Too Soon? Introducing the Lighter Side of Self-Immolation
PJ Media ^ | 02/27/2024 | Stephen Green

Posted on 02/27/2024 9:39:43 AM PST by SeekAndFind

Welcome to the lighter side of self-immolation, and I don't mean the age-old debate between the classic sturdiness of a Zippo vs. the disposable convenience of a Bic. We're here to enjoy, if that's the correct word [Steve, that is not the correct word โ€”editor] the best of the worst social media reactions to the rather showy protest suicide on Sunday of one Aaron Bushnell, USAF.

He died shouting, "Free Palestine!"

Before you protest that it's indecent, unkind, and even inhumane to make fun of a crazy person who died in one of the worst ways possible, I'm here to tell you that I don't believe for one second that Bushnell was mentally disturbed. He was a committed revolutionary leftist, a vicious antisemite, and he willingly died for what he believed in.

Why are we letting unhinged Communists into the US military?

When you're being praised by someone whose bio is "From River to Sea," it's a sure thing there's not just murder but genocide in your heart.

Yet our own Air Force let in a self-proclaimed "revolutionary" who killed himself while implicitly demanding the expulsion or murder of millions of Jews, hopefully before he could do any real damage to the Air Force? Yeah, I'm going to laugh at him, given the slightest opportunity.ย 

"I said yesterday that everything this kid touched from his enlistment papers on needs to be looked at HARD. ย Starting to think I was right," is what atlanticcoast63 had to say about that.

The guy who set himself on fire in front of the Israeli embassy was knee deep in socialist propaganda.

I think there is a carbon footprint. Or, maybe two footprints.

Could it become a “thing” with the PRO-pal bunch? Guess that might bring cries of “flaming idiots” out eh? ๐Ÿ”ฅ

He must not have been using a Zippo. Took him too many tries to light up. That being said, I hope more like him start a new TikTok trend.

I am simply relieved he is not serving in the military any more, but no doubt after what has happened to the military since 2008, there are likely tens of thousands of socialist idiots like him serving.

This one just did his country a favor by killing himself stupidly, so we should be grateful to him for that.

This kind of lunatic is exactly why I tell young people to stay the hell away from our now Woke military.

In the long run, no good can come from this.

Once again, fossil fuels do the job

If these kooks are so eco-concious, why don’t they commit suicide using renewable energy??

At least he just killed himself unlike say Nidal Hasan who is still alive (awaiting execution) in prison for his mass shooting at Fort Hood in 2009.

The last thing to go through his mind were the Rice Krispies mascots Snap, Crackle, and Pop.

That really bothers me, that the scumbag is still consuming oxygen. He should have attained room temperature that day.

Better yet, he should have never been in the military, but that goes without saying.

Yeah 14+ years on and counting is hardly swift justice. I assume they are waiting for every appeal to be exhausted etc etc. Civilian executions take decades too sadly.

He wasn’t a “pilot” or “veteran” as Muslim liars keep saying on X. He was a coder, an IT guy.
