Airman, 25, shrieks 'Free Palestine' as he burns at Israel embassy
Horrific video shows Aaron Bushnell, 25, explaining the reasons for his 'extreme act of protest' as he walked up to the building before screaming 'Free Palestine' as he went up in flames.
When your dream of becoming an 'influencer' goes up in flames. I wonder what kind of mental afflictions he was suffering from.
My guess, another DIE victim. Biden's military at work.
Everything he said leading up to that was regurgitation of leftist anti-white talking points. How they are so messed up that they go to burning alive rather than telling the anti-white lobby to go fuck themselves, that I will never understand.
We need to encourage more white leftists to do the same thing. Char broil yourself for the cause!
It's not just white guilt. Some young men, especially young white men, are just so lost and alienated in our modern zeitgeist, so bereft of any normal avenue to feel virtuous and valued, so bullied and beaten down by all of the institutional contempt directed at them, that they feel like acting out their virtue signals in such an extreme way is the only way they have of fulfilling their need to belong.
That was one hell of a hissy fit. ;)
He committed to his madness, I'll give him that..
Anyone not in the immediate territory of Israel has NO power to stop the coming 'ant meet boot' of how it's going to end. Egypt is reinforcing their border in a way that makes Texas take notes jealousy to keep the Palestinians contained in the steamroll and any other neighbouring countries are keeping their heads down after the B-ONE retaliatory strikes for US servicemen killed.
Anything like this ordering the West to intervene is shouting into the wind.
Egypt is raising its walls, because it doesn't want the Israeli to push the Palestinians into their territory. They're Muslim Brotherhood aligned, which makes them undesirable additions.
Yeah they're VERY open while they're not pro Israel (but they're probably the most ambivalent towards them in the entire region) they are NOT pro Palestinian as after the Muslim Brotherhood rule, they have no wish to allow anything that may enable that to happen again.
Fitting, since the guy looks like a huge flamer.
Also, buried in there is an interesting digression about Michigan’s large Muslim population being encouraged to vote “uncommitted” instead of Biden in their state’s primary. I hadn’t considered it, but Michigan is a huge swing state, and I wonder if Biden’s support for Israel might end up screwing him in the general election as a result.
On the other hand I’m sure TPTB can just print up a couple million more votes to fix the problem.
There's always money in the banana stand!
Arrested Development is what immediately came to mind when I read the article and saw the guy’s picture.
Figured it had to be an Arrested Development reference--too perfect!
It could sour some voters on Biden for sure, but American politics is largely a contest of which party can pander harder to Israel. GOP doing/saying anything different?
No, both parties are of course looking out for Israel…but at a minimum, if Mr. Dirka Dirka Jihad Muhammad from Dearborn was pumped to vote against trump before, he might just decide to stay home now.
Michigan has a ton of Muslims, and the result of the general election could very well hinge on Michigan. In a fair election this could actually make a difference…
Do you think they would risk letting a conservative win? I don't. As far as I know, the leading candidates all support Israel anyways.
I doubt they're that worried about a single conservative being elected. Don't forget how little power the chief executive has over his own executive branch, thanks to civil service "reform". Remember how the permanent unelected bureaucracy spent years undermining Trump?
Airman performed the "become maimed because of Israel" speed run.
/It was only a matter of time.
Yeah, he's dead.
For my daily Rome thought...
One of the great and legendary heroes of Rome was a man named Gaius Mucius Scaevola.
The quick version of the story is that when Rome was besieged by the Etruscan king Lars Porsena, Mucius snuck into the camp to assassinate Porsena. In the king's tent, he killed the wrong man and was immediately captured. While looking at Porsena, Gaius said "I'm just one man willing to die for Rome. There are a hundred others just like me. I may have missed my mark, but one of the others will not."
And, saying this, he stuck his right hand into the fire, unfliching as his hand was burned beyond recognition or repair.
Porsena was horrified by this and returned Mucius back to Rome, sending a message of treaty at the same time. (Mucius earned the name Scaevola--left hander--as an honorary name.) Porsena didn't want to fuck around with that kind of dedication.
I watched the video of the self-immolation. Not the same. Horrifying, but not the same.
No military guys, "what was he thinking!?"
Military guys, "fucking E1..."
That the basic grunt rank? I only know thanks to certain videos of the E4 mafia...
All government jobs are defined by a letter and number that corresponds to pay grade. Exx for enlisted, Oxx for officer, Wxx for warrant officer, Gxx for civilian government employee.
Yes, it's the rank you mumble under your breath when you see someone doing something stupid. In this case, "airmen... Couldn't you just pick up girls at the gate like the others?"
Human rights activists are nutters.
He sure showed them!
Honestly if you've resigned yourself to dying horrifically I could probably think up many more creative ways to do it.
Its clearly antisemitic to criticize israel.
Did his shrieking end when his vocal cords got seared like a cheap steak?
lol
Went super saiyan IRL
My bad, better set myself on fire.
It's telling that you set up a false dichotomy between inaction and actual, literal self immolation.
That's what the story and topic here are about, though...
He replied to my comment about the psychology of apathy/inaction, not a comment that said "if you dont burn yourself you are bad".
Idk if you guys are even being genuine here, the comment I wrote is right there above our replies.
So you commented on a post about self-immolation but your comment has nothing to do with it?
I commented about apathy.
Next time, explain
