In front of the Israeli embassy in DC. He said he didn't want to be part of the 'genocide' any more.
Here's the link but I doubt you can open it. It's from our local paper. LINK

Quote
WASHINGTON — An active-duty member of the U.S. Air Force was critically injured Sunday after setting himself ablaze outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C., while declaring that he “will no longer be complicit in genocide,” a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.

The man, whose name wasn’t immediately released, walked up to the embassy shortly before 1 p.m. and began livestreaming on the video streaming platform Twitch, the person said. Law enforcement officials believe the man started a livestream, set his phone down and then doused himself in accelerant and ignited the flames. At one point, he said he “will no longer be complicit in genocide,” the person said. The video was later removed from the platform, but law enforcement officials have obtained and reviewed a copy.

The person was not authorized to publicly discuss details of the ongoing investigation and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity.

That's all the info I've found so far.
Takes me back to the monks doing that during the Vietnam war. Completely stupid and senseless. It never accomplishes anything beyond pointing out their insanity.

Here's a CNN link. It's longer but doesn't say anything more useful.

He has to be mentally ill to set himself on fire. Normal people don't set themselves on fire.

Burn injuries are horrible and painful. If that fire burned for more than a minute, he inhaled flames, and he will die after several hellish days.

is the US military [bleep] or what? At least this brave airman did the right thing, and made a move toward removing the absolute woke crap from the AF
