We don't even know what he was trying to protest, either.

There's very little the Supreme Court has done lately that isn't worth protesting, so take your pick, I guess.

There was a heated debate about it. All arguments about listening to him were extinguished; one could almost call it a smoke show.

Reminds me of Thch Qung c, the monk who also set himself on fire to protest. That said, he at least made his reason known first. *eye roll*

He evidently talked a lot about the environment on this social media, so it might have been something to do with that. Is there some kind of climate-related case that SCOTUS is hearing?

You can't even feel bad for the guy because he did it to his own damn self. It's mostly just... why the fuck?

It's not really that amazing. He made a spectacle of his own suicide, and that's about it.

Thank you for posting that. At least now his message got here.

On a note of this sort of thing.
I get being that impassioned but...you basically just made a bunch of people watch a man burn alive, and that's REALLY messed up, especially if children saw.

And let's be honest, this individual death isn't going to do anything sadly.
So scarred people likely for nothing.

There's nothing I believe so fiercely I'd torch myself for it.

Bad as hell.

Imagine protesting climate change by setting yourself on fire thereby contributing to screwing up the climate however minute it may be.

Timing is everything

Alternatively: don't kill yourself. But hey what do I know? I'm just a guy who didn't set himself on fire.
