A man set himself on fire Friday outside of the trial against former President Donald Trump.
Footage captured Friday showed the moment a man set himself on fire outside of Trump’s trial in New York at around 1:35 p.m. local time. The individual was initially identified by outlets as Max Azzarello, an “investigative researcher” who claimed responsibility via a Substack post. Azzarello claimed he committed the act of violence against himself to show people that “we are victims of a totalitarian con, and our own government (along with many of their allies) is about to hit us with an apocalyptic fascist world coup.”
The authenticity of the post has not yet been verified though CNN reported the man was carrying a sign advertising a Substack account prior to setting himself alight.
