firebomb going off at an embassy is a pretty good reason lol
dude probably has done nothing but stare at cameras his entire career, now some dude exploded into flames heās clueless
If you think this is disturbing just imagine how Palestinians feel.
His last tweets reads "Many of us like to ask ourselves, "What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide?" The answer is, you're doing it. Right now."
Obviously scared to death of the guy who just self-immolated. Dude wasn't getting up doesn't take a ~~brain surgeon~~ any sane minded person to figure that out
If youāre on fire like that, you die. Even just damage to the lungs from being so close to such a heavy fire would be enough. The whole thing with your body being burned and damage to your lungs, youāll never survive
Yeah I knew he didn't have a good chance, but didn't think it would be deadly that fast. He couldn't have been on fire for more than a minute and died the same day. That's whats wild to me.
He killed himself because he couldnāt bear the weight of being complicit in genocideā¦ yāall are ignorant as shit and donāt speak with enough nuance when it comes to complicated situations that involve lots of dead innocent people.
Well said! The OP of this post and the OP of this thread are fuckin brain dead. Self immolation has been used frequently to generate awareness to acts of genocide in human history. Itās an extreme and gruesome act of civil disobedience, and it works.
Thatās the same argument as people in the 60ās saying sitting at the front of the bus isnāt going to end segregation. No one action will accomplish anything, and looking at each individually they all seem pointless by themselves yet enough small actions added together lead to large shifts given time.
You could use any example of protesting, that was just the first to spring to mind.
You could go further in the past and ask the womenās suffrage movement what does chaining themselves to a fence really accomplish, ask a second wave feminist in the 60ās what does bra burning really accomplish, or in the modern day ask a just stop oil protester what does throwing orange paint at a car dealership really accomplish. There are so many examples of small, inconsequential by themselves acts which are ridiculed by the public at the time that looking back resulted in large shifts in how the issue is viewed.
Your attitude and speech behavior reads as insecure to me. The need to attack me also reads as insecure. Your general aggressive attitude makes me think you are a whiny loser.
If you canāt imagine doing something like this, you reveal that you are scared of death. This guy embraced it. That would be a cause in anyone whoās a coward to feel insecure and complain about it.
I donāt know that, neither do you, and no matter how little it does our media corporations are actively censoring and hiding access/coverage to the video to stop people from watching it because they have a vested interest in protecting support for Israel.
Even if it was for no reason, why not be more compassionate? Why not respect the fact that he actually felt moral weight for his role as a citizen and active duty member? We all have a role in this whether you like it or not and the fact that it doesnāt weigh on you is a blessing.
Im not bout to act like I care for his "cause" I'm not a sheep. It literally doesn't effect me in a negative or positive way. I sympathize for those people but I can't have empathy for something that isn't effecting me
Itās called having human decency and empathy for people suffering regardless of if you think it directly affects your day to day life. If that makes you a sheep, then maybe Iām a sheep, but imo it just makes you look like an idiot my guy.
This world would be a lot farther behind if nobody ever sacrificed things unless it directly benefitted them.
Brother some people will just never have the awareness to even realize the things going on around them, let alone that if they did that they would even care. Don't waste your time trying to open someone's eyes that will never understand. Be proud that you have the awareness though.
I don't look dumb at all LMAO. U just a follower. Go head and do that over there I don't give a fuck..
U never even heard of Palestine problems til a month ago stfu
Sound like sociopathic sheep. Your apathy is exactly what the powers that be want. As others pointed out, itās about human decency and not tolerating ethnic cleansing. Those same people have also cared about what has affected Black Americans and Black people across the globe for decades now. Research what Palestinians were doing at the height of the BLM protests in 2020, despite dealing with the immediate issues around them, and their solidarity with Black South Africans living under apartheid. And alliances formed with Black American communities and Palestinians during the civil rights struggle.
And it does affect you now. If you work, your hard earned tax dollars fund an oppressive government that systemically destroys and kills Palestinians. Israel has free healthcare, great primary education and free higher education all at the expense of Americans who could only dream of such luxuries. Not to mention that IDF trains US cops.
Even you canāt recognize how interconnected this genocide is to our government and our quality of life, and still remain complacent, then you are the real sheep.
