A climate activist who lit himself on fire on Earth Day outside the United States Supreme Court Building has died, according to reports.

Wynn Bruce, 50, of Boulder, Colorado, died Saturday, a day after he set himself ablaze in Washington, D.C., the Metropolitan Police Department told Fox News.

The incident happened around 6:30 p.m. on the plaza in front of the court building.

He was airlifted to a local hospital, where he died.

A Facebook page belonging to a person named Wynn Bruce said he was a Buddhist and a climate activist.

In 2020, Bruce left a cryptic Facebook comment that included a fire emoji and the date of his death, 4/22/2022.

Shows how totally crazy these climate fools are.

He will be forgotten quickly because what he did was stupid and accomplished nothing for a nothing cause.

I love his last act was involving heat, and then a ride via fossil fuels.

“Wynn Bruce dies after lighting himself on fire outside Supreme Court”

I remember when these papers used to describe lighting one’s self on fire as self immolation.

Immolation a transitive verb. 1 : to kill or destroy especially by fire. 2 : to offer in sacrifice especially : to kill as a sacrificial victim.

Be interesting if any news reports on this story uses “immolation” as the transitive verb.

I’m guessing the man had other problems in his life.

It’s been a pretty cool spring in DC.

He just wanted to be warm for the rest of his life.

Let’s give credit where it’s due - he CLEARLY reduced his carbon footprint, unlike John Kerry.

I bet Kerry claims the carbon credits.
