Before he went to the Israeli embassy, Aaron Bushnell posed this question (to all of us) on his Facebook page (facebook.com/aaron.bush…)
Many of us like to ask ourselves, “What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide?”
The answer is, you’re doing it. Right now.

Aaron is from a generation of social media; the brainwashing is by American society.
He did not analyze the situation, he wanted to be a video phenomenon that would change the world. He is just a video phenomenon that will influence some unstable people to do horrific things on video for no "reason" at all. It is the ultimate "selfie".
Would I light myself on fire during slavery? Jim Crow South? Apartheid? Genocide?
Um, no.
