The U.S. Air Force member who set himself on fire outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C., in an apparent protest against the Israel-Hamas war has died, according to a U.S. official.

Next of kin notification is continuing, so the Air Force won’t release his name until 24 hours after the final notification is complete.

The District of Columbia Fire and Emergency Medical Service Department responded to a call about a person on fire outside the embassy just before 1 p.m. Sunday, and found the flames extinguished by the Secret Service’s uniformed division.

      The equivalent population of Tejas that supports and brutally murders for a terorristic warmongering nation? Hell yeah.

      I would very much prefer something clicks in their heads so they can see how horrible their acts are, then find an honest way of living and maybe even try and amend some of the harm they’ve done to humanity and the world.

      Oh! And you can also add cops, that would be the population of Illinois, for a total of ~42.5 mill or the equivalent of the population of California and Utah combined.
