A “green” activist who was a pioneering lawyer for gay and transgender rights — including in the notorious “Boys Don’t Cry” rape murder case — committed suicide by setting himself on fire Saturday morning in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park in a grisly act of protest against the ecological destruction of the Earth.

David Buckel, 60, left behind a charred corpse and a typed suicide note that said he was burning himself to death using “fossil fuel” to reflect how mankind was likewise killing itself, police sources said.

Proving once again that, "Liberalism is a mental disorder".

Hypocrite

What pain must exist in a mans heart to burn himself alive in a public square?

"...burned himself to death due to global warming..."

This lawyer was totally normal and completely sane. This tragedy was due to changes in weather and had nothing to do with his mental health.

Gaia/Satan demands human sacrifices.

Something tells me the timing so close to the Backpage bust may have played a role.

You do not set yourself on fire and be considered sane. He had some deep demons that consumed him just as the fire did in the end. Deeply tragic end to a life.

Yeah well, it’s a start...

One down....

This was a clear case of CRLPD (Catastrophic Radical leftist Psychiatric Disorder.)

Psychiatric Disorder helped contribute to his Radical Leftist ideas, which resulted in Radical Leftist contributing to his mental illness. This created the Catastrophic positive feedback loop that caused the ended of life.

Where there any witnesses?

Maybe it was murder?

[D Rider]

Very sad, cause he is still burning.

[MrEdd]

He represented the NAMBLA crowd on a number of cases twenty-five years ago. That’s a fair assumption.

[Kozak]

Let’s hope this catches on.....

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

We had an ice storm today so it must have worked.

All true believers in global warming should follow his example.

Problem solving itself. But Now he’s just more pollution

They’ve got it wrong. It was “spontaneous combustion,” which also tragically touched the group, Spinal Tap, too many times.
