US Air Force member Aaron Bushnell made a chilling final Facebook post just before he burned himself to death outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC. Bushnell, 25, penned a Facebook post about standing against injustice early Sunday, before his horrific self-immolation while repeatedly crying out, “Free Palestine.”
“Many of us like to ask ourselves, ‘What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide?’” he asked in his post. “The answer is, you’re doing it. Right now.”
It was confirmed by a spokesperson for the Air Force that Aaron Bushnell is an active-duty airman. The post — his first since April 2018 — included a link to a livestream video on Twitch that showed Bushnell setting himself alight while saying he “will no longer be complicit in genocide [in Gaza].”
The footage was taken down for violating Twitch’s community guidelines. Bushnell died from his injuries, police and US Air Force officials confirmed to The Post on Monday.

Since there's no video link in that article (unless I missed it): Did he take it like a man like that monk, or did he scream in agony?

Play with fire, you’ll eventually get burned.

Not sure as I’ve only seen the beginning of the video where he explains what he is doing and talks about genocide
Reportedly was screaming ‘Free Palestine’ while he could still talk during it

He was standing up for a decent amount of time while on fire.

I'm sorry he suffered with such mental distress. I am also glad he is no longer a US service member. Its like a WW2 vet upset by the loss of Nazis in Germany. He's rooting for the wrong team.

Well that wasn't very prudent
Edit: He looks exactly like what I expected.

The ‘Arab Spring’ was kicked off after an impoverished street vendor was ticketed for selling fruit without a permit and then self immolated to kill himself
Pretty sure that inspired this guy along with a few others that did similar stuff

In an OT Worthy comment, one of the first commments on IG was:
"Those Air Force guys really will do anything to get out of PT."

More people yelling "Free Palestine" need to protest like this coward.

People are so GD impressionable these days because they've replaced thinking with feeling.
It's the root of ALL of our problems. All of them.

It’s ok. We did a welfare check on Pecker and he’s fine and currently trolling the Leftists of the greater Seattle area. Stand down, gents.

Wrong side of history. Poster child for extreme left wing lunacy.
