Protester self-immolates outside Israeli consulate in Atlanta

[toomuchtime_]

A protester with a Palestinian flag self-immolated on Friday outside the Israeli consulate in Atlanta, injuring a security guard who attempted to intervene, authorities said.

The person, whom officials did not identify, is in critical condition, Police Chief Darin Schierbaum said at a news conference. The guard's condition was not immediately clear.

"We believe this building remains safe, and we do not see any threat here," the chief said. "We believe that was an act of extreme political protest."

The protester arrived around 12:17 p.m. at the office building, which houses the consulate as well as several businesses, and used gasoline, police said.

The FBI's Atlanta office said it was coordinating with local law enforcement. The consulate and the Israeli embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

I guess people are free to do whatever they want as long as they don't hurt others.

A day which the Israeli terrorists will have to live with forever .
The nation has become an outcast
The shame for honourable Jews who distance themselves from these evil people is beyond huge ..

Was the protest for the collapse of the cease fire? Hamas must have wanted it to end. Otherwise, why kill civilians at a bus stop.

That was an awful thing to do. I pray that never happens again.

It’s a shame someone was hurt besides the human torch.

Think of all the greenhouse gasses the idiot emitted.

These people are calling for a genocide of the Jews. I have no sympathy for them.

Meh.

At least he didn't blow up.

Yeah....him along with innocent civilians.

This is what the white mainstream media wants people who've already condemned Hamas to do, set themselves on fire for Israel.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Hamas should do just that.

A man set himself on fire outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington, the police said.

The man, who filmed and livestreamed the protest, was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries. The U.S. Air Force confirmed he was an active-duty airman.

A U.S. Air Force officer set himself on fire in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington, D.C., to protest the actions of U.S. and Israeli politicians in the Gaza Strip, The New York Times reported.

The man broadcast his actions on the streaming platform Twitch. He was taken to the hospital in critical condition. According to embassy spokeswoman Tal Naim, no one from the diplomatic mission was injured.

The pilot said he did not want to participate in "genocide," repeating slogans used by opponents of Israel's military action in the Gaza Strip, particularly "For Palestine." He doused himself with a clear liquid from a bottle and lit a fire. It took police officers more than a minute to put out the flames.

That beats flinging paint at priceless art. At least the perpetrator is running for a Darwin Award.

Just seen the video on Kaotic. The guy set up a camera to video it. Police/security come galloping in shouting, "Get on the ground". One cop/security guy stood the entire time aiming his gun at the bloke on fire, I was thinking, "Wtf"
