Is it relate to the Trump trial in some way or is it just a coincidence that someone just happened to commit suicide outside the courthouse?

The man who lit himself on fire outside Manhattan court during former President Donald Trump’s “hush money” trial Friday has been identified by police as Max Azzarello, a Florida man who describes himself online as an “investigative researcher.”

Moments before he doused himself in gasoline and set himself ablaze, Azzarello tossed a stack of pamphlets into the air, which included links to a Substack newsletter apparently authored by the self-immolator called “The Ponzi Papers.”

The psycho who set himself on fire in front of the courthouse where Trump is being tried is a communist antisemite who cheered on Hamas.
If he survives, he might get a job offer from Columbia U.

I hope someone has changed the headline from "themselves" to "himself," even if he "identified" as something other than a soyboy.

This guy was not a liberal but from the far right. He tried to sue the Clintons, Zuckerbuerg etc and was ranting about the deep state.

But he seems to have called himself a Communist.

Whatever his state of mind, he felt deeply enough about it to immolate himself, something I would not wish on anyone.

As for how he is doing, my guess is medium well. A minute lit up that thoroughly will likely prove fatal.

A note to folks who have what can be described as "conspiracy theories": If you have done good research, from reliable sources, and have something solid, at least stick around until you can say "I told you so!", whether you actually say it or not.

I sit corrected. It was H. Ross Perot Jr. he sued, who is still alive.

People with mental health issues like him have mixed beliefs.

Remember that psycho that shot Gabby Gifford‘s in Arizona several years ago?  He hated both Gabby Giffords, a Democrat and George W. Bush, a Republican.

I saw comments on Twitter about his being a conservative,  but he described  himself as communist.  Better description  would be mad as a hatter.

He has shuffled off this mortal coil.

A Life Overtaken by Conspiracy Theories Explodes in Flames as the Public Looks On
Friends of Max Azzarello, who set himself on fire outside Donald J. Trump’s trial, said he was a caring person whose paranoia had led him down a dark path.


Quote


The journey that ended with a man setting himself on fire on Friday outside the Manhattan courthouse where Donald J. Trump was being tried seemed to have begun in Florida, with a series of increasingly bizarre outbursts.

Standing in the afternoon chill, the man, Max Azzarello, 37, of St. Augustine, Fla., threw pamphlets into the air before dousing himself with an accelerant and setting his body ablaze. The police hurried to extinguish the flames, and he was taken to a hospital burn unit, gravely injured. He died on Friday night.

The fire just a block or two from the courthouse appeared calculated to draw widespread attention, horrifying bystanders and temporarily overshadowing the momentous trial of a former president.

But a closer look at the path the man had traveled to this moment of self-destruction revealed a recent spiral into volatility, one marked by a worldview that had become increasingly confusing and disjointed — and appeared to be unattached to any political party. His social media postings and arrest records suggest the immolation stemmed instead from a place of conspiracy theories and paranoia.

Liberals so desperately want him to be a Trump supporter because he's a white male, but in reality, he's a disenfranchised leftist who hates everyone in gov.