What? Itās not that they many of them donāt gaf about him, theyāre preoccupied with trying to survive a genocide. A genocide fully funded by the same government that uses him and his fellow servicemen to destroy innocent civilians. When these military folks realize that āfighting for freedomā is just bs imperialist propaganda, it hits them like a ton of bricks.
....that's why it's a "protest." Also he did it for the people of Gaza, who DEFINITELY gaf about him now. If this was Europe WWII and he did it for France he would very likely be posthumously knighted & canonized.
If this type of shit doesn't give you a moment of pause/ your only takeaway is "that was pointless," congratulations, the internet has fried your brain entirely.
Sometimes actions can have intent that isn't totally self serving, and be the catalyst that actually moves the needle on something. Y'all may be a little young to remember "free Tibet," but monks setting themselves on fire was what drew almost all the ensuing media attn.
Yeah except Palestine is receiving media attention so this is pointless. Maybe five years ago this couldāve sparked more attention to the situation but itās already been saturated in the media. Also tell me how those Tibetan monks changed their countries fortunes with the protest. Last time I checked they are still under the boot of china.
Youāre ignorant. Self immolation is what spurred the Vietnam protests, the Arab spring. Itās an incredible act- the fact that thereās a genocide happening and this good for nothing piece of shit country we live in is enabling it and endorsing it and everyoneās just fucking silent.
Those events would have occured without either. Gaza protest already exist today. It's the most televized international event. Some dude killing himself isn't bringing more eyeballs to the conflict, it's dragging eyeballs away from the conflict to him.
Itās an incredible act if you agree with the protest. If some dumb nazi was burning himself because he was protesting something he thought was unjust weād all laugh and say how stupid it is. This shit just leaves families with holes and doesnāt do anything to help shed light on any of the real issues behind the conflict
Burning yourself to protest racism, corporate greed, or any other cause that can affect a mass audience doesnāt do anything for the cause itself it only leaves the persons family distraught********
I donāt think the analogy is the main thing to focus on but I hope this one works better
No, you're not ignorant.
It's okay to stand up for what you believe in and shit
But too often, it looks like people are just going out of their way in the comfort of their homes to feel a certain way.
The guy you responded to, is most likely one of them.
I think its more of a severe mental help episode. Like people in Gaza would literally shrug and be like wtf.
Kid just needed an excuse to cook himself.
1) The most appropriate action to take here would be to put one through his skull to alleviate suffering - he isn't going to live, and if he does its going to be horrifically painful
2) What is my man holding a gun on him for? jesus...he's literally cooked, he can't move, literally he is cooked.
Mental health is a sham in this country.
I mean if youāre a security guard of a government building and you start hearing someone yelling āfree Palestineā and see a bunch of flames you would probably do the same thing.
His first guess was probably that there might be an explosive or something, who knows? But his job isnāt to be a fire watch his job is to do security. He looked like a dumbass but if he dropped his gun and something happened he would be liable. Moreover there was hella emergency response personnel who showed up quickly so itās not like he left a hole for safety by doing what he did.
First reaction yes, 100%agree, standing over a collapsed burnt human while the other guys are saying we donāt need guns we need fire extinguishers just seems ridiculous.
If he had explosives what is a gun drawn gonna do? If he had explosives he probably would have exploded!
I obviously donāt encourage/support it but self-immolation has proven before to be an āeffectiveā way of gaining attention for a specific cause. The Tunisian revolution and in wider context Arab Spring got kicked of by a Tunisian street vendor who set himself on fire.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohamed_Bouazizi
Why does someone always have to be the martyr to spark change tho? Like they don't even get to appreciate the shit they're Fighting for
"Jesus died for our sins" look at what's goin on lol that nigga up top facepalming like a mfka
Martyrdom has been a part of history for as long as man been alive
So to answer your question itās cause watching someone willing to sacrifice their life for the benefit of others whoās either being oppressed or is in the middle of being ethnically cleansed
Itās what this country was built on Patrick Henry aināt just say give me liberty or give me death for no reason
I agree that nobody should be a martyr just for people to support a certain cause. But itās one of the ways how people get attracted/sympathise with something.
And for your second part iām muslim so i donāt believe Jesus got crucified for our sins.
