(Hey, the internet is known for flame wars, especially about anthropogenic global warming, amirite?)
Note also, he took *personal action* to stop climate change...excepting the carbon footprint he left upon his exit from this mortal coil.
Prayers for his soul.
I wonder if he knew how agonizing it is to die this way?? (or did he have some drug-based protection against the pain?)
Burning oneself alive to protest fossil fuels.... one of the dumber ideas I’ve ever heard about.....
Sorry, that's sorta funny, in a grotesque, 21st century, Leftist way...
“A prominent gay rights activist set himself on fire in a protest suicide in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park in the early hours of Saturday morning. David Buckel, 60, was found in the park at 6.30am on Saturday before hundreds descended on it to enjoy the warm...”
______________
I SWEAR, I thought the sentence was going to continue ‘to enjoy the warmth surrounding the protester.”
His delusion is different in extent and one could say in kind, but delusion is delusion is delusion at the most basic level of sin. It is the source of missing the mark.
I remind myself not to be right about things, but to not miss the mark, or at least try to aim-small-miss-small and hope for a shoulder between the road and the cliff. If there weren't one ... I'd be dead already.
The primary delusion it mistaking 'the world' for what's real, but there are a billion other manifestations that lead to that.
A twofer.........
He might have been aided.
Here’s to hoping this becomes a bigger fad than eating Tide Pods and snorting condoms.
What an idiot.
What message did he think he was giving out? He was better off at least trying to self-immolate at Exxon HQ. Or maybe instead of going out in a drama queen blaze of glory he could’ve spent himself into the poor house fighting for the cause he actually believed in.
No no... couldn’t do THAT. My take is he had a jilted lover or realized that his personal life had meant NOTHING and he had nothing to live for. So, like the rest of his life, he covered his personal experiences in the shroud of political ideology as if that made if have meaning.
And its people like him that are currently the judges and lawyers in this nation.
Lost his mind , lost his life.
This is so sad. Unrepentant sin over a lifetime caused his tragic end. Living a lifetime of lies and deceit caused this tragedy. Prayers for the people he left behind.
So what was the real reason he killed himself? Someone like that has got to have done a lot of bad things in his time.
Seems like a queer thing to do. The question is, “ Can a burning faggot in Brooklyn cause a tornado in Texas?”
I take no pleasure in this.
Having said that, he devoted himself to championing something that is morally and mentally perverse; I suspect it helped him along the way toward this end.
Hopefully a whole passel of his buddies follow his lead.
I’ll donate a gallon of petrol and a book of matches.
Reminds me of the scene in the Dirty Harry movie The Dead Pool,
Harry Callahan: Oh you can set yourself into a bonfire and we’ll break out the marshmallows and the weenies but you ain’t gonna be on News at Eleven.
Yep - never hurts to pray for a pitifully tortured soul - seems like far too many fail to understand the torture this poor man must have been inflicting upon himself - they quip and my heart aches.....for their souls.
Self inflicted BBQ. Awful messy way to go.
