A prominent gay rights activist set himself on fire in a protest suicide in Brooklyn's Prospect Park in the early hours of Saturday morning. David Buckel, 60, was found in the park at 6.30am on Saturday before hundreds descended on it to enjoy the warm Spring weather. He left a note in a bag for police which read: 'My name is David Buckel and I just killed myself by fire as a protest suicide. 'I apologize to you for the mess.'

Someone, somewhere, sometime cared about this person.

He was important to someone at one time, somewhere.

But his attempt at attention via suicide, blaming it on his homosexuality, with a hint that it just might be someone else's fault...?

Nope...don't give a damn.

A drama queen in more ways than one.

And mentally ill in more ways than one, also.

A homosexual liberal Eco-facist CAGW-hyperactive democrat-donating lawyer?

He may have voted eight times as well.

Weird.

Because a “Protest Suicide” would have been done in public or on camera, not in the middle of the night, at 3 AM, where no one saw it happen.

If it was murder, perfect set-up.

And I’m sure this guy had plenty of enemies, he was a LAMDA pedo lawyer.

I wonder if he knew how agonizing it is to die this way?? (or did he have some drug-based protection against the pain?)

Burning oneself alive to protest fossil fuels.... one of the dumber ideas I’ve ever heard about.....

It's like fighting for peace, right?

Or like protesting Trump and Q on Free Republic.

And the joggers who found the Wienie Roast posted the photos on Twitter.

Sorry, that's sorta funny, in a grotesque, 21st century, Leftist way...

He must admit, he did his part to reduce his carbon footprint.

Now that’s commitment!

huh?? He didn’t blame it on homosexuality — his note said it was to protest climate change.

At least he didn’t turn into a new “Unabomber” (so far as we know right now). Someone like this has enormous potential to harm others. At least he seems to have confined his rage to himself in this instance.... (assuming we don’t suddenly learn that he sent a bunch of dangerous parcels in the mail).
