If you had told the average person that an anarchist or an airman had set himself on fire to protest Israel’s campaign against Islamic terrorists, you would get two very different reactions.
Unsurprisingly the media led with the data point most likely to produce a favorable reaction. And Aaron Bushnell cynically played the same game, wearing (the wrong) uniform to his Hamas suicide attempt rather than the Antifa red in which he had been previously photographed.
The Washington Post gets around to admitting that Bushnell was an “anarchist”. [SNIP] But the Washington Post then misleadingly suggests he was raised in a Christian cult.

How did this Antifa / Hamas supporter get into our Armed Forces? Who's in charge?

A bystander should have broken out the marshmallows and the weenies. An Antifa roast is good fun for all.

Being in the Air Force and simultaneously a member of a radical communist group used to be unauthorized and would lead to bed things. Now that they are woke though, it may be a resume enhancer.

He wanted to be dead. He is dead. He wanted to send a message and change the world? I don't know. It didn't work. Just glad he did not take anyone else with him. There are better ways to express yourself than emulation. Reminds me of the Buddhist Monks who protested in South Vietnam in the early 60's. Seriously, this changes nothing except to show once again we have a mental health problem. Very painful way to die for basically nothing.

I keep missing the WaPo and the NYT, and then they tell another consequential lie-by-omission. Do they have no faint idea that we don't mind their editorial page, we mind the lying and the slander and the manipulation on the news page? Will they ever suspect they are not fooling anybody much anymore except those who enjoy the whole cosplay?

Was he homosexual as well? Incel? Ambi? Poly? Asexual?
The only aspect this story lacks is his/her/they/xi/it's Sexual Preferences.
Did he know any Vindemans?

Did I miss the part when he joined the Air Force, since it was not mentioned in the article?
A whole lot about the cult his family was in, and folks who knew him in the cult. A woman who bonded with him over their socialist goals after meeting in San Antonio in 2022.
FTA:
Less than two weeks before Aaron Bushnell walked toward the gates of the Israeli Embassy on Sunday, he and a friend talked by phone about their shared identities as anarchists and what kinds of risks and sacrifices were needed to be effective…
Still nothing on when he might have served which leads me to conclude he was simply wearing a uniform that gave the appearance he was an "airmen".
Once again, the MSM won't report the actual news about this person - Antifa and diehard socialist member.

I call this a Darwin Award. Considering his background, he probably slept around with women who promptly aborted his spawn. So now that he's charcoal, in a years time, no one will remember him as anything but an idiot, to twisted to live.

The entire 4-Star Cult within the Pentagon needs to be "permanently-gone" for lowering enlistment standards to get recruitment levels up to snuff. It appears the Flag Rank levels need to be reduced by up to 75% at certain levels. One thing's for sure, "by their past Tweets ye shall know them." Also, all Officers who graduated from the service academies really need to be reduced in census. I'd trust ROTC officers over "ring-knockers" any day of the week.

So, the idea that this guy was an idiot was correct.

The fact that an ANTIFA member could don the Air Force Uniform is a disgrace and typical of the garbage who work under "Affirmative Action" Austin!
We can hope as Americans that the current leadership is prosecuted for treason under the next administration.

SrA Aaron Bushnell enlisted in the Air Force around 2019/2020. His official email address is still listed on the DoD GAL as being stationed at Lackland AFB, TX. He was an IT specialist who, based on his LinkedIn profile, either separated was in the process of separating from the AF. Although raised in a questionable environment, Bushnell ultimately made his own bad choices and then threw his life away on a lie. Very sad.

One less jihadi on the planet. RE #1, our armed forces are so desperate for people they would accept a three-legged goat and have the uniform tailor-made.

It's a terrible thing to say, but maybe more of his antifa buddies will be inspired to do the same. How else will we be rid of these mind numbed dolts.

Yet the Biden supporting democrats accuse myself and fellow MAGA supporters of being in a cult. Last time I checked we weren't the ones self-immolating.

He's definitely a role model for Antifa crackpots.
