Setting yourself on fire for Palestine? What a sucker.

On 9/11, I was off because I had just had surgery. My wife at the time worked in an office building about 15 minutes away in Pittsburgh. One of the planes turned around over Cleveland and circled back over PA. I can’t recall if it was the one that hit pentagon or the one that crashed in Central Pa with the Lets Roll guy. My wife always took the T to her office because parking was a bitch and it was just all suburban business people.

So they decide to just call it a day at her office an hour after she got there and I told her I’d come grab her. So I’m almost to her office and I see all these people up ahead in the median grass area between roads going both ways. They’re waving flags. I didn’t know what they were about, and I look I over as I passed and I see that red/green Palestinian flag waving and they are celebrating. It was maybe a dozen people, but the first plane had only hit like a few hours earlier. I legit wanted to run them over. I couldn’t believe someone didn’t.

Kids getting killed is brutal, but fuck those people forever. I’ve never known a Palestinian that wasn’t somewhat a scam artist here in the US. Own drive thrus and gas stations. Lots of Jordanians and Palestinians. Always the places that skim your credit card or sell vapes and alcohol to 12 year olds. Food stamps .50 on the dollar for addicts. Even after they’re successful and long past their immigrant days
