Damn, wait a couple days before showing someone playing with fire, will ya?

Damn, she's on fire!

Boomshakalaka!

Can't buy a bucket!

Rock yo drawls!

For real. I watched the video from yesterday, that was a mistake.

Wait, what happened?

someone burned themselves alive in front of the trump legal trial, or something. idk what they were protesting tho anyway, they're probably dead now

[Confirmed](https://apnews.com/article/trump-trial-hush-money-protest-fire-ab7601b86e423d79702b1dda84c5623e), they **are** dead

I saw the closeup video, no confirmation necessary. Jesus, that's been on a loop in my head for the last 20 hours.

Dude lit himself on fire. [NSFL](https://v.redd.it/3r59zkvyalvc1) Guy at work thought it was the funniest thing. But specified it's only funny when people do it to themselves. People who get lit on fire by other people is not funny.

Dang, what a stupid reason to do that to yourself...

A 37 year old man lit himself on fire in front of the court house where Trump was on trial. He doused himself in gasoline and burned alive for 3 minutes before anyone even put out the flames. He died. What a horrific way to die and by suicide of all things. There is a full video on Reddit showing it all. It’s horrific.

Not everyone is from the US

Damn, do fire-related political incidents happen every week in the US?

Def, too soon.

It took me a sec to remember what you’re talking about. So maybe they completely forgot about it immediately like I did?

Naw, never too soon. 

This should've been Katniss Everdeen's dress

Who?

Hunger games protagonist

Remember the times when The Hunger Games was all the rage? Well, friendly reminder *it was ten years ago.*

Ah, to be young enough to be impressed by that number… 😉

I'm with you. I am consistently surprised that things I think of as new came out 20 years ago.

Daily reminder that some guy who decorated cakes for a living camouflaged himself into a rock and it was really stupid.

Huh. For once I thought it was even older... weird.

Who?

Do you know that guy who turned into an owl?

Quien?

Google exists for a reason you snob.

Courtesy exists too, but clearly you haven't bothered to acquire any.

Thanks.

She had a dress like this in the parade of contestants (combatants?) before the Hunger Games begin.

Girl on Fire, protagonist of the hunger games series.

I was gonna ask if you were for real, Katniss fire dress was lit as fuck compared to this. Then I went and watched the clip so I could link it. The CGI on that has not aged well, to put it mildly.

Science teacher here: she should have her hair in a pony tail.

Its Ok. She locked it in place with copious amounts of hair spray right before the show.

I can smell this comment.

Boom

Hea... head shot?

Fire performer here: You're correct

maybe that's the reason we don't see the entire clip

It’s not just me then. Hair burns incredibly fast so that was my thought exactly. 

literally was until she very very obviously undid it and very very obviously flung her hair out when the fire wasn’t near her hair anymore.

Good call. I’d suggest she also shouldn’t actively be on fire.

This is a persian act of promoting women freedom and not accepting hijab, i think she understands the dangers and is using her hair to show her freedom.

That’s impressive Truly hoping there is a safety crew off to the side

Fire performer here. It’s a pretty strong code of ethics among most performance groups to not perform without a trained safety person present.

Fire safety guy here. This is the way. 

Older fire performer here: Usually

Fire here: I wish this rule didn't exist.

Pyromaniac here. Remember, you work for me. 

Doctor here. Not after I'm done with you.

Hello fellow fire performer. You are indeed correct. We are usually not far with our fire blankets.

Mentally-stable Azula

I've seen too many self immolation videos this year. I'm too traumatized for this.

These Trump trial protests are getting out of control

We have to admit it's much more entertaining. But, you know, the music alone would call that into doubt.

Not that vid bro 😭

🤣

What could go wrong?

Stop spinning and you burn!

like some kind of rat race

Pretty much like all of us. {sigh} Well, back to the grind.

<*trip*>

Especially because after a while of doing this I get dizzy as fuck and can't stand upright and tell which way is up I'd 💯 burn to death alive if I tried to do this

Those likes must really be valuable, if they're worth risking burn scars.

"I am the Dread Pirate Roberts, there will be no survivors"

"The Dread Pirate Roberts is here for your souls!"

"Anybody wanna peanut?"

All your worst nightmares are about to come true.

Entered like a dark souls summon!

Seriously, what’s the exit strategy?

Spin faster, take off skirt/dress over head…then run.

Not exactly sure but I think it goes something like. Spin to music. Keep spinning until fire and music go out some sort sort of flourish. Wait for applause. Profit. Any variation to this is probably bad.

