This. Is. Insane.
That’s not something we say every day; considering how insane the news is as of late, that’s really saying something.
A man set himself on fire outside of Trump’s trial courthouse earlier today. What makes this even wilder is it was caught live on Fox News.

From Townhall:
Moments after the final alternate jurors had been chosen on Friday afternoon, rounding out the 18-member panel set to hear the trial, Fox News Channel was live outside the courthouse for a report from the network’s Eric Shawn when he spotted flames shooting high into the air from the park behind his cameraman.
Shouting for the camera to turn before realizing the fire was not a trash can but a person, Shawn quickly called for a fire extinguisher or coats to smother the flames. Fox News quickly cut away from the feed to courtroom sketches of the Trump trial as Shawn continued calling for help.
At this time, we do not know who this man is, why he self-immolated, or what the story is but we will keep an eye on it and update as we learn more.
