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.

I wonder if he actually noticed the transition from cause of death to beginning of eternity for a couple of minutes.
At least he could pass the bar. Poor Ca gubernatorial candidate Tony Villargairosa tried 4 times and failed.
Give that man the 2018 Darwin award...
I so disagree. If you are dumb enough to eat a Tide Pod, Darwin. If you are dumb enough to snort a condom, Darwin. If you are dumb enough for Self-immolation, Darwin. If you are dumb enough to try and shoot a firework out of your butt and you burn your balls off, Darwin.
I could go on. I am not in favor of eugenics in any way but these morons are taking care of the bell curve on their own. IQ 3 Sigma to the left, sayonara. I should a gofundme to provide these people with Tide Pods, condoms, a can of gas and some rockets.

Now this is an eco-trend I can support.
That was a real burn. We’ll just have to get by asbestos we can.
Trying out for “Up In Smoke - Part II”?
One less carbon dioxide breather down. Many millions more to go, and that’s just in NYC. Remember, they voted for Bloomturd, DeBlasio, Hillary, Gillibrand and Schumer.
Nuff said?
That'll show 'em, eh?
I think he took being a ‘warmist’ just a bit too seriously.
Not surprising.
A lot of the younger generation were never taught basic penmanship in school, and can barely scrawl their names.
Next!
I should have read down further. Looks like the flamer was 60 years old.
What an idiot. Well, at least he isn’t wasting more of our precious oxygen.
He's Black, now.
LOL!
TA DA! Thank you, thank you folks. And now for my next trick....
This lost soul is on you, Soros — you depraved POS.
It’s a great act of protest, but he could only do it once...
If he wanted to be cremated, does he got half off now?
I mean he’s halfway there
