Man Sets Himself on Fire to make Political Statement

Comments

Joe Geto

Oh my god I was thinking about this video, it’s a shame this was buried over the span of a year and a half, no news reports or anything..dude just disappeared..

Austin Scherer

I remeber seeing this. After becoming a burn victim several months later I dont fuck with anything hot. I skipped the event video but the explanation of his life and stuff was interesting.

edgaralanfrog

That poor kid, and those in the community he was raised in that suffered. My heart breaks for him, all he wanted was to help people and make sure other people knew others around the world were suffering. I hate that he felt this was the way to go to get the message across, I wish he had, had more help or someone or something to guide him through life that didn’t involved going to extreme measures. He must’ve felt so helpless being unable to do what he felt was necessary to help others out of their own struggle.

Robert

Wow, you gave a personal remark. I don't think I've ever heard you do that before

TheCentralScrutinizer

Absolutely incredible. Thanks for showing this. And yet nothing has changed and his horrific suicide has been in vain. Nobody knows who he is or that this even took place. Im pretty up on politics and what's really going on, and I've never heard about this incident.

It's simultaneously amazing and disturbing that completely engulfed in flames, he stood for 45 seconds before finally collapsing.

The genocide of the Palestinian people have been going on since the 1940s. To say that this began on October 7th is a propaganda point made by Zionists looking to maintain the status quo and hide from the world the much bigger picture of their own atrocities. I get that Hamas is not an organization to necessarily look up to but to call them a terrorist organization is a bit of a stretch. The hostages that they have taken have nowhere near experienced any torture or malnourishment that the entire false state of Israel has put on the Palestinian people that it resides over and steals land from for over 70 years and counting. They are more of a resistance group in response to this modern day genocide and they are tired of being colonized on their own land. I'm not sure where you stand politically with all of this but we can agree to disagree if you side with Israel. Given all the footage that we have available online of the continued suffering of Gaza, it's very hard to believe that anybody siding with Israel or even using language to soften the blow of what Israel has done to Gaza will not also deny the absolute grip Israel has as a terrorist state on the world, backed by the U.S to occupy over the Middle east. They are colonizers and do not belong there and we all know it. Please understand that no matter what a singular group does, the entire civilian population of men women and (mostly) children should've never been caught in the crossfire. Who is more dangerous to the world, a nation of Occupied Forces with all of the power, money and weapons that the USA supplies with our tax dollars or is it a singular 'terrorist' group? Food for thought

Christian

Holy fuck that might’ve been the craziest video yet

Floating Shopping List

That doesn't sound like a community he was raised by. It sounds like a cult.

Fear Unraveled

This is such an interesting case, I wasn't aware of the community he was raised in. So fun fact, I've started my own channel where I talk about similar cases, and I actually thought about covering this myself. I guess you beat me to it, haha. If you remember, I'm the one that made that Horror Stories parody years ago, and I decided to take it up a notch, I suppose. Just want to thank you for your consistent quality content, and inspiring me to make my own. Stay awesome 👍

jakenastysnake

Gee… Why was this guy so hot under the collar?

Evan Aldag

I think "terrorist group" was certainly a poor choice of phrasing but the brief geopolitical context presented in the video was pretty objective and didn't really give the impression that he's pro-israel (to me).

Daniel Chang

Better safe than sorry, I guess

Ted Gonzalez

Agreed, HS. Such a waste of life only because his ideals were brought up by the wrong people.

Ted Gonzalez

I think he's done it once or twice before, but yeah, it's rare. I hope he does it more often. Always nice to hear HS's own thoughts on the stories he does.

Conan Ng

Thích Quảng Đức would be proud. At least this far leftist was a determined activist dedicated to his cause and only costed himself without hurting anyone else, unlike hypocritical social justice warriors. Aaron Bushnell did this because he anyway was likely too mentally ill to continue living.

Dnuggs

When I saw the notification I thought this was going to be a video about Thich Quang Duc

librarybarry__

I thought it was gonna be about the guy who set himself on fire outside of Trump's bribery trial.

Lucas Dancs

I appreciate your work, love the content.

Mason K. Lutz

I thought so too at first. I even thought of it before the video started.

