Alvin Bragg and the Democrats plan to have Trump in courtroom after courtroom, through November.
But no one expected this.
And Trump was left speechless after this one shocking event tragically took place during his trial.
Man sets himself on fire outside of Trump’s trial
In New York City, there is a rule that cameras are not allowed in the courtrooms, forcing media networks to live cover events from outside the court.
And while Eric Shawn was reporting for Fox News on the trial, a tragic event spontaneously took place. A protestor took advantage of the massive media presence by stepping forward, covering himself in fuel, and setting himself on fire.
“We apologize for showing this,” Shawn told viewers for the unfortunate event taking place during a live broadcast.
When the fire started, Shawn dropped everything, abandoned his role as a reporter, and sprang into action to try and save the protestor’s life.
“Get a fire extinguisher!” Shawn could be heard screaming, rushing to the news truck. “Do you have a fire extinguisher in the truck? Do we have a fire extinguisher in the truck?”
First responders jumped onto the scene to suppress the fire and to rush the protestor to the hospital.
The protestor, named Max Azzarello, was only 37 years old, according to later reports on the incident.
“It’s almost inconceivable that anyone could survive that,” Shawn added.
Confirming his worst fears, Azzarello eventually died from his injuries soon after being taken in at a nearby hospital.
Who was Azzarello and why did he do this
Azzarello was one of the many protestors who attended the trial to support the cause against Trump.
In the footage that caught the event, Azzarello can be seen seeking out the media and a place to be seen by the cameras.
“Biggest scoop of your life or your money back!” Azzarello could be heard shouting.
Speaking to The New York Times, Azzarello argued “Trump’s in on it” while claiming that he successfully discovered that Peter Thiel, a known Trump supporter and a Silicon Valley entrepreneur, was the center of a major government conspiracy.
Azzarello boasted himself as an investigative journalist, but appeared to be a radical left-wing conspiracy theorist.
He also had previously published a substack titled “The Ponzi Papers,” where his final note stated, “I have to set myself on fire outside the Trump Trial.”
Azzarello believed that by setting himself on fire, he’d successfully shine a light on his so-called “research” on the insane allegation that there is a fascist takeover of the country in the works.
“My name is Max Azzarello, and I am an investigative researcher who has set himself on fire outside of the Trump trial in Manhattan,” wrote Azzarello. “This extreme act of protest is to draw attention to an urgent and important discovery.”
“It’s a secret kleptocracy, and it can only lead to an apocalyptic fascist coup,” he continued. “We are victims of a totalitarian con, and our government (along with many of their allies) is about to hit us with an apocalyptic fascist world coup.”
Azzarello believed that the rich intentionally consolidated the nation’s wealth, and planned to send the country into a fascistic nightmare to protect their status.
He wrote that the elites of America intended to “gobble up all the wealth they could and then yank the rug out from under us so they could pivot to a hellish fascist dystopia.”
While Trump’s political show trial has been nothing more than political theater, and protests against the former President were expected, this was an insane step up from those expectations.
