Direkten prenos šokantnega dejanja
Med neposrednim prenosom je voditeljica Laura Coates opisovala kaotične prizore, ko so plameni obdali moškega. “Imamo človeka, ki se je dobesedno zažgal. Opazujemo več požarov, ki izbruhnejo okoli njegovega telesa,” je dejala Coates. Prizori so bili pretresljivi in so takoj sprožili razprave o varnosti in motivih za to dejanje.
Ko se je peljal da bi izvedel to dejanje, se je na poti do tja tudi snemal. Posnetek si lahko ogledate spodaj:

Kdo je in zakaj je to naredil?
Max Azzarello, znan na Instagramu pod imenom “@dipshit_secrets”, je bil opisan kot levičarski radikalec. Njegovo ekstremno dejanje je bilo interpretirano kot protest proti tistemu, kar je verjel, da je fašistični prevzem sveta. Moški je umrl.
Guy who lit himself on fire at the Trump trial was a leftist schizo who thought he was protesting a fascist coup
Similar to the guy who chopped his dad’s head off. It’s not really a left v right thing so much as hyper partisanship and the internet have created a paranoid style… pic.twitter.com/3FCbA1URTJ
