Now THAT is a conspiracy theory!

The man who set himself on fire outside Trump's hush money trial in New York has reportedly died from his injuries.
Max Azzarello, a 37-year-old from St. Augustine, Florida, reportedly died Friday night hours after the display, said to be 'an 'extreme act of protest...[against] a totalitarian con, and our own government' on the conspiracy theorist's own Substack.
The reported revelation was offered to The New York Post late Monday, hours after he doused himself in accelerant outside the courthouse before going up in flames.
Left in critical condition, Azzarello has since succumbed to those wounds, sources told the paper, as a series of social media posts - including some about Taylor Swift - show the protester's unstable state of mind before the bizarre display.
He threw a stack of pamphlets that included a link to a conspiracy-laden Substack before igniting himself with a lighter, in front of dozens of horrified witnesses.
'This extreme act of protest is to draw attention to an urgent and important discovery,' Azzarello wrote in part of his online manifesto, billed as The Ponzi Papers.
'We are victims of a totalitarian con, and our own government (along with many of their allies) is about to hit us with an apocalyptic fascist world coup.'
'Trump's in on it,' Azzarello reportedly told the Times on Thursday, saying his beliefs were influenced by research he had carried out into Peter Thiel, the venture capitalist behind companies like PayPal and Facebook.
'It's a secret kleptocracy, and it can only lead to an apocalyptic fascist coup,' he said.
Those quotes were offered as Trump's criminal trial entered its third day of jury selection over alleged falsified business records related to payments made to an ex-porn star during his campaign.
The GOP frontrunner was indicted last April, and denies any wrongdoing.

Now THAT is a conspiracy theory!

Yeah.I thought this would happen. At that point he’s well out of it. That would have been a long torturous thing to go through and maybe dying months ahead anyway.
Sorry for his family. I’m sure they’re devastated. Many liked this guy, said he was a nice guy.
He will vote absentee.
Not much. After all, he grew up with a mothe that wouldn’t let him have a BB gun because she was afraid he would shoot his eye out. She should have been more concerned abouyt himplaying with matches.
Too soon
A reporter on the scene described this immolation as it was happening.
Someone timed the first extinguisher on the scene arrived after nearly FIVE MINUTES...!
🤭
ANOTHER JACKASS
Not too awful far from some stuff we see posted here, sad to say.
The employment history is interesting...
His condition took a turn for the wurst.
Place Mark
Horrific, painful attack on self.
Antifa go poof!
So sad that no one would listen to him about the Beatles being part of a government plot that involved Obama, Biden, and Trump to instigate a fascist coup.
*rolls eyes*
Saved from a whole lot of pain on earth. Only Jesus knows whether his obviously abnormal mental state merited the up or down chute.
