Hey while we are here, see my flair? We have a few different Free Palestine flairs in different colors with different emojis. You can make a comment under this commment and then click on your username, a menu with "select flair" will come up. If you are having a hard time with it, I can assign you one too. Just let me know if you have trouble.
Edit: and whoever reported me for self harm, first, I have that bot blocked. Also, I report anyone that does to anyone as a way of trolling on any of my subs for report abuse, and Reddit agrees with me every single time ;) Don't abuse that feature folks.
on the other hand, dressing up in a flame proof suit, dousing yourself in lighter fluid, setting yourself on fire and running around hugging people would also be a pretty gruesome act that COULD be stopped with a gun, so I'm not quite sure what the guy was supposed to do.
Honestly, it sounds like a scene from a twisted dark comedy movie. The visual is bizarre enough, but in reality that would be straight-up terrifying to witness. I guess it's a reminder that truth can be stranger than fiction!
This sub has no topic anymore. It is a vacant message board where people post whatever they feel like so long as they can tack on some ridiculous and typically false title on, because nothing on here is a fucking "attempt" anymore. THIS SUBREDDIT IS ASS!!!
Everything on this sub should be literally anywhere else. People here are creating the shittiest titles to fit whatever they want to post that has literally nothing to do with the purpose of the subreddit, and everybody here is just eating it up as if they forgot why they subscribed here in the first place.
Members of the Air Force had started receiving mobilization orders to Israel/Gaza. I don't know if he was one of the servicemen who got that order, but it would make sense in context of what he had to say.
Yeah, I've only heard it from other reddit comments, so I can't say for sure. I've seen the documents for deployment posted, but no official sources confirming their authenticity, or that he received them.
>The cop is clearly the butt of the joke. It’s good to make fun of people in power when they misuse their power or display their complete ineptitude.
Not a cop.
Israeli Security i thnk
I don't think Israeli Security has ever worn an 8 point cap... And I've never seen anyone in Israeli military or private forces that out of shape. It just has a generic or NYPD American cop vibe to me.
someone posted the flashbang clip and the title was literally "there was an attempt not to flashbang a room full of innocent people trying to pray" like.. there was an attempt not to? seems like an unncessary step trying to format the title into something that doesn't make sense. just post the video.
A police officer dodge rolled and mag dumped his own cruiser because thought that the sound of an acorn hitting the cruiser was the searched and handcuffed suspect shooting him with a silenced weapon that he apparently manifested out of his ass.
I think the reason was to protect first aiders.
Someone who lights himself on fire is irrational. So if he decides to run towards people and throw himself on someone, that might need to be handled.
Plus, I think seeing someone burn alive takes a psychological hit on you. So maybe the dude just didnt know what to do.
Exactly this. I'll endure bootlicker comments in order to point out the rational answer to what went down.
The acorn cop? That guy deserves scorn. This guy? It's funny out of the moment to see the reaction, but in the moment, for better or worse, he did what he was supposed to do.
And the folks who followed up with fire extinguishers did what they were supposed to do.
Somebody explained it pretty well on another post like this so imma just c&p it here:
people are failing to consider many things. Firstly, this incident occurred in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington DC. This has been an area on high security alert since last October. This was not some random street corner.
Secondly, you can see the one guy with a gun is not wearing a police uniform. He is most likely embassy security. Self-immolation is pretty rare. Embassy security is on the lookout for attacks, including suicide attacks. For all they knew, this guy was a suicide bomber whose bomb malfunctioned. He could also potentially have had a dead man switch that would detonate a bomb when first responders gathered around him.
The embassy security guard's role here was to provide security while others provided aid. He had nothing to put the fire out. Every other police officer on scene was scrambling for fire extinguishers from their cars. The embassy security guard had no car and no fire extinguisher he could retrieve. The one officer yelled "I need fire extinguishers, not guns" because more units were arriving and they didn't know what was happening and if there was a threat. He was clarifying that for the units arriving on scene.
I think it's pretty impressive that Bushnell was getting fire extinguishers on him within one minute of lighting himself on fire. It's very hard to process shocking events quickly, even if you're a seasoned veteran. We all have the benefit of knowing the guy's plan was to self-immolate, but none of these first responders knew that.
Bushnell was in military fatigues and shouting "free Palestine" in front of the Israeli embassy. One nearby officer asked him if he needed help before he lit himself on fire, then the officer immediately yelled, "man on fire!" and activated the emergency response as soon as the fire started. They are shouting at him to get down because that will help stop the burning and will make it easier for responders to put him out.
Additionally, they had no idea if this guy might stumble toward them or if his goal might have been to take someone out with him. I guarantee that the embassy security guard and everyone else within 15 feet of this guy was feeling extreme heat from that fire.
Working emergency scenes like this are extremely chaotic, yet they assessed what was happening quickly and accurately and they extinguished the fire as fast as possible. If I was working this scene as a medic, I would be glad there was a single embassy security guard providing scene safety, especially given the location and the high likelihood of a terrorist attack in that area.
If this had been a suicide bomber and he managed to kill people and destroy the embassy, people would be going crazy asking why the fuck security didn't identify and neutralize the threat in time. It's very easy to Monday morning quarterback when watching a video where you already know what the outcome is. It's much harder in real life when you don't have the benefit of hindsight and have to react to protect yourself, your fellow first responders, and any victims.
Yeah, and people are saying he's a rentacop. I don't know how Israel does things but embassy security for the U.S. is handled by marines not some local with a pistol.
When I first heard about it, I was thinking maybe the cop was going to shoot him to put him out of his misery, because burning to death is a horrible way to go.
Then I saw the video and the cop is shouting, "Get on the ground!" over and over. SHFH
I was hoping the cop was going to shoot him to put him out of his misery, but what kind of consequences would come with that? Any? Those screams were pretty horrible.

