Insane climate activist sets himself on fire as DC Metro cop tries to put him out with a road cone

Wynn Bruce

A climate activist set himself on fire at the steps of the US Supreme Court because the United States is 24th in the world's carbon emissions and that just wasn't good enough for this obviously mentally ill person.

His name is Wynn Bruce and he died on Earth Day, a holiday co-founded by Ira Samual Einhorn,  [aka: "The Unicorn Killer" who killed Holly Maddux, his ex-girlfriend, in 1977 and used her body for compost]. Breaking up was obviously hard to do for Ira and he never let anything go to waste.

Anyway, Mr. Bruce, 50, apparently wanted to draw attention to what he viewed as the climate crisis. Setting himself on fire seemed like a good idea to do just that and yes, it worked.

Bruce was from Boulder, Colorado a far-left dominated city in the Rocky Mountains. He was airlifted to a hospital at around 6:30 pm, after the flames went out, but he died the following day, according to the Metropolitan Police Dept. of Washington, D.C. 

Sadly, as stupid as the act was, it must have been horribly painful.

“This act is not suicide,” Zen Buddhist priest, liar, and Environmental Defense Fund scientist Dr. Kritee Kanko, who described herself as Bruce’s friend, wrote on Twitter. “This is a deeply fearless act of compassion to bring attention to climate crisis.” 

No, it was a narcissistic act and it gave a bad name to climate activists.

Bruce's immolation, in part, leaves a large carbon footprint and is not the best way to keep carbon emissions down. A sign pointing out the climate crisis held over his head, and maybe scream at people walking by, might have been a better option.

Kanko said that Bruce had been planning the act for at least one year and she didn't try to stop him yet still calls herself his friend. 

"What is the sound of one hand burning?"

Bruce’s Facebook posts  depict his concern about climate change and his plans to self-immolate. Maybe it was a cry for help, but none of his so-called "friends" came to the rescue of this disturbed individual.

Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, DC spokeswoman Brianna Burch told The Denver Post that, as far as she knew, no suicide note or manifesto was found near Bruce’s body and that the police were still investigating his motive.

Kanko also told The New York Times that she was not certain of Bruce’s intentions but added that “people are being driven to extreme amounts of climate grief and despair.” 

Thanks to rags like The New York Times.

“[W]hat I do not want to happen is that young people start thinking about self-immolation,” she added.

Why not? Using her logic, it was a fearless act of compassion.

But of course, it isn't. It's a form of mental unrest, or mental illness.
