1. Mentally disturbed if unable to accomplish the feat. Not a lot of planning. . . . nt

3. I wouldn't have given him too much credit, had he pulled it off

Complete and successful self-immolation doesn't seem to register as a mark of mental stability.

4. Yes. Success at self-immolation would be correct execution of a stupid and wrong plan. . . . . nt

8. this was both ill conceived and poorly executed

2. Self-ignition...

The absolute dumbest form of protest.

6. If he can vote right-handed

He still may chave a chance at limiting military aid to support a war criminal who's only trying to stay out of jail; and at the same time, stop a domestic criminal who wants to become a war criminal.

He better hope Harris/Walz win, because a self-immolation attempt is certainly a pre-existing condition.

7. And this helps how?

So you die a seriously painful death. Then what?

[JoseBalow]

10. He wasn't even trying to do that, just singe his left arm

What an idiot

[prodigitalson]

9. what a dumbass

11. I really don't think this guy...

....understands how Barbaric HAMAS and Hezbollah are

If he is doing this for Palestine....he's a day late and a dollar short and I highly doubt they care about his self-inflicted sense of self-importance. I don't think Israel gives a fuck either.

12. Another moron for Hamas.