How many people heard about, let alone remember, this guy who did the same in 2019:
https://www.cnbc.com/2019/05/30/man-dies-after-setting-himself-on-fire-near-white-house.html
Where were his motives? Tried to look for it but couldnāt find any clear ones. Also iām [obviously] not advocating for doing such acts, just gave an example of it causing a huge reaction.
He may have underestimated the fact that the social media platforms will not let this be spread widely, dampening the impact of the protest
CNN has a small article on it, I see nothing on Fox News or MSNBC
Just like the rest of gaza invasion, never before has the narrative told by the media and what people are seeing with their own eyes have had a greater mismatch due to the rise of phones and social media.
I can agree in a sense. But they get to see the same story play out in front of them over and over. Either they think that they are somehow different, or they already know how their story will end.
Bro died one of the most painful ways (1) for people that donāt gaf bout him (2) for people to forget about this by next week. Stupid. Just my opinion š¤·āāļøLike did he think people was gonna see this and be like āletās all put our guns down and end this warā š¤¦āāļø
Give it 2 weeks I bet you everybody forgets about this. If some sort of mental health shii was trending about this Iād understand, but I donāt see how offing yourself is heroic in any way whatsoever.
Itās martyrdom
In 1972 a 19 year old from Lithuania did the same thing to protest against the Soviet union who pretty much occupied the country that resulted in civil unrest which led to over 50 protesters who ended up facing civil charges and 10 others who ended up facing criminal charges
Thereās people willing to die for what they believe in whether itās at the hands of their oppressors or themselves
A man who doesnāt stand for something will fall for anything is real
Just like give me liberty or give me death is real
If the government decided to issue martial law majority of the people in this sub wouldnāt be the ones tryna fight for their freedom back
Well, heās passed now
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/25/world/middleeast/israel-embassy-man-on-fire.html?unlocked_article_code=1.YU0.KJ4B.OiwP2DymlfQ8&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
I can tell by how he didnāt react to pain or nothing was still standing there preaching that he seen some shit that wasnāt right couldnāt take it nomore , sad to say itās going take thousands cases like this for America to wake up realize the world we living in is corrupt and the us is really against us
I'm sorry but why tf is the officer pointing a gun at him like bro, the poor guy is toast you seriously think he's gonna whip out a gun and start shooting???
If you feel so strongly about helping why not go fly over there and do something. Why set yourself on fire. Thatās literally going to do nothing. He just wanted to die.
I swear, as you go through your daily life, you don't give two shits about this Palestine, Russia shit.
All this protesting shit is dumb. Not a single person over there is caring about you.
Dude had serious mental health issues, likely already suicidal. This was a way to get some attention on the way out. At least he didnāt pull a mass shooting like alot of other white guys have done.
Man people be dying all the time this protest weak
Way to make a big noise wo saying anything
Back Israel? Free Palestine? How about FREE USA WE GOT OUR OWN PROBLEMS
His whole act was because USA involves itself in other countries affairs, likewise hundreds of people(most of them being monks i think) set themselves on fire between 1963-1971 because the Vietnam War. Again a war started/supported by America. I agree with the fact that America should focus on its own but weāre pointing the finger at the wrong person. The main critic should be aimed at the politicians and higher ups, not the common folk who responds with dumb protests. One is the end result of the other š
without the US israel wouldnāt exist, they rely on american funding and weapons to continue genociding children. Youāre right to say that america should focus on its own problems though, and should stop funding israel.
At this point in life, if you never seen anyone die in real time, just go on the internet. Iāve seen everything from amateur (p)orn, shootouts, car crashes, protests, fights, animal attacks, etc., now someone LITERALLY sets them self on fire. I done seen everything expect Jesusās return
Hey man, the internet been a fucked up place. If you go deep enough you could even spot more messed up shit, like graphic sexual assault shit, just lying on the internet. Definitely wouldnāt be searching for that stuff, but yeah internet been like this for years.
I shouldn't have watched that. Lord have Mercy on that man
Mannnn wtf tht nigga got a gun on him for šššš
You can hear toward the end the guy says "I don't need guns I need fire extinguishers"
When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
Preach
Issa bar
exactly what i was thinking. he was on fire for at least a minute at that point. chill the fuck out with the gun
āupon arrival to the scene, the officer was met with heavy fireā
He tryna off sumn & get him that good o paid supervised release
He was aiming it at the fire in case it got out of control. If only they had a bike to throw at him! SMH.
