In a case of life imitates art, a gay civil rights lawyer decided to imitate the iconic Burning Man and immolated himself to protest indifference to Global Warming.

From Fortune (ironic, since this fellow has a decidedly gloomy fortune pending.)
"David Buckel, a lawyer who spent much of his life campaigning for gay rights, died after setting himself on fire in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park early Saturday. A pair of suicide notes from Buckel described the act as a "protest suicide” intended to "bring some attention to the need for expanded actions” on climate change policy and the use of fossil fuels.

According to eyewitnesses interviewed by the New York Daily News, Buckel’s burning body was near a main entrance to the park, highly visible to Saturday-morning joggers and cyclists. Witnesses described mistaking the burning body for a mannequin before emergency services arrived.

Buckel left two notes — one describing his suicide as a protest, and a second expanding on his motivations. In the second, a copy of which was sent to the Daily News, Buckel wrote that "my early death by fossil fuel reflects what we are doing to ourselves,” suggesting he had used gasoline or a similar fuel in his suicide."

End excerpt.

Now, Buckel appears destined for hotter flames than he just experienced, given his quest to promote the mortal sin of homosexuality plus his mortal sin of suicide. And to die over a lie, which is what global warming clearly is, is a very sad thing. We should all offer prayers for the man's soul, which is in dire need. Perhaps he repented at the very end.

This is proof positive of Michael Savage's assertion that liberalism is a mental disorder.
