BREAKING: Man Self-Immolates Outside Trump Trial in Manhattan
Redstate ^ | 4/19/24 | Brittany Sheehan

Posted on 04/19/2024 2:07:11 PM PDT by Blood of Tyrants

Warning: Disturbing video:

A horrific scene occurred on Friday outside the Manhattan courthouse where the trial of former President Donald Trump is underway. A man doused himself with a flammable liquid before setting himself on fire near the courtroom on day four of the criminal trial, just moments after a full jury of 12 was impaneled. The video captures distressing images of a man twitching on the ground while engulfed in flames.

Another individual rushed in with a fire extinguisher to help, as law enforcement stripped off their jackets and took other measures in an effort to extinguish the flames.

Once the flames were extinguished, emergency crews rushed the man away in an ambulance. The NYPD is investigating the incident.

It does not matter his political views - he is mentally ill and soon to be - was - mentally ill. This is very tragic and a horrible way to go.

I just saw Bret Baier call it “the historic trial of President Trump”

Slimy worm 🪱

(no offense to worms comparing them to Baier)

TV muted immediately

I had just changed channels

Funny who they couldn’t discover the House baseball assassin was a Bernie “Feel the Burn” Sanders supporter but instantly know this guy was MAGA guy!

“ Congratulations to Alvin Bragg, he is probably patting himself on the back for causing an excruciating death.”

He’s not dead

Same with the self-immolating monks during Vietnam.

I remember those days. It didn’t really change anyone’s mind about anything.

I'd say he's mortally wounded.

It may take a few hours or it may take several months languishing in agonizing pain before he passes but he's not gonna make it.

There's multiple pics on Twitter of him being wheeled away on a stretcher. His clothes have burned off. His boots have melted to his feet. His arms are frozen in place. He's done.

🤔

I still think he’s a GOP Establishment goon.

Neil Cavuto is worse, I think.

Well, pretty sure his life went up in flames.

It looked like a dumpster fire on TV

We can agreed bon Cavuto.
He lost all credibility with me with his hysteronics about “The Shot”!
Such a baby.
One of the many reasons I don’t watch Fox with the regularity I used to.
