      First, EJ, this is a damn lie! Second. You are disgusting to let another human being burn because it is none of your business. Third. How much of a f birdbrain are you to compare someone setting themselves on fire to you doing house chores. I love your channel but this one is way off! Do better.
      If you watch MSNBC, Joy Reid, you will see the full, real story (Link below). This person was left burning for 120+-seconds (2-3+ full minutes) before anyone attempted to help him. No one went to put out the fire which is why the flames where shooting 10+-feet in the air and my video was removed from my YT channel and I had to re-record other videos covering this topic after I cursed the mf out at UA-cam. But Joy Reid has the full story and pictures. Laura Coates is a CNN hack and a liar! Have a good day. Copy and Paste Link: ua-cam.com/video/7T4Rz33o3iY/v-deo.htmlsi=lDildxRmP6IwKc7D (04/22/24)

Last night at the beginning of her CNN show, Laura Coates Live, she spoke from the heart regarding what she experienced on the scene. Ms. Coates was indeed traumatized from the event. She mentioned how her eyes could never unsee, her nose could never "unsmell" and her heart was breaking for the man who set himself on fire. I, like you, commend Laura Coates for remaining professional throughout the entire chaotic scenario. As usual, EJ, your spin on anything keeps me laughing!

    I get the 1 year only special rates for The New York Times, The Washington Post and The Atlantic. I’m watching a couple of Black political commentators on UA-cam. But I’m going to have to go on a news blackout because all this bad news is launching me into a deep depression. I’m waiting to hear that Trump is guilty and has to go to jail.
