You should never take a firearm anywhere in England.

How he he get onto the court with a firearm?

He is pretty armless.

What a drop kick I bet he doesn’t even tidy his room.

Gee. Without reading the article I already know this is a lefty.

That's cool. Just don't use two stroke.

Wasn't serious then

I'm thinking that if I ever decide to permanently disfigure myself, I'd at least pick a worthwhile cause - this would've been a perfect Darwinian award recipient! 😆

He had a burning desire that needed igniting

That protest didn't stop the war. What's an arm on fire going to stop? Still don't know what he was protesting.

Off to Centrelink for the disability pension.

That look on is face, obviously never been camping or had anything to do with fire before, priceless 😂

Interest factor hmmm 🤔 give it a 3 as it's different...

ABC support Climate Change protests . Now you can see REAL results 👍

How long did it take to put the fire out ? A long time ?

Coincidentally built like a bundle of sticks.

His body, his choice.

Burning Man is a different event dude!

Was he protesting Fed express retiring ?

campfires burning, draw nearer

Still the second hottest forearm on the court

Hmm....now a bunch of people have to dedicate public resources to treating that.

I daresay he'll play the mental health card, or it will be played on his behalf.

Was the game really that bad 🤦‍♂️🙄

Burn, baby burn!

I am Soy Boy Here me roar. I'm too important to ignore.

He looks shocked that it actually hurts 🤷‍♂️

All that because he doesn't like tennis, what an intelligent person.

Should have left him alone to see how long he'd sit there burning.

Fark you, I won't do whatcha tell me!

Just let him burn away a waste of space.

Protestor?

I also like to think that I have a burning forearm on the tennis court.

anyone help him, with the rest

That moment when he is thinking 'Why?'.

Exclusive video of protester driving home…

Now that is sacrifice! 🙌

Chris Angel?

That’s not a protest. This is a protest

Don’t get the strategy of these protesters hurting themselves. One day no one will unglue them or put out their self-immolation attempts

The Climate Youth will nee re-educating, soo many lies have been told sad

Now there's a beta male if I've ever seen one.🧐👎

What a complete spud, 😆 🤣 his looking at the fire thinking 🤔 why do u hurt so much 😢 😆 🤣

Idiot.

How was he even able to get on the court

now that’s what i call a hot forehand

This is what a Climate Narsasist looks like. Leftards.Every.Fcuking.Time
