US Air Force service member self immolates in protest to Israel

Shortly before 1 p.m. on Sunday, Bushnell began his livestream and walked toward the Israeli Embassy with an insulated water bottle full of flammable fluid. “I will no longer be complicit in genocide,” he said in his video. “I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest. But compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it’s not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.”

Bushnell then placed his phone on the ground and walked to the gates of the embassy, where he doused himself in liquid from the bottle. “Free Palestine,” he said, as he struggled to light himself. A law-enforcement officer approached, asking, “Can I help you, sir?” At this point, Bushnell lit himself on fire, screaming, “Free Palestine.”

No matter how noble you find his cause to be, this dude senselessly threw his life away for no reason. Nothing is going to change in the conflict because of this, and in the 24 hour news cycle, he'll be forgotten about within a week.

My amateur diagnosis is he had some legitimate mental condition that he did not receive the proper treatment for. You simply HAVE to be crazy to do something like this.

https://i.imgflip.com/87aimw.jpgHow is being pro Palestine even considered 'woke'? In order to be right wing, do you have to have a rightwing stance on EVERYTHING? So if I'm far right on 97 issues, but I take an optically left stance on the 98th does that contaminate my entire right wing existence and I'm considered a lefty now, is that how it works? If so, that's pretty fascist ideology.

Relax. You're overthinking it. Lefties love Muslims. Never mind that many of those same Muslims would probably kill them.

Or have actual strong beliefs in something?

Vast majority of the posters left on this site are brain dead, ignorant morons who live in their own world

Very sad. The only explanation for this act is having a severe mental illness that you think you would be making a difference by killing yourself. And killing yourself in this way. If he was a believer in God the almighty, then surely God is disappointed in him. No one will remember this guy's name. Sad for him and the family.

This post reminded me of the existence is pain t-shirt.

It's an image that makes you think. It communicates that existence is such pain that he doesn't even care that he's on fire. It's a profound message, and I am sure that RRR3 himself can appreciate just how much it communicates. He's on fire, yet appears indifferent and unaffected by the overwhelming pain, because it's just part of his existence. Which is so intense that the pain of the fire doesn't even register. Just a normal part of his human experience.

100% of his posts are whining about people he doesn’t like or projecting about his army of alts. He never actually discusses basketball or anything else. The little guy is absolutely miserable because his only friend in the world is fatty.

jstern's gravestone will highlight his unusual fetish of caring about strangers he dislikes on a basketball forum, even above his own family and friends, if he has any

How sad and pathetic of an individual.

I like RRR3, and the only reason I created that shirt was in response to a request from Patrick Chewing, not out of any sense of animosity. Just how I made the following avatar after you requested it.

Saltymeatballs and Highwhey are my alts. It’s impossible that more than one person thinks jstern is a retarded loser

I don’t think anyone would make that mistake.

That Salty guy has a mind of a child but his iq range is hovering in the low 80’s

Highwhey and axe are both hovering around the mid 60’s, upwards to low 70’s on a good day

[SaltyMeatballs]

There's a common theme with those who like jstern. Y'all can figure it out.

Considering you most likely can't count past 100, I'll take this as a compliment.

this is the equivalent of a kid bringing out his toys to show guests. have been examined for any neurological disorders? my bet is Asperger's syndrome.

Yeah, people who are able to grasp “sarcasm” :lol

Maybe someday you will figure it out

We’ll see.

So I need to explain the joke to you? Anyone who does this clearly belongs in a mental institution.
