It’s not funny. It’s absolutely, completely, and entirely not funny.
OK, it’s a little funny. But only because this fool asked for it.
Cell phone footage caught the moment a rioter in Portland caught fire after his own Molotov cocktail exploded near him, igniting his feet.
In the video, a loud explosion goes off just before a man in a red cap is seen dancing awkwardly away from the blaze, both feet entirely engulfed in flames. People can be heard screaming and trying to help as the guy desperately tries to get his shoes off.

Luckily for this clown, Portland Fire and Rescue medics – you know, the guys Portland Antifa doesn’t see any use for – showed up on the scene and carted the idiot away to the hospital.
According to police, multiple explosive devices were thrown at officers and 59 people were arrested during the violent riot. Multiple officers were hit with rocks, bottles and other projectiles, while one sustained burns to his hand after being hit with a commercial-grade firework.
“Many in the crowd were carrying large shields and dressed in protective gear including helmets, gas masks, body armour, and all black clothing. It was clear that the intent of the crowd was not peaceful protest,” police said in a statement. “This criminal activity presented an extreme danger to life, safety for all community members, and prompted a declaration of a riot.”
