Lawyer sets himself on fire at Prospect Park in protest suicide against fossil fuels

SO HE CREATES A LITTLE 'GLOBAL WARMING' AND A 'TOXIC WASTE' SITE IN A PUBLIC PARK TO MAKE HIS POINT...A BREACH IN MY SENSE OF LOGIC HERE!

Some Buddhist monks would pour gas over their heads and set themselves ablaze to protest during the Vietnam war. I always thought that was a waste of a life back then.... this guy, I don't know.

They still do to protest China's occupation & interference in their affairs. As a Buddhist this is an important issue to me. There have been over 150 self-immolations in Tibet/China since 2009. The latest was on March 7th of this year. You can look at as a waste, but it's the monks' way of showing their devotion to their way of life and their spiritual leader - the Dalai Lama. They would rather die a horribly painful death than renounce either.

I do think this lawyer guy was an absolute idiot, though.

There has to be at least 6,000 better ways to make a point or oppose something than setting yourself on fire, though.

Having once labelled myself as kind of a Buddhist, too, I never understood and never respected Buddhist monks setting themselves ablaze, may it be during Vietnam or during the Chinese occupation.

The proper way to protest would be to set your enemy ablaze.

Protesting, and resisting to be forced to be or to do something one does not want to do and does not want to be, are not the same thing. Its two different things. The warrior who got defeate din battle and refusing to surrender, is not protesting when accpeting his death in a last chanceless fight. Somebody expressing his protest, not necessarily always is one who counts as a defeated.

You forgot to mention why we are suppose to care that this particular idiot lawyer killed himself. Because he is a fairy. So in truth, he didn't need to kill himself to take himself from the gene pool, he already had.

Maybe we can convience David Hogg to shoot himself with an AR-15 to protest gun violence? That would be a coup.

The idea that the left thinks I'm going to let a child, preach to me, about rights he doesn't even have the right to excersise, is just absolutely laughable at best, and a pure example of how stupid liberal logic is at worst.

Take care to not cut yourself on all that edge there.

My statements weren't meant to cut me, nor do they. They were intended to cut the other side of the coin. Nonetheless, thank you for your concern, but it isn't warranted. I don't need a Nanny, it's why I don't vote them into office.