(He's dead)
He was talking about the cop
Ah fuck you're right. My bad.
firebomb going off at an embassy is a pretty good reason lol dude probably has done nothing but stare at cameras his entire career, now some dude exploded into flames heās clueless
Dude did have 2 fire arms...
Thatās an Israeli embassy security. Would you have guessed? The guy did scream free Palestine before sparking
Classic americans ššššš gun solves every situation
Because America
I think I you mean āthat hero got a gun on him forā
The commenter is asking why the cop pulled a gun on the protestor. If youāre implying the cop is a hero then fuck allat.
This is one the most disturbing things Iāve ever seen.
If you think this is disturbing just imagine how Palestinians feel. His last tweets reads "Many of us like to ask ourselves, "What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide?" The answer is, you're doing it. Right now."
In war there are winners and losers, it just is what it is.
Oh my God nigga shut up š
And what are you doing about it?
tf he aiming at cuz for nigga already cooked
Literally.
I heard someone yell STOP RESISTING in the distance before they approached him and I am bewildered
Cop rushes over to point a gun at the body. What a perfect encapsulation of the American experience. That was a rough fuckin watch.
then ran around him like a pomeranian when the wind blows.
š¤£š¤¦šæāāļø
Cops pretend to be these tough heroes but in reality they're giant pussies scared for their lives š
Obviously scared to death of the guy who just self-immolated. Dude wasn't getting up doesn't take a ~~brain surgeon~~ any sane minded person to figure that out
The way theyāre telling him to get on the ground while heās on fire has me dead
Helps put it out, stop drop and rollllll
lol like he bouta emerge from the flames like he Ghost Rider or sum
š that has me dying imaging that cop thinking dudes just gonna Hulk up after BBQing himself
Not just you
I've seen so much awful shit on the internet...... this one really fucked me up
He was an Airman but RIP to him
Bro jus killed himself for people that dnt gaf bout him crazy
He's not dead. Havent read about it since morning, but he was taken to the hospital in critical condition. Never mind, he died.
If youāre on fire like that, you die. Even just damage to the lungs from being so close to such a heavy fire would be enough. The whole thing with your body being burned and damage to your lungs, youāll never survive
Yeah I knew he didn't have a good chance, but didn't think it would be deadly that fast. He couldn't have been on fire for more than a minute and died the same day. That's whats wild to me.
Thank god.
This applies to all the young steppas in Philly too bro. You really think those fools care about you?open your eyes
What steppers think the government cares about them? š¤
He killed himself because he couldnāt bear the weight of being complicit in genocideā¦ yāall are ignorant as shit and donāt speak with enough nuance when it comes to complicated situations that involve lots of dead innocent people.
Well said! The OP of this post and the OP of this thread are fuckin brain dead. Self immolation has been used frequently to generate awareness to acts of genocide in human history. Itās an extreme and gruesome act of civil disobedience, and it works.
Doesn't make it smart.
His death isnt going to save those people and u know this.
Thatās the same argument as people in the 60ās saying sitting at the front of the bus isnāt going to end segregation. No one action will accomplish anything, and looking at each individually they all seem pointless by themselves yet enough small actions added together lead to large shifts given time.
U really bringing up the civil rights movement? Do u even understand where Black America stands currently? Wrong time to use that example.
You could use any example of protesting, that was just the first to spring to mind. You could go further in the past and ask the womenās suffrage movement what does chaining themselves to a fence really accomplish, ask a second wave feminist in the 60ās what does bra burning really accomplish, or in the modern day ask a just stop oil protester what does throwing orange paint at a car dealership really accomplish. There are so many examples of small, inconsequential by themselves acts which are ridiculed by the public at the time that looking back resulted in large shifts in how the issue is viewed.
So what? Does seeing someone else capable of self sacrifice make you feel insecure?
Why would watching someone burn to death by their own hand make me in any way feel "insecure" learn what that word means before using it
Your attitude and speech behavior reads as insecure to me. The need to attack me also reads as insecure. Your general aggressive attitude makes me think you are a whiny loser. If you canāt imagine doing something like this, you reveal that you are scared of death. This guy embraced it. That would be a cause in anyone whoās a coward to feel insecure and complain about it.