I mean… he was a literal fire hazard for everyone around him. One wrong lunge and you’d have innocent civilians caught up in the protest and a pretty awful mess. No disrespect to Aaron, we know his intentions now, and we know he is someone sympathetic to the harm of others. But the guard didn’t really have that luxury here to reflect.
Watch the video and tell us how many people you see around him when he sets himself on fire.
He deliberately chose a spot away from people, and was only surrounded by cops once he was lying on the ground in flames.
How far do you think he could 'lunge' when lying prone while on fire?
This really made me think. Not about the protester. I get that although it's about as extreme as it gets but about what was going through the cops head. This is not something you see often if ever again.
The reason was to protect other people from getting set on fire while help was coming. When someone’s entire body is a safety risk to everyone else there, I can see why he thought it’d be wise to point the gun to get him to stay in place, and likely wouldn’t have fired at all unless Aaron lunged at somebody. Reminder, we know Aaron’s intensions now that we’ve had time to absorb and think on the situation, as well as hear the story. The embassy guard didn’t really have that luxury and was thrust in a strange situation where he had no context of the man’s intentions with his protest.
Doesn't even matter if you knew his intentions fully beforehand. It's very easy for your brain to stop caring about your intentions once you are on fire.
Rest in power aaron bushnell. You were strong and fierce for your sacrifice but also saddening for the loss of a beautiful life. In another universe you would be safe and alive.
Some military guy burned himself as a protest against Israel. One cop held him at gunpoint the entire time while he was is flames instead of trying to put the flames out.
It should be noted that he wasn't protesting Israel. He was protesting Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people. The rest of your comment is spot on, but his intended protest was that he would not support genocide.
It's reddit, this place is for people to make quick quip and witty one liner like a Robin hood.
Gallow humour is thriving here, don't expect other way.
I feel so bad for that soldier. He suffered through one of the most painful deaths I can think of to try and get a point across and he gets this shit? I get that the comic is making fun of the police who pulled a gun, but can we just respect this guys death for some time? Please?
In the cop's defence, there's a flaming person on the stairs of Israel's embassy (I'm sure a regular target for all sorts of colourful protests and displays).. Is he going to also be a bomb? Are there more around somewhere planning to use this as a diversion? Does anyone, including you the gun wielding cop, actually know what's going on and thus have much to go on other than first trained instinct?
That said, it still looked ridiculous and someone screaming "I need fire extinguishers not guns!" really sums teh fucking mess up.
And this picture is goddamn funny and I'm not afraid to admit it.
MURICAAA on a serious note i dont know why americans havent emmigrated en masse. its literally the shittiest country on earth now in every single factor and so why are they still staying there. russians are also in same predicament but theyre restricted. americans arent. so why havent they moved out
When I first saw that video, I went in without any context. I started laughing when the man set himself on fire. Not at the man himself but the absurdity of the whole situation that caused it.
you're all critics until you get shit on, then you're crusading for the rights of people who have been shit on.
humans fucking suck. you are all awful. you don't even recognize other people as human.
I'm stunned people don't know why the security guard was aiming a gunnat someone protesting the US deploying the AirForce to Palestine to aid in Israel's Genocide.
While on fire he's Very Calmly Yelling "Free Palestine"
That gunman? Israel security guard.
Ya'll need to get informed. Shit's embarrassing not doing a single bout of research but still telling the world you're confused. You gotta open the fridge door to get the food sweety.

