UnsteadyOwl 04/19/24 2:38:33 PM #34:	https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/04/19/trump-hush-money-trial-live-updates/#link-JSV4OEPZHJAEXO626XMZZI2U24 From the Washington Post: Julie Berman, 56, a Manhattan resident who came to the plaza to photograph protesters, saw the man set himself on fire. He had a sign saying something about Trump and Biden working together to orchestrate a coup, she said, and another one alleging some kind of Ponzi scheme. She said he told her to get back, then doused himself with liquid, threw some fliers in the air, then doused himself again before flicking a lighter and lighting himself on fire. She said she was about 15 feet away. I thought it was water at first, she said of the liquid the man doused himself with. It happened so fast and took my mind so long to catch up. She had approached him to take a photograph, because photographing people around Trump events has become a hobby for her. Before she could ask him to take a close-up, he yelled at her repeatedly: Get away! He appeared to be under age 40, she said; he reminded her of protesters from my Greenpeace days. She said she did not wait to watch him burn to death, as others did. Also, reportedly he burned for about a minute before someone got there with a fire extinguisher. The police arrived shortly afterward. The man is reported to be in critical condition. --- "It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life." <cite>UnsteadyOwl posted [p:979995928] in Protestor ...
