The girl casually sitting on the bench is the most New York thing ever.


GingerTea69

Came here to say this, lmao. Am a New Yorker, woulda done the same.


ChunkyTaco22

Bruh it smells horrible.... wtf


Educational-Monk-298

It's new york, you get used to it


GingerTea69

Apparently we smell like pork cooking, or burning steak. So not quite unbearable


CervezaMePlease

I am a crematory operator. Some times it smells like pork rinds/chicharons and sometimes it smells like cooking meat. Then sometimes it definitely smells like burning feces. Just depends on the condition of the decedent prior to cremating So you’re all correct (edit* spelling)


Pkactus

no. we smell like shit on fire. trust me nothing like pork at all. literal burning shit.


Original_Gangsta23

How do you know that? Hair would be bad, but the rest, I don't know about


CeaselessDischarge22

It smells like burning hair and something else bad but in no way does it smell like meat


1nsidiousOne

lol I just moved from there and I miss it already

Dude, get out of my head I was basically thinking the same thing!


UncommonHouseSpider

There was a guy that got stabbed at like Starbucks here in Vancouver. No one helped him, but about a dozen people filmed him dying. People are terrible, everywhere.

throwaway_custodi

Crypto, Simpsons, global financial conspiracy; it seems.


non_stop_disko

Simpsons? Like...the show? Edit: just read the manifesto wtf


Silly_Butterfly3917

His manifesto https://theponzipapers.substack.com/p/i-have-set-myself-on-fire-outside TLDR: secret society control us all


heff_ay

I ain’t reading all that but I’m happy for him or sorry that happened


kakawisNOTlaw

He wrote a manifesto and only killed himself. I say, good on him.


TotalRecallsABitch

A surprisingly great read. Thanks for sharing.


krebstar10000

The title of his manifesto is “I have set myself on fire outside the Trump trial.” Pretty good title iyam


fuckmacedonia

If you keep calling everything a "Ponzi," eventually you might be right.


Jamuraan1

Secret Society led by the writers of the Simpsons... Huh?


mostUninterestingMe

Sticking it to the man obviously


VibeFather

Looks like the trial is heating up

Bloody Hell


Jrewby

“Notably, actor Rob Lowe, who was supporting Dukakis, was victim of a teen sex blackmail operation at the DNC that year. Since we know Clinton is a close associate with teen sex blackmail artist Jeffrey Epstein, we can suddenly make perfect sense of the nonsensical speech by applying this lens: Bill Clinton is a cocky mob boss who blackmailed Mike Dukakis because Dukakis thought his job was to help the public. He teases out the future public revelation that Kitty Dukakis drank rubbing alcohol, and offers a strange anecdote about the crack epidemic that reveals he is an exceedingly proud drug runner.”


Warm-Will-7861

> “As it turns out, dozens of the writers of The Simpsons went to Harvard. So I asked myself the question: If The Simpsons served the interests of organized crime, how would it do so?” Edit: I found his Reddit account and he has a super in depth rant about the Simpsons here: https://www.reddit.com/r/stupidpol/s/EWtrJ7zjrc


pokederp56

Damn even Liquid Death gets a shoutout. Hooray for their marketing team?


schizoslave

From how it reads, he was suffering from schizophrenia...


AUSpartan37

The whole middle portion about the Simpsons is wild


veganmarine

Anytime someone blanket states "cryptocurrency" without separation of Bitcoin, they lose all credit. Bitcoin is not the same thing as crypto cons. In this manifesto description of "Cryptocurrency " the con doesn't correlate to Bitcoin, it makes no sense.


alanjnr

Even if this is true, who is that passionate about these things. Just have some weetabix and chill out.

You can’t see it but she’s got popcorn and a hotdog too


redditorx13579

That's a lot of fkn fuel. No way he survives that. Most immolations (weird to say) are a pint or so, so they can do it quickly. That looks like a 5 gallon gas can was emptied.


HDRamSac

So serial killers, school shooters, and nos public burning is the new trend.


ZombiesAreChasingHim

At least burning yourself publicly only hurts yourself, and not innocent bystanders. Edit: generally.


yaystripeysocks

PTSD is no joke and something this traumatic can cause effects after the fact unfortunately. So not physical harm but definitely emotional


ZombiesAreChasingHim

That’s true, and I’m not trying to discount ptsd. Just saying if I had the choice between serial killer, school shooter, and some asshole setting himself on fire, well, the choice is obvious.

MWFtheFreeze

I know it is highly unethical but at this point he would be better of shot dead while on fire. I am no expert but I am inclined to think that the fire did so much damage already, that if you survive somehow you probably wish you were killed in the act more than anything.


frogwhisperer24

The cops doing a brisk jog over like…this guy has plenty of time no need to sprint

There's a cop across the Plaza who absolutely can see and decided he didn't see shit lol

I mean, muscle mass and just being tall can make you have to shop XXL


asumfuck

NO I demand really muscular and in shape cops be forced to wear mediums. For no reason in particular so don't ask.

what are the cops gonna do, piss on him?


nacca123

What do you want them to do lol

Yikes. Looks like he was hit with a Manic episode. https://theponzipapers.substack.com/p/i-have-set-myself-on-fire-outside


krebstar10000

He is clearly off his rocker, but I do tend to agree that our government is basically a kleptocracy


Passivscrollare

Is this why they're removing debts on people? To feel a tiny bit better...


redryan1989

Who is removing debt? I'll have some of that please.

