I've seen bumper stickers that said "SAVE THE PLANET, KILL YOURSELF"

Guess he saw one and took it seriously.

I wonder what profit hungry multi-national corporation made the steel for the knife he used.

A crowd of about 200 protesters chanted late Wednesday, "We are all Lee" outside of the Cancun hospital where Lee died.

Oh, how I wish they were telling the truth for once :-)

"a California-based, non-profit food and agricultural advocacy group"

As opposed to all those anti-food, anti-agricultural, pro-starvation advocacy groups?

This is not the first time Lee attempted suicide over WTO policies. In 1990, he stabbed himself in the stomach at the Geneva headquarters of the WTO. Lee also spent several months protesting in front of the headquarters building earlier this year, accusing the WTO of killing people.

So, basically, his "friends" were egging on a guy with deep psychological problems and a history of this behavior.

Way to go, "humanitarians."

Can't they all just commit suicide?

One down, thousands to go...

Lee also spent several months protesting in front of the headquarters building earlier this year, accusing the WTO of killing people....

For a farmer, this guy spent an awful lot of time on the road. His fields must be just full of weeds.

How much you wanna bet this guy never turned over a clod of dirt in his whole life...

A protestor committed suicide here on Wednesday during an anti-globalization rally targeting the WTO's free-trade policies.

We need to encourage more of this kind of thing.

Oh man, that is hilarious! Where can I get one of those stickers? I saw a very funny t-shirt the other day that said "Leglaize Shemp" with a pic of Shemp Howard on it.

Well, that answers that question. Not that there was really any doubt.

Bloodthirsty twits.

Wow. I saw him "do it" on TV but had no idea he actually offed himself!

Buh-bye Lee. Say hi to the Hussein brothers!
