A climate activist who died after setting himself on fire in front of the Supreme Court on Earth Day is a buddhist who hinted at his future self-immolation with a fire emoji under a Facebook post from 2020.
Wynn Bruce, 50, of Boulder, Colorado, lit himself on fire on the court's plaza at around 6.30pm Friday.
He suffered critical burns and was pronounced dead at a local hospital on Saturday.
On October 30, 2020, he shared a link to an online class on climate change offered by edX, a free online course platform created by Harvard and MIT.
Last April, he went back and commented: '4-1-1 4/22/2022,' along with a fire emoji.
Surveillance footage of the immediate aftermath of the fire show police officers as they attempt to calm Bruce, who can be heard screaming in the background.
Police are still investigating a motive, but a Buddhist priest from Boulder took to Twitter to clarify that Bruce's death was not a suicide, but a 'deeply fearless act of compassion.'

I like a feel good story of the day
Yeah! That’ll fix it!
Too bad he died - I would have preferred he live in great pain for years first.
My wife works with a lot of Leftist and observes “how childish they are”.
to find out the extent of their childishness- al one has to do is tell them “My Goodness but you are childish”- that will set them off big time- another good tactic is to show ample proof that what they spew is lies- they get enraged then=-
“This act is not suicide”
OK, It’s BBQ.
To say that it wasn’t a suicide is about as loony as saying that someone with a nut sack is a girl.
If he was really serious, he would have lit himself on fire on Oct 30, 2020 ...
A little Blue Oyster Cult should help this thread. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipqqEFoJPL4
Maybe if all the left-wing nuts who believe in climate change were to burn themselves alive, we would have global warming.
āCompassionā - is that how Buddhists spell āstupidā?
Just asking for a friendā¦
Fire
Iāll take you to burn
Fire
I’ll take you to learn
You gonna burn, burn, burn
Fire
I’ll take you to burn
All the global warming alarmists should commit to reducing their carbon footprint in such spectacular fashion.
Look at all the resources he will not be consuming for the estimated 20 years more he had to live.
Sarc/off.
Seriously, though, it is disheartening to see people so afraid of what may happen that they commit suicide.
Prayers for his family.
If heād buried himself alive, his personal carbon footprint would have returned to the Earth. Instead, he chose, as his last living action, to contaminate the atmosphere with unnecessary additional carbon. What a selfish final act.
Clearly not carbon neutral.
>> Buddhist priest
Isn’t that some kind of rock band?
How much CO2 did this guy release during this little stunt?...Selfish bastard.
