There’s eccentric, then there’s crazy, then there’s bat-guano crazy. Then there’s this guy, as our sister site Twitchy alerted us:

There’s a few things that indicate mental unwellness: shouting at the sun, believing your next door neighbor is a reptilian alien from Proxima Centauri, being a transgendered person who supports Hamas, and weirdest of all, being a transgendered person who supports Hamas that sets theyself on fire to prove a point.

We used to have mental hospitals for people like this. Now we have social media. Meet the former photojournalist for a CBS affiliate who can’t believe theys lost his job in performative b*tsh*t behavior.

Uh-huh.

Look, when dealing with someone who obviously has, well, issues, we should be as tinder as possible. But X users were less than understanding of Sam Mena Jr’s lunacy, and it’s probably understandable. Some typical examples:

While this may well be Sam Mena’s claim to flame, it’s also a great example of just how unhinged the far left has become. And Sam is a great example; a line from his blog is telling:

But I’m a journalist. I am a mediator of information.

No, Sam, you are not a mediator. It’s not your job, as a journalist, to mediate information, just to present it. If you’re going to call yourself a journalist, you must strike that line and that notion from your profile and from your day-to-day presumptions. Remember, you’re just a reporter, and now, I might add, an unemployed one.

Sam will, of course, do no such thing. As if supporting Hamas wasn’t enough, as if claiming Israel is conducting “genocide” wasn’t enough, Sam has to go and take the half-measure of setting one arm on fire. His left arm, at that – assuming he’s right-handed, like most folks, well, that’s just a pedestrian effort.

This X user “Dr. Logan Levkoff,” gets it:

So let me get this straight. You lit your arm on fire to protest a war started by genocidal Islamist psychopaths and you “just” lost your job? I also think you’ve lost the plot and your sense of right and wrong. I could keep going but those flags side by side in your bio tell me you’re not very bright.

All correct – and we could add “looney tunes” to Dr. Levkoff’s assessment.

This seems appropriate.
