LOL.

I hope this catches on.

    That boy’s on fire!

    I am a partisan Republican. But I don’t celebrate anyone who sets themselves on fire for their political beliefs. Let’s suppose, for the sake of argument, that Trump loses the next election. Are all of you going to laugh and joke and celebrate when all of the Trump supporters set themselves on fire? I think not.

    “We’re left wondering why he would have done such a thing. This was obviously a protest of some sort, but it’s difficult to say what he was protesting. ”

    This is why burying the lede is such poor form for self-immolators. It’s difficult to break the audience away from the whole engulfed in flames distraction thing and explain your point to them.

    Pro Tip – Good signage or a proper, coherent manifesto can help.

The circus has just begun.

Is it a fireman?

The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.

    I just saw the new Ghostbusters movie, Frozen Empire. This guy probably thought he was the character, Nadeem, the Fire Master. He is an ancient protector with a legacy passed down who comes to power to manipulate fire, a new skill he uses to help the Ghostbusters defeat Garraka.

Trump violated his gag order to deliver his trademark line, “you’re fired.”

The news person sounds pretty unconcern. Some get fire extinguisher. We are “so sorry” like he is responsible. Oh they are putting him out with coats.

Give me a break.

You just know the MSM will blame the Bad Orange Man

Warning Pretty graphic. They say he set himself on fire. Who knows what happened. Surprise police were not quicker since Trump is in the court house.

“Why do people keep doing this?!”

Because leftism is a mental illness to which the already deeply mentally ill are particularly susceptible?

    Aren’t you making a massive assumption the guy was on the left? Reports indicate he was standing with a group of Trump supporters …

      Gosport in reply to BartE. | April 19, 2024 at 2:57 pm

      Massive assumption? No, not really.

      When was the last time you heard about a conservative self-immolating in support of their cause? Because the last time a leftist one did it was 2 months ago.

      Are you a wagering man?

      nordic prince in reply to BartE. | April 19, 2024 at 3:02 pm

      Reports indicate he was standing with a group of Trump supporters

      Ergo he was a Trump supporter? Talk about assumptions….

      Click Sanddogs link… it’s got all the guy’s stuff. He was all over the place… unlike most here I can’t giggle about a human at such a point mentally they commit self immolation. And after watching the video of him burning… and then hearing he’s still alive…the whole thing is horrific

      AF_Chief_Master_Sgt in reply to BartE. | April 20, 2024 at 7:45 am

      Yeah. So did a lot of J6 instigators.

    Extreme TDS, I have been telling people suffering from TDS that it is potentially fatal for a long time. When Trump is reelected there will probably be a rash of high blood pressure cases such as strokes and heart attacks.

Somewhere I have a collection of jokes about Buddhist monks setting themselves on fire during the Vietnam War era. On second thought, today’s crybullies would never be able to appreciate them.

How does Daily Mail get these stories before everyone else.?

Looks like Biden just got another voter

I admire his dedication.
More democrats/liberals should follow this example to show their support to their cause.

It added a note of dignity to the charges.

Apparently, they guy’s name is Max Azzarello and his substack is full of nutso conspiracy theory crap.

    what make you believe that it’s nutso,…maybe he knows something that we don’t!

      He left you a link. Read it and go dig for gold if you think it worthwhile.

        MarkSmith in reply to healthguyfsu. | April 19, 2024 at 7:38 pm

        It is pretty interesting. Not way off wack. Did you read it. Pretty much says that Crypo is a Ponzi scheme which I agree with. Interesting that the FBI seems was after him. That might be his mental health kicking in, but I am not ready to write him off as a total nut case, just someone that is giving up.

          CommoChief in reply to MarkSmith. | April 19, 2024 at 9:50 pm

          Choosing to set yourself on fire in order to burn to death as the preferred means of suicide seems ….Cray Cray. There are plenty of other more effective, quicker, less painful methods that won’t leave you in a life of misery this guy is gonna have if you are unsuccessful.

          healthguyfsu in reply to MarkSmith. | April 20, 2024 at 12:27 am

          It also has things that say the Simpson is on TV to brainwash us just embedded randomly in the middle of a sentence.

          Read the others in that trail in the substack. Dude is loony.

          Crypto being a Ponzi scheme and it being a globalist conspiracy to destroy all of our economies are essentially two different theories.

          “the Simpson is on TV to brainwash us just embedded randomly in the middle of a sentence.”

          Two can play the subliminals game!
          (Fnord!)

This is carrying burnt offerings to a new level…. again. But it’s NYC, so nothing to see…move along please. Oh… and it’s all Trump’s fault.

The Gentle Grizzly | April 19, 2024 at 2:48 pm

When will Trump be brought up on arson charges.

No one is worried about the guy’s carbon footprint.

Looks like a “False Fire” operation to me.

Setting aside motives and other possibilities for a moment…

Do these people not know what even a minor burn feels like when they choose to do this?

Was this one for “Palestine” too ? I mean the last poor man did get a street named after him in Gaza or something like that.

on CNN the “reporter”
was yelling active shooter …
lol

    DaveGinOly in reply to jqusnr. | April 20, 2024 at 2:15 am

    Yeah, I noticed that too. It seems when there’s a commotion, the go-to cause is guns. She was probably disappointed that she was not on the scene of a mass shooting committed by a Trump supporter. Some guy lighting himself on fire? Meh.

I knew the Trump trial would be lit, but…..

Is there any word, yet, on why?
(I’m not reading that ponzipapers link.)

Mary, please update this when you get more info.

Would seem he wasn’t for or against just Trump but Sundowner as well

These smores taste funny.

The selfies kids do to generate clicks on the internet for themselves nowadays. smh

BigRosieGreenbaum | April 19, 2024 at 4:50 pm

Good lord,what’s wrong with people? Was this guy protesting Trump or the fact that he’s even on trial?
And the news guy: anyone have a fire extinguisher? Yes, here’s one in my purse. Please return it when you’re done.
Maybe Biden will see this and because of his senility, during one of his angry moments, he’ll just light himself up on live TV.

Finally! Someone with the courage of his convictions. He was burning to get his views out and lit up the joint when he did

How horribly agonizing. A bullet to the head would be much quicker and kinder to the bystander as patchouli and gasoline don’t smell good when mixed with burning flesh.

This is just lala land

“The police identified him as Maxwell Azzarello.”
More like Mediumwell Delmonico.

I still am disbelieving guy lived past the point they put him out. If so it was a miserable finish of his life.

Finished Triumph Forsaken Vietnam War 1956-65by Mark Moyar ( reading Triumph Regained now) and it covered well the Buddhist immolation episodes. Seems they were prompted by the Communists.

I don’t think a person setting themselves on fire is funny.

    I don’t think absurdity is artistic, either, but Eugene Ionesco made craploads more money and fame than I did by taking the other side of that bet.
