He was told that she was going to douse herself in gasoline and [00:01:11] set herself aflame in protest against the Israel Hamas war. He attempted to talk her out of it to no avail. The woman lit herself up and became engulfed in flames. [00:01:26] What a hell of a sight, right? He's trying to talk to her. She does the unthinkable right in front of him.