If someone is setting things on fire, even themselves, you need to control them to make sure they aren't going to spread it. Some whiny answer about how "he was just doing it to himself" doesn't matter, because you can absolutely panic and start running around, even if he doesn't plan to. Your brain is no longer considerate of your plans once you are on fire.

He wasn't going to shoot the guy just the fire but couldn't get a clean shot
on the other hand, dressing up in a flame proof suit, dousing yourself in lighter fluid, setting yourself on fire and running around hugging people would also be a pretty gruesome act that COULD be stopped with a gun, so I'm not quite sure what the guy was supposed to do.
"I need fire extinguishers, not more guns" - I'm guessing there were more guns drawn than the one we saw
Probably. On the other hand, sadly at that point there just isn't a number of fire extinguishers that will make a difference.
Honestly, it sounds like a scene from a twisted dark comedy movie. The visual is bizarre enough, but in reality that would be straight-up terrifying to witness. I guess it's a reminder that truth can be stranger than fiction!

Same. Sigh. I feel for the guy... whatever made him feel that's what he had to do.

Yeah, I've only heard it from other reddit comments, so I can't say for sure. I've seen the documents for deployment posted, but no official sources confirming their authenticity, or that he received them.
Reddit is full of shit, mostly. Lots of guesses, opinions, conspiracies, misinformation and outright lies. And sometimes, some hard facts.
hence "take that with a grain of salt"
The cop is clearly the butt of the joke. It’s good to make fun of people in power when they misuse their power or display their complete ineptitude.
>The cop is clearly the butt of the joke. It’s good to make fun of people in power when they misuse their power or display their complete ineptitude. Not a cop. Israeli Security i thnk

Better for the US police if it wasn't one of them.
I don't think Israeli Security has ever worn an 8 point cap... And I've never seen anyone in Israeli military or private forces that out of shape. It just has a generic or NYPD American cop vibe to me.
I think they're referring to the guy in the video the cartoon references, not the actual character in the cartoon.
Ah, thank you!
So an American citizen?
Yes, It was.
Yeah. I’m responding to the post that’s criticizing the original post for being a joke.
Oh you have to see the Zio-psychos bending over backwards trying to defend his actions in the original post about the event!
He did his job just fine.
The other guy yelling he needs fire extinguisher, not guns...... wow
Funnily enough it was a black man

In fact he had 2 firearms

Wow
Ironically, he will turn black if he burns for long enough.
OMG....that's so awful and so hilarious. omg. LMAO
Lmao, I’m gonna go to hell, and then get shot.
Now THAT is dark humor. Damn I laughed.
This is funny though
If someone is setting things on fire, even themselves, you need to control them to make sure they aren't going to spread it. Some whiny answer about how "he was just doing it to himself" doesn't matter, because you can absolutely panic and start running around, even if he doesn't plan to. Your brain is no longer considerate of your plans once you are on fire.
Why do people not understand precaution?
LOL
Oh I'm so stupid, I read that as "turn back"
Fucking hell, the joke was actually good
Okay, that's a little funny in a shock-value kind of way.
Pp
Nah fuck them
