My account of what happened at Pearl Street today. Self proclaimed Palestinian man (in his 50s best guess) lighting people on fire with gasoline (from gardening tool) and throwing Molotov cocktails. Burned about 6 people aged mostly over 70.
Definitely premeditated as it happened during the typical Sunday scheduled peaceful/silent walk holding Jewish hostage signs and Israeli flags. Walk has been happening every Sunday since 10/7/23.
Man shouted "You f*cking Zionists kill my people so I kill you!"

One elderly woman was so severely burned that her hair was charred and she wasn't moving while others cared for her. Others were sitting/lying down in shock, some with their pants burned off, skin melted up their legs with their skin even split open and bleeding in some areas.
All we could do was pour water over them from the fountain at the courthouse while they were in agony waiting for the police and paramedics to arrive (easily took 10 min just from the time I arrived at the scene). To their credit, they apprehended the man quickly/immediately. 
Quick correction from my video, I thought it was alcohol due to the color but smelled like gasoline.
