Catching yourself on fire because you are a terrorist asshole: PRICELESS
If this guy died he’d be on my list for a Darwin award.
Priceless

This one’s been floating around for a few months — I think someone ran a caption contest. My favourite ways “Aaaeeee!!! Holy shit, your American God is too strong for me!”
Good news on the Concordia front. I guess the old NDP agitators (Jaggi, I’m looking at you there, cowering in the corner) will have to find some other university to harass and bum cigarettes off.
This is a classic, it’s stupider than a bunch of rioting arabs shooting in the air and killing their own people at arab funerals, I guess that guarantees a stream of arab funerals, though.
This particular picture was around right after 9/11 on one of the anti osama sites.
Maybe one of these days one of them will notice that the damn flag is flammable anyway and there’s no need for volatile solvents?
This guy could still be up for a Darwin Awards Honorable Mention, which is a salute to the stupidity of people who stop short of the ultimate sacrifice.
The Darwin Awards honor those who improve our gene pool by removing themselves from it. (see http://www.darwinawards.com).
Here is the winner of the 1999 Darwin awards (very funny):
Living on Zionist Time :
Confirmed True by Darwin
5 September 1999, Jerusalem
Living on Zionist Time :
In most parts of the world, the switch away from Daylight Saving Time proceeds smoothly. But the time change raised havoc with Palestinian terrorists this year.
Israel insisted on a premature switch from Daylight Savings Time to Standard Time to accommodate a week of pre-sunrise prayers. Palestinians refused to live on “Zionist Time.” Two weeks of scheduling havoc ensued. Nobody knew the “correct” time.
At precisely 5:30pm on Sunday, two coordinated car bombs exploded in different cities, killing three terrorists who were transporting the bombs. It was initially believed that the devices had been detonated prematurely by klutzy amateurs. A closer look revealed the truth behind the explosions.
The bombs had been prepared in a Palestine-controlled area, and set to detonate on Daylight Saving Time. But the confused drivers had already switched to Standard Time. When they picked up the bombs, they neglected to ask whose watch was used to set the timing mechanism. As a result, the cars were still en-route when the explosives detonated, delivering the terrorists to their untimely demises.
see http://www.darwinawards.com (search Palestinian).
This event was noted in the New York Times today, as Pales refuse to change their watches when Israel does. Served em right!
Actually the time mixup bombing wasn’t mentioned, just the fact that Palestinians refuse to change their watches–well good for them. Hopefully they won’t learn from their mistakes!
Am I the only one who finds it kind of disgusting that you automatically equate an arab protesting the US a terrorist?
I haven’t seen so far anybody explicitly equating protesters with terrorist on this thread.
So who is this “you” from your post?
Joe, look at the stupid arab setting himself on fire–obviously he has no senses. Sure he can protest, if he’s smart enough not to light himself on fire. These arab radicals play with fire too much, and when they hurt themselves in protest, they get what they deserve. And yes, once you see an arab like this, he’s one stop short of being a full blown terrorist. Let’s give him a darwin treat like that idiot corrie, the pancake.
A terrorist for burning a flag? I see. That’s probably what got the ISM guy labelled an Islamic Jihad member by the IDF–oooooh those A-rabs. But, what do you call a stupid Jew who lights himself on fire at an anti-war rally?
“I haven’t seen so far anybody explicitly equating protesters with terrorist on this thread.”
Marek, did you READ the caption Segacs wrote for the picture?
“Catching yourself on fire because you are a terrorist asshole: PRICELESS”
THIS is explicitly equating protesters with terrorists.
this also explicitly equates protesters with idiots, and that’s very clear.
Joe, that quote was from the email anyway. Segacs didn’t create the quote.
Nonetheless, these are more than protesters, they are preterrorists, soon to be terrorists.
And what exactly are you basing that on mr_b2b2? Besides your own prejudice that is.
Hanthala,
There aren’t too many Jews going around blowing stuff up. There are many Arabs doing this.
Joe,
It’s not an issue of prejudice. That would imply prejudging. I can judge a person who is moved far beyond protest by choosing to ignite a flag, to be a preterrorist. Give him a bomb and the opportunity and he’ll be right at the top of the volunteer list.
Well stated Stuart!
He’s already proved his pyromaniac urges, so it’s beyond my prejudice at this point. I’m laughing just looking at these three pictures–this guy is really stupid, and give him a bomb, and he’s ready to go, after all, he doesn’t mind a bit of fire on his body, so why should he mind a pipe bomb with nails?
I can say conversely Joe that it is your prejudice that makes you believe this guy is only an innocent protester. We all have our opinions, but statistically most terrorists are muslim these days, and the acts you see in the pictures are the induction rites into a new terrorist squad
“Catching yourself on fire because you are a terrorist asshole: PRICELESS”
THIS is explicitly equating protesters with terrorists.
This was quoted from an email Segacs received, segacs didn’t invent the phrase.
I didn’t realize that the caption wasn’t written by Segacs. My apologies.
Give me a break. Some guy goes to a rally, lights a flag on fire, lights himself on fire. He’s not a terrorist. He’s a fucking idiot.
James,
The fact that he lit himself on fire rather than just the flag does not disprove the fact that he is a preterrorist. It just demonstrates that he would not be a very successful terrorist 🙂
Well said! Darwin^2 award granted to preterrorist.
Joe, you can find it disgusting…it’s your right.
ME, I laugh every time I see the dumb bastard set himself alight.
🙂
Have a nice day.
