Rebecca had this SCOTUS story last Friday. What the hell is going on in Washington, DC?
It was a hellacious week in the capital. The DC Police issued a general evacuation order for the Capitol Complex after an aircraft that may have posed a danger was detected. It turned out the unknown parachuters were members of the US Army Golden Knights doing a jump for the Washington Nationals baseball game.
Then, there was a shooting that left at least three people injured. The suspect was later found dead near the scene. And then, there was this suicide in front of the Supreme Court. A man decided to pull a "Buddhist monk in Saigon" and set himself on fire. He later died of his injuries. His name was Wynn Bruce, and he was a climate activist from Boulder, Colorado (via NY Post):
A climate activist who lit himself on fire on Earth Day outside the United States Supreme Court Building has died, according to reports.
Wynn Bruce, 50, of Boulder, Colorado, died Saturday, a day after he set himself ablaze in Washington, D.C., the Metropolitan Police Department told Fox News.
The incident happened around 6:30 p.m. on the plaza in front of the court building.
He was airlifted to a local hospital, where he died.
A Facebook page belonging to a person named Wynn Bruce said he was a Buddhist and a climate activist.
In 2020, Bruce left a cryptic Facebook comment that included a fire emoji and the date of his death, 4/22/2022.
Police are still investigating the motive, but I'm sorry—that's a bit ironic. The climate activist committed suicide by dousing himself in fossil fuels. Look, there are a lot of walls you crash into being on the left. We all know this.

He must have felt pretty worthless to do that.
The hard and cold fact is that his concerns about Climate Change are not shared by most people.
Sadly, his Grande Exit will have the same effect as a raindrop falling into the Indian Ocean. I suspect he had no strong spiritual beliefs and assumed the physical world was all there is.
The world will keep on turning
and the needed fuels will keep on burning
It would have been Earth conscious of him to electrocute himself with a lithium battery.

Light a man on fire and he stays warm for the rest of his life.
Ouch! 😨🌋🙌
You’ve got to give Andy Warhol some credit for recognizing the desire of many for 15 minutes of fame, but I guess not even he could predict there’d be those who’d go out their way for their 15 minutes of flame.
There is a haiku in all this. Let me try something:
You Wynn and you lose
You loser you choose
It suck to be yoose
We win when Wynn lose
…..
….. who wants to compose another?
What is the new development the title alludes to, we’ve known this for a few days now.
I will respectfully refrain from making any comments on the subjects of karma or the hot hell realms. :)
Devil to earth nut :
” let me get this straight,
ETERNITY in agony
from all consuming fire ,,
, wasn’t enough,,,
you had to add seconds to it
before you even got here ?”
” where’s screwtape?,
tell him he can lower his thermostat 1 degree,
for martyr well done ,,,err,,
job well done,”
.
Devil to screwtape
” martyr well done,,
\-),, get it ?
martyr WELL DONE !!! “
.
Sad and painful and meaningless way to die.
Could have been alcohol, acetone, or other non-petro based fuel...but probably not.
Divine accolades (well done, thou good and faithful servant) are not likely in this man’s future.
If the police start worrying about nut jobs from Boulder, they would be very, (VERY) busy.
Divine accolades (well done, thou good and faithful servant) are not likely in this man’s future.

And that, is , the saddest part.
Well, if only more of these idiots would do the same...
Clickbait article. I read all these facts last week. So what is the “new development?”
The company got a special deal on the rent of a first-class industrial building plumbed for high power, liquid nitrogen, the works. In exchange for this special deal, they had to hire a certain number of people off the welfare rolls. The problem with the deal is that no matter how you dumb down the work instructions...”every time a widget comes down the line, put this bolt on it”...is that people on the welfare rolls ARE working. Their job is to stay on welfare and they’re good at it. They don’t WANT a job where they have to show up sober and are expected to pass drug tests. (They stopped drug testing because none of the floor personnel passed. Their lawyer told them, “If only blacks fail the drug tests, then the drug tests are racist.” Honest. Can’t make that up.)
Indeed it is—John Kerry and Algore have this deranged person’s blood on their hands.
