The Rio Olympics are being heavily protested all over Brazil. On Wednesday, we had a man attempt to douse the flame with a fire extinguisher.

The Rio Olympics, as has been stated before, are essentially a dumpster fire at this point. As the fire rises, the protests of the Olympics have been coming in from all over Brazil. People have been trying to put the Olympic flame out before this, protestors have been holding up “Welcome to Hell” signs up at airports, and now, some dude attempted to put the Olympic flame out with a fire extinguisher.

The man thought that the flame could be extinguished easily with one burst of the extinguisher, but the spirit of the Olympics lives on. He got hilariously grabbed and likely arrested.

Regardless of the failed protest, the Olympics are going under, fast. The only anti doping lab in Rio lost is accreditation. Body parts washed up on the shore of the beach where Beach Volleyball is expected to be played. Essentially all of the major golfers won’t be going. There’s severe pollution in some areas of Rio. Their economy tanked so hard that they can’t pay their cops, and will have to use the Brazilian military for security. Getting the Olympics might have caused Brazil to turn in this economic depression.

There are many reasons for native Brazilians to protest the Rio de Janeiro games in 2016. If you’re going to protest, you better make sure you hit your mark, unlike this man.
