A sad case of self-immolation with fossil fuels, to protest fossil fuels
A green activist who was a pioneering lawyer for gay and transgender rights — including in the infamous “Boys Don’t Cry” murder case — committed suicide by setting himself on fire Saturday morning in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park.
In a gruesome 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.
He left the note behind in a manila envelope marked “To The Police,” recovered from inside a black metal push cart he discarded at the scene.
Passersby were horrified to see Buckel’s blackened, prone remains.
“It was just lying there, on its back, knees slightly bent like someone would lie on the sand at the beach,” said Irena Ryjova, 44, who rollerbladed past at around 7 a.m., less than an hour after the immolation.

“It was just lying there, on its back,
“prone” is on one’s stomach” If he were on his back, he was supine.

I’m sorry, David, I’m not sure I understand your suicide note.
If you could just clarify, do you want me to burn more fossil fuels or less?

I can't imagine the amount of damage he did during his short time on earth.

Well, that figures, guess it qualifies him to be a FLAMER!
His DNR says he wants cremation.
Well, that is one way to make sure your LAST WISHES are carried out.

See, we ARE winning...
Add these idiots to the ones protesting President Trump’s EO requiring people to inhale and exhale every so often and we will eventually wipe them ALL out...