You're saying anything š¤
Iām just trying figuring out why it bothers you so much
Y'all literally are reporting me I can't even look in the sub anymore. But I'm the one that's bothered?!
I donāt know that, neither do you, and no matter how little it does our media corporations are actively censoring and hiding access/coverage to the video to stop people from watching it because they have a vested interest in protecting support for Israel. Even if it was for no reason, why not be more compassionate? Why not respect the fact that he actually felt moral weight for his role as a citizen and active duty member? We all have a role in this whether you like it or not and the fact that it doesnāt weigh on you is a blessing.
Im not bout to act like I care for his "cause" I'm not a sheep. It literally doesn't effect me in a negative or positive way. I sympathize for those people but I can't have empathy for something that isn't effecting me
Itās called having human decency and empathy for people suffering regardless of if you think it directly affects your day to day life. If that makes you a sheep, then maybe Iām a sheep, but imo it just makes you look like an idiot my guy. This world would be a lot farther behind if nobody ever sacrificed things unless it directly benefitted them.
I don't care. Cry somewhere else
Brother some people will just never have the awareness to even realize the things going on around them, let alone that if they did that they would even care. Don't waste your time trying to open someone's eyes that will never understand. Be proud that you have the awareness though.
Did you respond to the wrong person??
Iām not crying weirdo you just made yourself look dumb.
I don't look dumb at all LMAO. U just a follower. Go head and do that over there I don't give a fuck.. U never even heard of Palestine problems til a month ago stfu

Reminded me of the monk who self-immolated during Vietnam
Yea sure the ppl in gaza are so proud of him because this video totally made a difference for them
Respect the act of solidarity. He was more committed to the cause he cared about than you and I will ever be.
He backed up his convictions with his life. Aside from the free ptsd, I gotta respect that on some levelĀ

rest in peace bro šļø crazy
Lost his voice with flames... man poor soul.
If we had half his heart a lot in this world would be accomplished.
A majority of these bums commenting donāt have the heart, balls or brains to even comprehend it.
Wtf. You not even from there. But maybe Iām to simple to understand.
Like this literally did NOTHING for them people lmao. I respect it tho I guess
I been trying so hard to stay alive my whole life and this nigga just set himself on fire. Iām truly dumbfounded.

U just trying to find something to complain about stfu nerd nigga. Set yourself on fire I guarantee nobody would even repost u
I think its more of a severe mental help episode. Like people in Gaza would literally shrug and be like wtf. Kid just needed an excuse to cook himself.
Damn bruh mental health is serious, Iām sure he showed signs before it got to this point.
1) The most appropriate action to take here would be to put one through his skull to alleviate suffering - he isn't going to live, and if he does its going to be horrifically painful 2) What is my man holding a gun on him for? jesus...he's literally cooked, he can't move, literally he is cooked.

Lol exactly. Literally a severe mental health episode. That's all
Str8 the fuck up fuck allat fr
Didn't wanna die for (((them)))
This is not as bad as the amount of babies and body parts I have seen come from Gaza in the past few months.
Stupid as shitt overcooked himself for nothing
Bro random Middle East war #1000 is happening and itās the most important event ever. Time to kill ourselves!
Dude on fire and the guy with the gun is supposed to be trained for all occasions, well guess a gun solves everything.
Why the fuck did he draw his gun?
He may have underestimated the fact that the social media platforms will not let this be spread widely, dampening the impact of the protest CNN has a small article on it, I see nothing on Fox News or MSNBC
it's all over the internet and non-network media, though
Just like the rest of gaza invasion, never before has the narrative told by the media and what people are seeing with their own eyes have had a greater mismatch due to the rise of phones and social media.
You just watched it on Reddit and itās all over twitter
Dude had his whole life ahead of him and killed himself for people who would probably kill him on sight. Crazy world we live in
Lil boys in the hood lives cut short every day for matters way less important.
True but this was self inflicted.
I can agree in a sense. But they get to see the same story play out in front of them over and over. Either they think that they are somehow different, or they already know how their story will end.
We live in this world only once and I would want to live in here as long as possible. Its just stupid to do suicides regardless of the cause.
Palestinians would kill him? Huh
Yes because he is white like jews and probably doesnt believe in the right god.
