That was fucking something. I’m like you I watch it because we owe it to him.

He kept screaming free Palestine over and over, past the point where his lungs had to be toast, and stayed standing so long.

When people perform stunts (stuntmen running around engulfed in flames for movies) the most critical part, aside from extinguishing the flames as soon as is necessary, is making sure those people have oxygen. The fire will consume the oxygen that you would otherwise breathe in.

At least one of them went “I don’t need guns, I need fire extinguishers!”

I read about this and saw the censored version last night. I nearly threw up seeing the uncensored version now. I feel similar to you.

And to all the shitheads on twitter downplaying this as “glorifying mental illness,” fuck the lot of them.

He specifically livestreamed the video and sent links to the livestream and archive to various journalists and anarchist press so that the video would be shared and viewed. Its a disservice for it to be censored and weird that person also watermarked it with their @

Because it is censored, more people will see it and more people will get the message so I disagree with you but I see your point.

literally the entire point behind this act is it being explicitly graphic, sharing the uncensored version quite literally goes against that. It’s almost as bad as censoring the message from the get go, except now we’re actively disrespecting his intention.

I’ve created a torrent for the video if anyone wants to help seed.

I really debated if I wanted to see this, I thought didn’t need to get what he did. Let me tell you watching it made me sick to the stomach and made it much much more real than just knowing what did in text.
