That would explain the lack of yelling and running.

Quoted:
Not knowing more than I do I'm not going to comment on this specific case. I mean, it could have been an accident and it could have been someone else that set him on fire for all we know...

That being said, I do believe that self immolation is the only way to appropriately protest Trump. Waving signs doesn't convince anyone, but if a million Democrats simultaneously burned themselves to death in a massive protest, they would convince me... Mostly they would convince me that they were completely crazy, but at least it would convince me of something.

I agree, but being in my 50’s, I take more convincing than younger folks that jump on bandwagons early. They’ll need to step those numbers up to fully sway me.

WTF?? So obviously he isn’t that strong on his convictions. It’s like going on a 3 day hunger strike with pockets full of snickers and shit. Lost all respect for him

Edit: after seeing some close ups I think he is fooked but still is bullshit we will have to cover his care while he tries to recover.

It's a start.

Now if a group of say 500 or so leftist commie turds lit themselves on fire, then I would definitely slow-clap their commitment.

As little sense as it makes to set yourself on fire as a protest, it makes even less to do so with protective clothing.

"My symbolic act of protest isn't even really symbolic because it obviously doesn't mean THAT much to me."

daily mail site said he was wearing some 'protective clothes', but unless this was a special effects stunt, he looks like he's getting burned

The flame/smoke color is interesting. Can't tell if that's a white balance issue with the camera, or something else like unusual fuel mixture or something.
