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.
LINKWASHINGTON — 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.

Should be interesting to see that airman's name.....
I will bet he isn't black of the African variety.
Saw it on the local news this evening.
Terrible.
What do they call that? Self immolation?
Spell check didn't know either.

Prayers sent! Did he have a burning permit?
He has to be mentally ill to set himself on fire. Normal people don't set themselves on fire.

It is pronounced Claw-reen, spelt Chlorine.

Oh he’s black……now
Never stop your enemy from destroying themselves.
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.
I will bet he isn't black of the African variety.

Cold blooded
I would say he had a burning desire.
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
If all dimtards were this committed the world would be a better place.
Well, he sure showed them, didn't he?
That'll teach 'em.
Who was live streaming the video? That seems weird.
He made an ash of himself!
He made an ash of himself!
Lol, thats some funny $hit right there.

Buddhist monks in Vietnam, doing that live on the 6 o'clock news, would give you a very different and troubling impression. Israel is Evil is the message, but nobody hears.
Before he died, I wonder if he decided it wasn't such a good idea.
Top Notch Grade A- Virtue Signalling ....
Looked Caucasian, in cammo uniform. Beyond weird.
The world is full of mentally disturbed retards.
Sad deal for his family.
if he lives , i bet they give him the Big chicken dinner ..(Bad conduct discharge, for those not in the know ) for distruction of government property .for the military will tell you your body is govt property .. they told us in the 80's
That wasn’t a solution to much. Jokes aside, I personally hate to see something like that. He had a mom and a dad at the very least. I’m sure he thought it would be some grand gesture instead of a little blurb at a few online news sites.

He's dead.
That's not going to help global warming, did he have enough carbon credits to do that?
metaphor for the current state of the Repulican party. Lose the whitehouse, lose the senate, lose a working majority, in the house, go all in on the same fool again like a spectacle of self immolation.

"It was confirmed by a spokesperson for the Air Force that Aaron Bushnell is an active-duty airman."
IMO, looks like an indoctrinated, woke libtard. Probably full of woke self-loathing for being a member of the evil white race.
Like Clint would say, “ Break out the weenies” .
i bet he voted democrat ..if he didnt .now he dead ...he will now
I will bet he isn't black of the African variety.
I share your humor...

Good album.
We should all set ourselves on fire to protest our illegal occupation of the United States. We stole it from Native Americans and relegated them to reservations.
Aaron Bushnell, obviously mentally disturbed. I wonder if his real name was Aarianna.
Mentally unstable, Crazy, f'ed in the head?
I do know one thing, that boy found out what real pain is!

you first ..but first give back all yours and your families (sons ,Daughters, siblings ,parents ) land back to the indians. then and only then can you set yourself on fire first before we do
Good riddance, we're overrun with mentally ill idiots.

Tragically, his family will never be able to live it down.
Cynically, the AF is better off.
No lost... At least he won't have to have his hands in his pockets to keep them warm...
How does a "genocide" produce more people every year? The Palestinian population has grown over the same period that Hamas has claimed Israel is committing genocide. Funny thing...must be a new type of genocide..The number of Arabs inside of Israel has gone from 200,000 to over a million since 1948.

Yes, the Palestine girls evidently enjoy sex, very fertile girls.
You know... I just do not feel sorry at all for someone who is so stupid that they set themselves on fire on purpose... much less believe their is genocide going on in the Middle east done by Israel... atleast one more idiot out of the gene pool
One less dumbass in the world. No downside.
It’s good to know that we have such mentally stable people in our military. 😡
It does sorta show that leftists are ratcheting up their temper tantrums. Combine this with the BLM riots and remember the 70's where there were all those leftist bombing too? I'd imagine we're getting back to an environment like that here soon.
I lived on the Air Force Academy 2001-2005. Wife was AF JAG and I was stationed at Ft Carson. It was a great location. The Academy however was a liberal cesspool even then. It's nothing new. There are some great people who come out of the Academy, but it is run by liberal progressives and has been for many years.

