Aaron Bushnell, a former member of the United States Air Force, tragically died in 2024 after self-immolating (i.e., himself on fire) outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C. This act was a protest against the United States' support for Israel. Luigi Mangione is accused of shooting and killing Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, in 2024. He allegedly carried out the attack as a protest against the health insurance industry.