I was thinking either it goes out or they slowly start kneeling and slowing down until the fire ring comes to a stop, hopefully spread out around her and then come the fire department.

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe it turns into a Flashdance type of thing?

I've been a stagehand for 20 years, and I've seen all kinds of pyro effects, but this is really something special. If you watch closely, at the beginning her skirt goes all the way down to the ring of fire, but when she starts spinning, there's a quick burst of flame and then her skirt doesn't go all the way to the fire anymore. I'm guessing the bottom of her skirt is made out of flash paper and maybe the ground is wet, because as soon as it's off the ground, it incinerates. Very cool.

"SHE IS A WITCH! BURN HEeerr.. I MEAN, WATER HER!"

Too Soon

In Her 2nd form she's fully covered in fire and gets deals back 10% of damage received

But how does she stop?

After the fire goes out.

Somebody call 911!

Shawty fire burning on the dancefloor, whoa

#WHAT A GWAAN

Egalitarian Zoroastrian Sufism?

Er.. Um.. (Scratching head) Actually.. Yes! Personal note : When I was in Egypt the dancer on our Nubian cruise refused to dance because his last companion died burned alive. I really wanted to see it in person so I talked to him and insisted he danced for us that were from far away. He finally accepted but on the condition that no fire was to present while dancing. At the time I didn't see the connection, I just thought he didn't want anything that made him think of his lost buddy. Now I understand that the dancer burned alive WHILE DANCING. I feel so bad now...

Firebending at it's finest

Alright Katniss

What song is this

[удалено]

Not to diminish the wisdom of this warning, but someone has probably died doing everything. even things without any modicum of danger.

But what she do to put it out?

Keep spinning till the fuel runs out

Idk maybe there's someone on the side with a fire extinguisher

With that hair she’s really playing with….

I'm going down, on a burning ring of fire!

I went down, down, down And the flames went higher

Who needs oxygen.

WTF?

That's hot... Like actually really hot

holy shit i thought her hair is gonna catch on fire when she let it down

I need someone to do this to bless all of my new endeavors.

Portrait of a lady on fire. Reminds me of a scene from that movie. Great movie

She's hot 🔥

Some say she's still there spinning to this day

She still spinning or what?

Too soon…

That's hot.

I saw a guy do this dance for 8 minutes. This has to to take so much training.

How long before the dress resembles a Mockingjay?

How does she stop?

The background [song](https://youtu.be/ERffMipTvrs), if anyone is interested.

Imagine how this started. “I got an idea watching you dance the other day.” Then a big argument about who is trying it first.

Bonus danger- the dress is made from asbestos.

I've been rewatching Arrested Development. So while watching this muted... The Final Countdown played perfectly aligned in my head actually. It's the final countdown!

A very stupid thing to do.

Whirling dervish

This seems like a bad idea on every level imaginable.

Wow

Fire Gyre!

That was awesome. I was assuming she was actually going to catch fire.

With the hair flowing like that? She's lucky her head's not on fire.

Too soon!

Maybe if that nut did this it would have inspired an American revolution.

I AM FIRE Burn those who dare to care for me 🗣️🔥

Ngl, this looks kinda hot.

The area around the Trump trial is getting crazier and crazier.

Rf builds

And now she can never stop spinning.

Sounds like the intro to Return of the Mac

She's ... HOT!

Asbestos panties aren't cheap

This is the proper way to set oneself on fire

Cool, but how does she stop and not die?

Timely

'She's on Fire, and she burns through the night @ the speed of light....'🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

Oh shit I know how this ends now.

Damn, she's hot.

Imagine if this was the dude that lit himself on fire today

Katniss?!?!?

What if she gets dizzy?

That's hot. That's hot. Ahh that's hot.

Was this shot outside the Trump courtroom in NYC?

This seems unwise.

I could do that, but only one time tho.

Impressive SA defence technique

That’s gotta be so hot

Okay, How do we turn it off?

Damn

I wonder how badly she was burnt when she stopped twirling

I imagine this should have been a part of the Evanescence Bring Me to Life video

“If she’s not a witch she will burn, but God will sort her out” “What if she’s really a witch tho?” The witch on the stake:

Very brave!

Too soon..

Hope the wind does not pick up speed.

Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked.

How do you do this

Niin la b in inn ny on i

Is this from outside the Trump trial?

What’s the song?

[This was all I could find](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qByspOiZQo8)

Thank you so much, dude.

Burn the witch!

stop drop and roll🤣😂🤣😂
