Quote:
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.

I remember during the Vietnam war a few Buddhists did that.

This SCOTUS clown made a lot of pollution out of that fire stunt, O well one less idiot in the country!

Haha, just like the ghetto thugs who fight the cops, I love it when these morons eliminate themselves from the gene pool.

He should’ve stuck with contemplating his navel.

and the world briefly noted his actions, and the people moved on with living their lives, unchanged by his actions.

so his actions were in vain, resulting in no change that he desired to make.

want to make a difference in life? make a difference. at the very least, pick up some trash, make the place cleaner.

A 'climate activist' self-immolating. Seeing a fair amount of irony here.

The "green" thing to do would be to take a shower with a toaster.