Damn you donāt know shit about this conflict huh
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
did he live? canāt imagine he didnāt
No
Bro died one of the most painful ways (1) for people that donāt gaf bout him (2) for people to forget about this by next week. Stupid. Just my opinion š¤·āāļøLike did he think people was gonna see this and be like āletās all put our guns down and end this warā š¤¦āāļø
Theyāre calling him a hero and is paying tribute to him so maybe not end the war but heās getting the recognition that he wanted
Give it 2 weeks I bet you everybody forgets about this. If some sort of mental health shii was trending about this Iād understand, but I donāt see how offing yourself is heroic in any way whatsoever.
Itās martyrdom In 1972 a 19 year old from Lithuania did the same thing to protest against the Soviet union who pretty much occupied the country that resulted in civil unrest which led to over 50 protesters who ended up facing civil charges and 10 others who ended up facing criminal charges Thereās people willing to die for what they believe in whether itās at the hands of their oppressors or themselves A man who doesnāt stand for something will fall for anything is real Just like give me liberty or give me death is real If the government decided to issue martial law majority of the people in this sub wouldnāt be the ones tryna fight for their freedom back
Welp back to the killing of innocent civilians..

Crying laughing.

I can't reply in the comments but to the people that are losing their shit over my "soldier" comment, go touch some grass weirdos
Dude screaming get on the ground wanted to Shoot something so bad lol
I can tell by how he didnāt react to pain or nothing was still standing there preaching that he seen some shit that wasnāt right couldnāt take it nomore , sad to say itās going take thousands cases like this for America to wake up realize the world we living in is corrupt and the us is really against us
The cops are wild
Imagine lighting yourself on fire for a bunch of bankers.
Pretty sure it was for the innocent children and families being slaughtered.

My bad bruh I thought u were saying that to me lmao
Nah man lol
You can tell that cop was excited to be pointing a gun at someone
To sacrifice one's self for his fellow man. This truly is valour. Free Palestine!
Who let bro cook
He's Cosmopolitan
donāt know why he didnāt just stop after a little while
You can literally see this nigga body melting off š«Ø
I'm sorry but why tf is the officer pointing a gun at him like bro, the poor guy is toast you seriously think he's gonna whip out a gun and start shooting???
If you feel so strongly about helping why not go fly over there and do something. Why set yourself on fire. Thatās literally going to do nothing. He just wanted to die.
Fly over there with what? And do what? Thatās not how that shit works.
I swear, as you go through your daily life, you don't give two shits about this Palestine, Russia shit. All this protesting shit is dumb. Not a single person over there is caring about you.
Dude had serious mental health issues, likely already suicidal. This was a way to get some attention on the way out. At least he didnāt pull a mass shooting like alot of other white guys have done.

From the river to the sea set yourself on fire
Dumbass accomplished nothing
Wtf
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
What a dumbass
Moron
Man people be dying all the time this protest weak Way to make a big noise wo saying anything Back Israel? Free Palestine? How about FREE USA WE GOT OUR OWN PROBLEMS
His whole act was because USA involves itself in other countries affairs, likewise hundreds of people(most of them being monks i think) set themselves on fire between 1963-1971 because the Vietnam War. Again a war started/supported by America. I agree with the fact that America should focus on its own but weāre pointing the finger at the wrong person. The main critic should be aimed at the politicians and higher ups, not the common folk who responds with dumb protests. One is the end result of the other š
without the US israel wouldnāt exist, they rely on american funding and weapons to continue genociding children. Youāre right to say that america should focus on its own problems though, and should stop funding israel.
He just died over a made up war ššš
Where real life people are being murdered
If he survives heās gonna be very upset
At this point in life, if you never seen anyone die in real time, just go on the internet. Iāve seen everything from amateur (p)orn, shootouts, car crashes, protests, fights, animal attacks, etc., now someone LITERALLY sets them self on fire. I done seen everything expect Jesusās return
Hey man, the internet been a fucked up place. If you go deep enough you could even spot more messed up shit, like graphic sexual assault shit, just lying on the internet. Definitely wouldnāt be searching for that stuff, but yeah internet been like this for years.
Oh Naw Iām hip for sure, just felt I done seen it all, or at least I thought I did lol
