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.

David Buckel, 60, left behind a charred corpse

, some smelly fumes, some dead grass, some smoke, and a nasty cleanup for someone. Overall, not a great contribution to the world.

At least this time the Liberal put his money where his mouth was and actually DID something for once! LOL!

You can’t say he was a Limousine Liberal who talked the talk but never walked the walk!

If stupidity was an art form. The headline would have read “Picasso died in a Brooklyn fire this morning”.

Looks like she's getting more sophisticated, typing up a "suicide note"

Might there be a different reason? A 60 year old gay, tormented by the psychosis of his lifestyle finally decides to end it and blame it on climate change so he can go out a “hero”?