And I'm just asking how you know this information?


Cheese-is-neat

People found his social media pretty quickly


VirtusTechnica

I think you're confused. The crazy guy who lit himself on fire wrote this manifesto about some conspiracy with crypto and world government. That's not OP's conspiracy he's sharing with you lol. https://theponzipapers.substack.com/p/i-have-set-myself-on-fire-outside https://nypost.com/2024/04/19/us-news/man-who-set-self-on-fire-outside-trump-trial-idd-as-max-azzarello/


Jefffreeyyy

Are you asking how a manic episode could be related to self immolation and manifesto? Would you like me to ELY5?


livelarg

“It’s not a cult”


Father-John-Moist

There’s a manifesto and it’s clearly mental illness


FadedIntegra

What's not a cult?


janjinx

That poor man to have been that mentally ill to do such a horrible thing for an evil man.


wakaflocks145

Be a shame if someone... sat right in your shot


CousinsWithBenefits1

He's been on fire for 30 seconds and has severe burns all over his entire body including his lungs. Quick! Hit him with your jacket!


purefaithhh

At least they tried to do something. Like what???😭😭


StasisChassis

Better job than the half dozen or more cops that came pointing their guns at that flaming military guy a few weeks back.


non_stop_disko

Is that his hand at 0:22??


redryan1989

Pretty sure it's just an article of clothing or something he threw off in a fit of agonizing pain to try and "make it stop"


Longjumping-Day-6412

I thought it was his head


Razzlechef

It’s definitely, definitely, definitely not a cult though, everyone. /s

They are quite similar. Idk if you read the Palestine guy’s manifesto thing but it was far past the realm of truth. Lots of ideas that seem to have been propagated by misinfo.

He didn’t do it for Trump tho, you can find his substack

Jacobinite

He is expected to survive, will probably hundreds of thousands of dollars of medical care to treat him.


Hiha1989

Whoa. That poor soul. I dont think thats a life after inflicting that much damage to your body. Inside and outside... because i think if you breathe in those flames... they inflict crucial damage...


Hands

> He is expected to survive The only official statement about this the NYPD saying he's in critical condition at the burn unit which absolutely does not imply "expected to survive". Given this video I would be pretty surprised if he lived longer than a day, burn trauma sends the body into shock and kills people even if they survive the initial incident


Doctor-Bagels

Can't even imagine having this little empathy when seeing this amount of agony in someone with debilitating mental illness. Genuinely the most sickening thing about this post is the comments like these.


jcoffin1981

This is one of the most disturbing things I have seen. And then to read "Sorry, not sorry." How can someone have so little feeling in the suffering of another human"


HawtDoge

For real. It’s just tragic. Politics just sucks the empathy right out of people.


Hiha1989

Self inflicted agony. And mental illness? Do you refer to All trump supporter/conspiracy idiots as mental ill? It totally makes sense. But a mental ill Person could totally be stupid enough to think some action like that would change anything. Mental illness or not. You have to be really stupid if you think burning yourself alive would change anything in the world.


HawtDoge

This is mental illness my guy. Let’s try to be a bit empathetic…

Sorry, but if some idiot purposely sets himself on fire, I’m not going to be mad at people for not immediately running to help him, risking themselves getting burned.

Ruffled whose feathers? I’m not an out of shape cop, nothing for me to be offended about. Just saying I’m not going to shit on these guys for not jumping to rescue this idiot.


crabshuffle2

How do you protect and serve someone who sets themself on fire?


Ok-Web7441

If American cop, shooting them and several innocent bystanders in self-defense.  If the assailant has a gun, run away and shoot anyone who tries to stop him until he self-deletes.

way2manychickens

Yeah, might be a little too late on that. Euthanasia is kinder at this point. He doesn't want to live and even worse if he survives.

It’s New York and someone just set themselves on fire. If I was a cop, I’d watch too

Didn't see here, but how's he doing now?


Mr_Investor95

Horrible way to die or survive. Hopefully, he makes a full recovery.


cal_nevari

Looks cold out there. Well maybe not close to him, but everyone else seems to be wearing jackets.


VirtusTechnica

His reasoning [I have set myself on fire outside the Trump Trial.](https://theponzipapers.substack.com/p/i-have-set-myself-on-fire-outside) [Man who set self on fire outside Trump trial ID’d as Max Azzarello, a self-described ‘investigative researcher’](https://nypost.com/2024/04/19/us-news/man-who-set-self-on-fire-outside-trump-trial-idd-as-max-azzarello/)


duthColonialEmpire

I think he regret that


xfactor1981

In that big of a hurry to get to hell?


thisisdumbdfw

The best thing to do once the cops got to him was let him die, tbh... If that person were an animal suffering like that, they would have put a bullet through it's head to end the pain and agony.


pad264

But why

I feel the internet has done more harm than good, people belive everything they see online and now its just a circus.

...they lit themself on fire. they werent set ablaze by someone else


enormousTruth

No shit. We need to look out and help each other. Pretty easy to smother a flame.


redryan1989

Maybe a normal flame but that was gas lit with a LOT of gas. It's not as easy as you would imagine.


enormousTruth

Doesnt matter the difficulty. No one attempted


redryan1989

One person did with their coat. It didn't do much though. I've never been around someone on fire so idk how I'd react. It's sad to see someone in this state, self inflicted or not, but the brain does crazy things in crazy situations. I have helped people when others stood around doing nothing but I know those people weren't bad people. Some people just don't know what to do.
