He was a member of Akron's Serve The People mutual aid organization.
The most important thing to take away is that Hearsay Evidence deserves top billing in this message and their copyright must always be respected.
I mean they did desaturate and cel-shade one of his facebook photos. C'mon, be cool, bro. Respect their rights. Do you have any idea how much time it takes to select a good font?
Good point. We mustn't let their efforts and sacrifice be forgotten or overshadowed by less important matters.
Desaturated, cel-shaded, and then added the orange glow of flames to one of his Facebook photos…
In fairness, I think Bushnell would not have minded that orange glow of flames bit.
Well, you didn't crop it
That's because I'm very respectful of their rights as copyright holders. What's this country come to if you cant make derivative works of original images without claiming copyrights?
I too hope to die a horrible death one day so hearsay evidence can use my image for their messaging.
I'm actually scheduled to die specifically for a Hearsay message this Tuesday!
I'm their 10:45—had to schedule a month ahead!
Minor but important correction: "Free Palestine!" was vehemently exclaimed, not merely stated.
I will no longer be complicit in genocide. Say it out loud.
How does a voting us citizen abstain from genocide?
You guys really need some anti-genocide options on your ballot. I'm gonna get called Antigen for this, aren't I?
Our ballot needs options, period. Ranked choice would go a long way but oppressors will never give the people theyre oppressing the tools to escape oppression.
The US ballot is damage control. You vote to minimize people's suffering and that's all you can basically do. It's such bunk that we even get so worked up over the general election. We should spend more time focusing on our communities. Except the powers that be keep us busy with toil so we never get a chance to even field our local governments. Being a productive citizen takes a good amount of time. Capitalism refuses to budget us that time.
I am a firm believer if we kept everything about the US government the same but gave people back their free time we would see the country go through a whole new enlightenment.
It won't happen. Except, I've been wrong.
Edit:
Like what if we just stopped trying to make a buck for the Musk's and Bezo's. What if we focused our labor force on the essentials. Work from home, cripple the auto industry. Content yourself with having more processing power than you'll ever need just in the palm of your hand. Reteach ourselves to cook for ourselves. Invest in infustracture and refurbish our run down cities.
Sorry, I was dreaming to myself again.
You are fighting an uphill battle. The mind rape is strong. Keep expressing truth and hope for the idea to reach critical mass. The bad thing about this is that US has so many firearms the potencial change could be bloody af. The "ruling" class and their cult-like followers will excite violence before relinquish their fake power.
Long gone are the days when love could conquer all. Long gone is my opportunity to live in an enlightened America. For all the other geezers out there; maybe we ought to prepare the ones who come after. They still have a chance.
Thanks for the reminder 🙏 Cheers
I guess by burning yourself
What if I burn something that isn't myself?
Fuckin hell. So young and a brutal way to go.
This is what they bring it down to:
An incident report filed by a Secret Service agent states that they “received a distress call regarding an individual exhibiting signs of mental distress outside the Israeli embassy.”
Looks like he was fighting for justice and not against it
He was my age...
So what happen to this guy?

I take it he was from Ohio?
Seems he was from Massachusetts, but apparently had connections to several Ohio groups. I had to hunt a bit for it.
"He seems to be associated with at least two Ohio-based anarchist organizations, Mutual Aid Street Solidarity and Burning River Anarchist Collective. Bushnell had the groups bookmarked on Facebook."

Couldn't he just refused? Why kill yourself?
He was just a plane ride away from providing actual help with NGOs. The passion is remarkable but suicide is almost always a tragic waste of life.
