Max Azzarello, a troubled conspiracy theorist, set himself on fire and died outside the courthouse where the Trump hush money trial is underway in NYC.
The scene that occurred on April 19th at the doorstep of the Manhattan courthouse is one that is very shocking. This is the venue where the case of hush money involving former President Donald Trump has been going on for some time. Max Azzarello, 37, one of the Florida conspirators, killed himself from the plaza in front of the court as a token of defiance.
The witnesses claimed that Azzarello was moving among the Trump Supporters, giving them the link via his Substack newsletter, which urged them about the "totalitarian con" and "apocalyptic fascist world coup" by the government. Then, he flung the flyers at the fire and followed by himself, pouring gasoline and later burning himself.
The fire department was called to put out the fire with the severity of Azzarello's burns (third degree) that nurses feared for his life. That night, he was taken to the burn ward of Cornell University Hospital and died around 11 pm. It was some complications that caused his death.
The video coverage of the self-immolation trial by the journalists went viral. On the disturbing scene, smoke arose in front of the courthouse, with Azarello's actions taking place beside Trump, who faced charges of 34 felonies of forging business records.

Azzarello's declaration is rather ambiguous with respect to his raison d'etre. Yet he condemns worldwide totalitarianism because he sees it just as a "totalitarian con", and then a "fascist world coup" by governments would be the next thing. The Florida person, who had been coined as a paranoid scammer, was said to have been protesting in the courthouse for quite a long time, involving him in this fierce display.
The police probes are ongoing despite the trial's high profile. The impeachment trial of President Trump faces tremendous media attention. Mental health professionals emphasize the need for the consultation of those who are introspective, as the state may lead to harming oneself on a personal level.
