Anyone heard how the guy who set himself on fire is doing?

[imanamerican63]

I don’t know why he did, but it is a horrible thing to do!

1. Last I heard he is in critical condition in a hospital burn unit.

Some sort of conspiracy believer.

2. This is him at same location yesterday... Politically and mentally "down the rabbit hole"

4. Appears psychotic.

Bizarre ideation and then sets himself on fire in front of the courthouse where Trump is on trial.

11. I think he did it there

For the reporters and camera. Guaranteed audience and publicity.

[Irish_Dem]

15. Yes. Attention seeking and psychotic.

3. Article I saw updated around 6pm said "unlikely to survive." n/t

5. That poor sick guy.

[Stinky The Clown]

6. Last I heard he was intubated and in very critical condition.

I guess he can be called a conspiracy theorist, but the reality is he is exhibiting severe mental illness quite apart from politics.

I feel sorry for him.

[Tarc]

7. And nothing of value was lost

MAGA cultists have truly gone off the deep end.

[Scrivener7]

9. It doesn't seem like he was MAGA. I think he was just a really

troubled soul.

10. Setting oneself on fire is not a right-wing form of protest

Throughout history the vast majority have been leftists. The reason is to get sympathy for the cause. Right-wingers don't do sympathy.

[Tarc]

16. right-wingers are unhinged crazies

The old rules are out the window.

[Polybius]

17. Except with this

They would take out others, not just themselves.

[mn9driver]

8. Unlikely to survive.

12. He died

People rushed and tried to put out the flames, but the intensity of the heat could be felt from some distance.

After a minute or two, dozens of police officers arrived, running around and climbing over barricades to extinguish the blaze. The man was loaded into an ambulance and rushed to a hospital burn unit. He died on Friday night.
