Hi, are outside of the courthouse in Manhattan where we’re waiting history to be made. A full jury panel is done. We are watching a man who was fully emblazoned in the front of the courthouse today, we’re watching multiple fires breaking out around his body and person. We have seen an arm that has been visible, that has been engulfed in total flames. There is chaos and it’s happening. People who are wondering right now if people are in danger. I’m looking at across the courtyard, there is a man racing with and aid.

If he was trying to draw attention to how horrible Trump’s being treated, the goons and thugs will say he was mentally ill and this had nothing to do with how Trump is being railroaded.

Now compare to Fox

Fox was calm and apologized to viewers

CNN gave the play by play of smelling burning flesh

Fox live version

The vietnam war era called, and they want their Buddhist protest trope back.

I don’t care if this person was a trump supporter or someone with massive TDS. If you willingly self-immolate, you are no hero of mine. Try going out and doing something positive, or influencing people, or starting a movement, or donating to a cause.

Granted, the man allegedly put himself on fire. But, didn’t the commentary seem rehearsed? She was somewhat nonchalant in her description of the alleged event.

It was nice of him to self-cremate. Most suicides are not that thoughtful.

He wrote a manifesto on how trump and biden are working on bringing fascism to the US. His linkedin pic is him with Bill Clinton. A true lunatic.

I wonder if this was some kind of idiot accident, not a suicide attempt.

Build a fire and be warm for a night.

Set yourself on fire and be warm for a lifetime.
