I don’t have any sympathy for this only somewhat atypical Boulderite.

However, I do feel sorry for anyone who had to witness his self-immolation. It had to have been very traumatic to see.

If you’re going to suicide, have the freaking decency to do it somewhere out of public view.

“He should have used electricity.”

No, even better, he should have got a small boy to use a magnifying glass, like they do with ants.

It was definitely a suicide. They are not in touch with reality.

I like a feel good story of the day

Yea, the death of a human being via suicide is such a joyous occasion that it should not only be laughed at but celebrated by all Christians everywhere........

“Propagandized to death”

Put him in another time and circumstance and he’d still have found something reason enough to kill himself. Perhaps it was to protest the Roman Empire or the Nazi Holocaust.

Yes, it is a sad story. Sad that there are self-proclaimed scientists claiming a questionable theory as a fact for ulterior motives knowingly leading so many vulnerable people so far astray that one would do something like this. I don’t think they even feel a twinge guilt. They are probably laughing. The definition of evil.

He lowered the level of crazy in the world by taking himself out of it.

Other crazies should follow his example.

Surveillance footage of the immediate aftermath of the fire show police officers as they attempt to calm Bruce, who can be heard screaming in the background.
This is how popular culture just renders people stupid: he probably got thousands of likes on FB for threating to burn himself in the name of climate change, and encouragement from "Buddhist monks" --

But he never considered and nobody told him that it actually hurts.

A lot.

More than a lot.

Really, really hurts.

And no one stopped him.
