Belfast Rioter Accidentally Sets Himself On Fire While Attempting To Throw Petrol B*mb

There’s been a ridiculous amount of self-owns coming out of the Belfast riots already, but this one might actually take the cake – a rioter attempting to throw a petrol bomb and accidentally setting himself ablaze instead.

This specific incident occurred in Portadown, Co. Armagh…

Jeez. Talk about an all-time backfire. Imagine being so useless that you can’t even vandalise properly? These guys claim to be protesting against immigration but aside from accidentally KO’ing each other with bricks and burning each other’s houses down, they also somehow manage to turn themselves into human fireballs.

Well anyway, off to A&E he goes. Hopefully he doesn’t get a nurse or doctor who was born abroad because then his day would really be ruined.

Here’s hoping the powers that be come up with some kind of solution here because, all jokes aside, the mob needs to be placated and innocent people also need to be kept safe.

Even the firefighters who are putting out the flames are fighting each other!
