Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for this guy:

Protestor lit flag on fire, then lit himself on fire, catching others on fire. Flames extinguished by firefighters. No serious injuries.

We can only hope.

Since everyone’s OK, this story’s fair game for mockery. So … have at it!

Hearing reports that the protestor trying to burn the American flag accidentally lit himself on fire.

Justice is a beautiful thing.
