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 was Batman?
Self-immolation is a glitzy story, but this is the one the media are trying to bury.
“ Then, there was a shooting that left at least three people injured. The suspect was later found dead near the scene.”
It’s looking more and more that this guy, Raymond Spencer, targeted Whites, was a NOI fan, and was set up to recreate the Las Vegas massacre. He’s not White, although I haven’t heard anyone identify his race, and there have been no interviews with his “estranged” family broadcast.
From Boulder, nothings shocking.
I wonder if Greta will send his family some flowers via pigeon delivery.
The motive? Obviously he was insane. I am glad that he limited his environmental martyrdom to himself and himself only.
Just like the Brooklyn subway shooter from three weeks ago, down the memory hole.
OK, I just gotta know: what line of work were you in?
Not at all. The monks gave up the crispy critter thing in favor of giving money to Democrat candidates like they did with Al Gore. This guy was behind the times.
Waiting to see how they blame Trump
Yeah, apparently he's still in Saigon
According to the Denver Post
"Bruce set himself on fire in an apparent imitation of Vietnamese monks who burned themselves to death in protest during the Vietnam War."
Why I can just hear her saying those chilling words--"how dare you?"
1 Kings 18
28 And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them.
