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.'

If he was a real Buddhist monk, he would have controlled his mind and died quietly.
Of course if he was a real Buddhist monk, he also would have incinerated himself over something that mattered.

It was a fossil-fuel driven deflagration.
He burnt his own toast and never brought the butter.

another good tactic is to show ample proof that what they spew is lies-I offered $1000 cash for video of Trump saying "Nazis and White supremacists are fine people" or words to that effect.
I would say "You have a phone. You know how to use Google. Take all the time you need".
Twists their heads right off.