Emily Bland

Good point, I say that only because remember seeing a post way back before I knew much about this conflict and he made the point that we should stand with Israel, I'm not sure if that post is still up here or if his views have changed. I hope they have but at the end of the day I can agree to disagree since I'm a huge fan of this channel and political agendas aren't a central topic. I just feel very strongly given all the footage I've seen of all the murdered children day after day in Gaza. If you have Instagram, I urge you to check out the page eye.on.palestine it's rough to see but the world must know the truth.

HorrorStories

One of the many reasons why I prefer to cover older stories.

HorrorStories

I wish he had better guidance as well. It's a shame he thought this was the best option.

HorrorStories

I didn't hear about it either until the story came up on the list.

HorrorStories

Yeah I wasn't sure if that was intentional or if his legs locked up from fire damage or what?

Ethan Schaeffer

That’s because the media was oddly quiet when they realized that this crazy motherfucker would burn himself alive over a leftist view he has with Palestine and Israel. It was against their narrative seeing as most radical leftists are mentally ill people in society. So rather than talking about or acknowledge it, the MSM would rather bury this story without anyone remembering it.

HorrorStories

Hamas is a terrorist organization. They steal the aid money from the Palestine civilians and use it to buy weapons from Iran, China, North Korea, Russia, and their allies. There was a woman in Palestine who was in charge of the money being used for children in a hospital and Hamas killed her because she would not give the money to them. They use the men, women and children of Palestine like cattle that they have the right to abuse and murder. So you think that the United States and Israel are the terrorists while Hamas is a resistance group defending the people of Palestine? That is very interesting, I'm curious about your background now. You claim that Hamas is not an organization to look up to, what have they done to make you say this?

HorrorStories

I'm curious about the protocol on that one as well. They were too close to be worried about a bomb threat so Idk. Kinda feels like something I'd see in South Park.

Ethan Schaeffer

I do agree with you that Israel is no different than want Hamas did in October 7th. The IDF are very brutal of what they are doing against the civilians in Gaza and how they are letting them starve. But I also disagree with your stance how Hamas is more of a resistance group than terrorists. I understand your frustration of how Israel has committed atrocities against the Palestinians for many years. But don’t act like Palestine are the only victims in the Middle East and Hamas are the saints in the war. I literally seen clips made by Palestinians of Hamas killing their own people that suspected of being Israel sympathizers or against their status quo. Some of the hostages were killed by either Hamas or the IDF as friendly fire. The Palestinians despised their own government for being radical islamists and forcing their women and children to fight in a war that they didn’t cause or participated in. This doesn’t mean I support Israel but I don’t support Hamas as well. I want the bloodshed between the Israelis and Palestinians to stop. Both Hamas and Netanyahu’s government are the true monsters that started the Gaza War.

HorrorStories

Hey, it's good to see ya. I was actually wondering how you were doing not too long ago. You don't know how happy I am to hear that you pursued the channel. I always felt your video was well done even though it was a parody. Post the link and I'd be happy to subscribe.

Emily Bland

I'm not really here to defend Hamas, but rather the people of Palestine and to point out that Israel and the U.S.A are the real terrorists of the world. What I'm curious about, where do you stand in all of that? I'm not really seeing anything from you condemning Israel's atrocities.

HorrorStories

It's creepy how some applaud his death so they can stand on their soapbox and scream their political views.

Robert

Understandable

Adam

I’ve always wondered how long it takes for the person to pass out in situations like this. I’d imagine they can’t breathe from the fire & smoke. Then they pass out.

Mr. Dillinger

why was he pointing a gun at him?

HaydenTCEM

RIP Aaron Bushnell. Free Palestine 🇵🇸 , Abolish Israel

DanTheMan

Hey HS. I don't know if this case has been requested before, but I think you should cover the Chris Benoit story. It's a pretty well known case and there's a lot of information to dive into. Thanks for the videos as always :)

librarybarry__

The chance it could have been a failed bombing attempt, sometimes something like a suicide vest fails, causing the person to catch on fire instead.

Freqazoid

Oh heres an interesting one since you frequent celebs. Can you cover the creator if yugioh who died while trying to save three people from a tsunami? Kakuzi tragedy was pretty recent years too

Burrski

Yeah and shooting his smoldering corpse would’ve prevented that /s

Burrski

He did this because of the genocide in Gaza. Did you not hear him?

Bryan A.

Insane how some people are applauding this act. He was a caring person who didn’t deserve to die such a painful and horrific death. Rip Aaron Bushnell.

