The most important thing to take away is that Hearsay Evidence deserves top billing in this message and their copyright must always be respected.
- I too hope to die a horrible death one day so hearsay evidence can use my image for their messaging.
  
  I'm actually scheduled to die specifically for a Hearsay message this Tuesday!
  I'm their 10:45—had to schedule a month ahead!

I will no longer be complicit in genocide. Say it out loud.
- How does a voting us citizen abstain from genocide?
  
  You guys really need some anti-genocide options on your ballot. I'm gonna get called Antigen for this, aren't I?
  
  I guess by burning yourself

Fuckin hell. So young and a brutal way to go.

This is what they bring it down to:
An incident report filed by a Secret Service agent states that they “received a distress call regarding an individual exhibiting signs of mental distress outside the Israeli embassy.”

Looks like he was fighting for justice and not against it

He was my age...

So what happen to this guy?
- Air force member who self-immolated outside the Israeli embassy
  
  ... ya cuz that will definitely stop them.

I take it he was from Ohio?
- Seems he was from Massachusetts, but apparently had connections to several Ohio groups. I had to hunt a bit for it.
  "He seems to be associated with at least two Ohio-based anarchist organizations, Mutual Aid Street Solidarity and Burning River Anarchist Collective. Bushnell had the groups bookmarked on Facebook."

Couldn't he just refused? Why kill yourself?
- He was just a plane ride away from providing actual help with NGOs. The passion is remarkable but suicide is almost always a tragic waste of life.
