As we reported earlier, Portland celebrated their 100th night of rioting.

It was lit. No, I mean really lit. At least for one Antifa rioter it was.

Someone threw a Molotov cocktail at the cops, but it fell short and hit another Antifa guy. It did not go well.

His fellow Antifa were not particularly helpful, although they did try to get him to “stop, drop and roll.” What they should have done is take off a jacket and stifle the fire. But it was the cops that came on the run with a fire extinguisher to save the day. Notice once again how they are the ones who are prepared and probably better than social workers would be in this case. Even while being attacked by these guys, their first inclination was to run to help. Doesn’t that say everything about what being a cop is about?

Now, the guy appeared not to be badly hurt, and perhaps it’s a little much to hope he’s learned that rioting, especially with Molotov cocktails, is not a good idea.

This was in a residential neighborhood and the police cleared them out. Can you imagine what the residents have had to put up with?

Extremely heavy smoke in SE Portland tonight as #antifa riot using Molotov cocktails. One person was already set on fire. BLM-antifa are celebrating more than 100 days of violence in the city. #PortlandRiots pic.twitter.com/hqA5lF9gao

But now, the Internet has lit up with all kinds of memes regarding the incident.

Loads of beautiful videos coming out thanks to the Antifa moron who lit himself on fire during the latest Portland riots.

This dance number wins it hands down though.
