Witnesses told the Akron Beacon Journal the man was obviously upset. Following his outdoor rant, he reportedly entered a coffee shop and asked patrons if they knew anyone staging a protest against Trump, after which he went back outside and soaked himself in gasoline before setting himself on fire.
Police have yet to confirm the witnesses? statement. However, one police report said the man handed his phone to a stranger passing him on the street and asked the man to record him before he set himself on fire. Akron Police Sgt. Dennis Woodall said the man was wearing a U.S. Marine Corps uniform. He is currently in stable condition at Akron Children?s Hospital Burn Center, according to reports.
