The Life & Death of Aaron Bushnell: Friend Says Self-Immolation Was a Demand for Justice
I mean, that's kinda obvious ain't it?
Some are trying to paint him as suicidal rather than this being the act of protest that it is.
Self-immolation is one of the absolute worst ways to end yourself. If he was in the army and just suicidal, he'd have way better options to do it.
The sad fact is that mentally stable people do not burn themselves to death in protest. He got too wrapped up in current events when he should have been spending time with family and friends (and probably doctors too).
Can it be both?
Not if you're NPR apparently.
Not as if he wasn't screaming "Free Palestine!" for as long as he could or anything
The pushback is right wing trolls posting screenshots about fictional leftist "infighting" from Twitter accounts that have zero likes or re-tweets. In reality those are either fake or just a few random people that nobody cares about.

Mentally ill people burning themselves to death in protest is a lot more dramatic than angry facebookposting but fundamentally accomplishes about the same thing. Sorry we lost a good airman for nothing...seek help if you're feeling suicidal folks.
What should he have done?
That's the only real crime you can think of, really?
Hmmm.
Very reasonable. Someone must be very proud of you!
You just made a complete sentence on the internet!
So just... Why, exactly?
You don't see the irony of a government comprised of people that had a genocide inflicted on them 80 or so years ago are now committing a genocide themselves? I'd think that someone didn't learn a valuable lesson, but you just think that it's cool or something?
It was for nothing.
I mean it made you make a comment. Regardless of your opinion, it still did something.
Rest in power.
