A California man was taken to the hospital after he set himself on fire in protest of Donald Trump outside of Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday.

“I was trying to light myself on fire…it was an act of protest,” the man told NBC DC reporter Shomari Stone.

Asked what he was protesting, the man said he was “protesting the fact that we’ve elected somebody who is completely incapable of respecting the Constitution of the United States.”

Who was the guy who tried to set himself on fire each time Obama was "elected?"  There wasn't one?  Oh.

[Right_in_Virginia]

The idiot set his duffle bag on fire.

Couldn't he just cut his penis off?

Couldn't he just cut his penis off?

My bet is that he doesn't have one.

Total BS!

His claim is that he 'tried'(yeah right) to set himself on fire but somehow he "accidentally" messed it up.

Pretty convenient doncha think? I don't believe a word of it.

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

Disappointed. Was expecting this:

Asked what he was protesting, the man said he was “protesting the fact that we’ve elected somebody who is completely incapable of respecting the Constitution of the United States.”

That train left the station at least eight years ago.

Bonfire of the vanities?

[Oceander]

Just what, exactly, does setting yourself on fire as a protest do, anyways, other than demonstrating that you're clinically insane and an immediate danger to yourself and others?  It's even stupider than going on a hunger strike, which is also a psychotic thing to do.

Give a man a fish, he eats for a day.
Teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime.
Give a man a fire, he's warm for a day.
Set a man on fire, he's warm for the rest of his life.

That's so, so yesterday.

[goatprairie]

That's so, so yesterday.

I'd be satisfied the next four years if they just held their collective breaths until they turned blue. They could stamp their feet too.

[Wingnut]

That's so, so yesterday.

I know. It just couldn't cut it.

[Smokin Joe]

I know. It just couldn't cut it.

I think that protest came up short...

A man too stupid to be able to set himself on fire is a man too stupid to listen to regarding politics.

[Hondo69]

If the EPA gets wind of this they might equate him to a wood burning stove and fine him $ 30,000

A man too stupid to be able to set himself on fire is a man too stupid to listen to regarding politics.

It is being misreported on purpose. It is a clickbait headline.
He didn't set himself on fire. He set his coat or backpack or something on fire and then claimed that he was trying to set himself on fire.


He only had a few minor burns. It is a publicity stunt and just more fake news. But it worked and I'm sure he'll profit from several interviews about this. After all because of this he is now a hero and a spokesman for the Left.

Sam McGee...

"And there sat Sam, looking cool and calm, in the heart of the furnace roar;
And he wore a smile you could see a mile, and he said: "Please close that door.
It's fine in here, but I greatly fear you'll let in the cold and storm—
Since I left Plumtree, down in Tennessee, it's the first time I've been warm."

Liberals setting themselves on fire could be a potential energy source for the next few years, their bodies burning, heats up a boiler, which spins a turbine that generates electricity.

[Stosh]

Totally "Fake News"...he spontaneously combusted when his head exploded thinking about Trump's inauguration.

If you tenderize the Bejezus out of them and soak them in Worcestershire they're not half bad.