I’d be afraid of this guy sabotaging a plane.
Perhaps he was overworked by his commanding officers. Too much work load can result in what is called "job burnout".

Truth be known, we need more of this. It's so much better when crazy people kill themselves and not others.

Brainwashed young demoRAT wokester.
The weird thing was that a policeman kept his pistol trained on him while others were running around trying to put him out with fire extinguishers.
That is absolutely Tasteless and Immature!
Nicely done Fats!

Fire Arms. You devil!
That is sick, sick. But, funny.
Sad that a young Lad gets this wrapped-up for a cause.

My thoughts exactly. Good ending on this one. At least he did it to himself and didnt shoot some public gathering up or something

In the air force? Are you kidding?
I actually feel sorry for the young man, he literally fell for a type of false gospel. That said, I haven’t seen anyone bring up an obvious point. He used the terms “colonizer” and “oppressor”. In his online statements he mention Jim Crowe and slavery. The point is, put this young man in the Army or Marines and tell him that someone in the US is the “colonizer” or “oppressor” and his conscience would not be bothered at all in doing whatever he felt needed to be done to you or anyone else.
Many of these children are and have been brainwashed. They feel they are on the side of right. If he would do this to himself, what will some of them do to you?

He was Muslim so mental illness is a given.

Meh. At the end of the day, his legacy will be a sidewalk stain that’s washed down the drain with some Dawn and a power washer.
Thank you old mike. Good God what a horrible video.
I wanted to watch it.
The military is a microcosm of society. There are screwed up people everywhere. Don't blame the military for the dumb actions of one person.

I agree...he was brainwashed...via group think and social media probably. It's really a sad outcome and a warning to everyone to be aware what one feeds their minds.
Ask how many phuuucks I give about a dumbass who sets himself on fire. You are correct the answer is zero. Edk
You know, thinking about it, we should be encouraging this form of protest for the left.

I get the sentiment but when Iran and others are calling this guy a hero and the left starts realizing this guy's going to be used to say "Look how strong he believed in the cause - why aren't YOU doing more rioting/shooting/bombing to help?" Like I said - there was a period of time in the 70's when there were leftist bombings in the US, this might be a return to that violence this summer.
X Link - talking
You all really should give a phuque. This dude was committed enough to burn himself to death. He would gladly do whatever he was ordered to do to you and your family by his woke superiors. All this guy needs is a Thulsa Doom to tell him to kill you instead of throwing himself off of the temple roof.

What you call commitment, I'd call insanity, but you're right as I firmly believe the mooslims in this country would happily strap a suicide vest on their 8 year old daughter if their imam told them to do it.

Well, he was a nonner so I kind of doubt that was the case.
It's not the first Bushnell I've seen implode.

MAY 3,
1997TUCSON — The Air Force said Friday it was looking into whether Capt. Craig Button dropped his A-10 attack jet out of formation over Arizona, flew it to Colorado and slammed it into a mountain because of allegations that a gay ex-lover was about to reveal their affair.
https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1997-05-03-mn-55051-story.html
“That’s the frustration,” said a senior military officer close to the investigation. “This remains a mystery to us. We’re focusing on how this happened, as well as why this happened. This is certainly not a normal situation for a highly trained pilot.”
Uuhhh, how about the military is having to rely on a largely MENTALLY ILL populace to staff the ranks? How hard is that to figure out?
The weird thing was that a policeman kept his pistol trained on him while others were running around trying to put him out with fire extinguishers.
Well, the guy was brandishing fire arms.
In the old days the cop would've yelled out "Freeze!!!"

I wonder if SGLI will pay out under this circumstance. I hope not.
The last SGLI briefing I sat in 6 years ago, the speaker told us DoD had paid out for every suicide and saying they would not was just a myth. I bet they pay out, but if they don’t, no loss. Now if he had a wife and kids, well that sucks.
