Protestor sets themselves on fire outside courthouse of Trump trial

Why you posting without a link?

They can't catch him if he's on fire.

The protesters are maga right?

I thought protesting is usually were gonna disrupt something until we get what we want.

This just seems like isolated mental illness.

I'm censoring this to avoid triggering any potential moderations.

Why is everyone assuming it's a maga person. It happened near protesting against Israel as well.

But yeah even if they were a super duper liberal and protesting something that I agree with, setting yourself on fire is so unbelievably goddamn fucking stupid and accomplishes absolutely nothing aside from either killing or horrifically disfiguring yourself and everyone else just going oh, anyway

Wonder how the right will cover this, after they shit all over the military member who did the same a few months ago.

Julie Berman, 56, a Manhattan resident who came to the plaza to photograph protesters, saw the man set himself on fire. He had a sign saying something about Trump and Biden working together to orchestrate a coup, she said, and another one alleging some kind of Ponzi scheme. She said he told her to get back, then doused himself with liquid, threw some fliers in the air, then doused himself again before flicking a lighter and lighting himself on fire.

She said she was about 15 feet away.

I thought it was water at first, she said of the liquid the man doused himself with. It happened so fast and took my mind so long to catch up.

She had approached him to take a photograph, because photographing people around Trump events has become a hobby for her. Before she could ask him to take a close-up, he yelled at her repeatedly: Get away!

He appeared to be under age 40, she said; he reminded her of protesters from my Greenpeace days.

She said she did not wait to watch him burn to death, as others did.

The man was carrying pamphlets about lots of different subjects that said things like said things like "NYU is a mob front" and "Abolish our criminal government and replace it with one that serves all."

Literally setting themselves on fire, to, "own the libs" lmao

This appears to be his rationale. I guess.

I dont think we should immediately assume this dude is MAGA.

This probably stroked Trump's ego like when he said he could shoot someone and not lose voters.