Deidre Emerson

It's such a shame the society in which we live made him think this was his only solution. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Calum Clow

I have a friend in Palestine who had to evacuate her home and leave absolutely everything but her cell phone behind. She had to walk over 5 miles in the summer weather with guns pointed at her by Israeli soldiers the entire time. What Israel has been doing to the Palestinian people is completely inexcusable and worse than anything Hamas is doing to its own people. Absolutely infuriates me that my tax dollars go towards supporting that apartheid state.

Calum Clow

Very well said. The response of the Israeli government and Netanyahu is akin to ethnic cleansing, the most extreme of war crimes, and the response of an apartheid state. At this point I have no sympathy for the state of Israel as they have murdered so many civilians (women and children). FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸

HorrorStories

After their side lost World War I, the Ottoman Empire fell apart. The British came in and controlled the territories, that's what happens when your side starts a war and then you lose it. When Hitler was in power, he was allies with a popular Muslim leader from Palestine named, Hajj Amin al-Husayni. Husayni lived in Berlin from 1941-1945 and was trying to get Hitler to remove the Jewish people from Palestine. Jewish people have suffered genocide in many Muslim run countries because antisemitism is a root cause to these holy wars that never end. In 1947 the British handed Palestine off to the UN, who then came up with a plan to make territories. Palestine was given a larger territory than Israel but they refused to share the land with Jewish people so they started a war. Israel defended itself and then kept the territories that they claimed in this war after it ended. In the 1980s the first Intifada happened which was a violent riot that took place in Palestine. By the early 2000s there was yet another intifada that was even more violent than the first and Hamas was elected as the leaders of Gaza. Israel put up the walls to protect themselves from violent antisemitic extremists that terrorize their own people. I see women in Israel wearing bikinis while giving their opinions in interviews on a public beach, meanwhile Hamas forces women to wear hijabs in Gaza. You are running damage control for the only terrorists in this situation, that is Hamas and their allies. I would also like to point out that Jordan was part of the Ottoman Empire and they cooperate with Israel to remove terrorist threats. I do not believe that Israel is so unruly that they can't be reasoned with. Hamas is the one that breaks every ceasefire like cowards with no honor. They don't not care that people in Palestine are dying. Also, Islam is the second biggest religion in Israel.

Chaos ZT

Nobody's going to point out how this guy, aside from yelling "Free Palestine" a couple times, didn't make any agonizing screams or sounds whatsoever from literally being burned alive? Did he take PCP or something before-hand? It's strange because whenever I've seen people get burned to death in movies, I always thought their half-assed screams didn't do reality any justice. And yet, this guy did nothing.

Cups' Gay Steel Mill

I've never seen this video in full before and I'm appalled that one officer kept pointing his firearm not only at Aaron who was already clearly dead, but also towards a puddle of *gasoline*. Had he have shot he would've caused a bigger mass casualty because the spark could have reignited the puddle next to him. Jesus

Freqazoid

The U.S Airmen. 100% limp book smarts 0% man streets

Freqazoid

Theres evil on both sides and to take stances pro one is idiotic

kclo4

Poor dude damn.

Hunter Wakelin

Honestly that’s insane he was able to stand on fire like that

The Final Boss

Are you fuckin retarded? Because this had 0 effect on his life. If he got off the internet he wouldn’t even know or care about a war that far away. I get he was active duty, but it’s not like he was deployed there. So point it, it was an excuse to over compensate for the life he thought he lacked (hence why he did this) but was desperate for people to remember him. Pathetic, really.

Jackson Wren

Oh god you can see his skin melting off and dripping off him…

Shadoe

What you on about watch the video again you can clearly hear him 😂

Frodo pie da hobbit

They say burning alive is the worst way to go, omg that crazy. R.i.p

Libby Diaz

the fact he stood for that long and didnt break character while dying was insane

Dillon Andrews

Rest In Peace Aaron Bushnell and Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Serena Shugars

If you all look in the Bible and revelations, it literally says Israel is the synagogue of Satan poor kid I hope he rest in peace

anna

you don't think relations between america and israel affect american citizens? if you get off social media, the high cost of gas prices and billions of american tax dollars spent on a war will just cease to exist? people who choose blissful ignorance are lambs to the slaughter.

Maverick

Surely there’s a better way of protesting right? 🤦🏽‍♂️
