Hey, little girl, is your daddy home?
Did he go away and leave you all alone?
I got a bad desire

Oh, oh, oh
I'm on fire….

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

He had a burning desire to leave his mark.

Followed by a burning desire for a do-over on his poor life choices, judging by the audio from that video of the immediate aftermath.

Wedding Crashers scene with Will Farrell comes to mind.

I thought this rang a bell.

You're against global warming so you burn yourself to death

Wonder if these shitheels gave a second of thought, prior to lighting up of course, to the effect that seeing someone burn alive would have on bystanders and especially on the paramedics and other responders who would have to deal with the result. I really don't want to know what the smell of charred flesh in the confined space of the back of an ambulance or helicopter would be like.

I don't want that seared into my memory. (Hey, I'm doing it too!)




I hate offended people. They come in two flavours - huffy and whiny - and it's hard to know which is worst. The huffy ones are self-important, narcissistic authoritarians in love with the sound of their own booming disapproval, while the whiny, sparrowlike ones are so annoying and sickly and ill-equipped for life on Earth you just want to smack them round the head until they stop crying and grow up.

Not suicide?

Yeah, sure.

Yes, it's preposterous for this "Dr. Kritee" to say that this was not a suicde. In the textbook sense of the word, this was a suicide:

sui·​cide | \ ˈsü-ə-ˌsīd

Definition of suicide:

1a : the act or an instance of taking one's own life voluntarily and intentionally


The man's friends and family can assign to his actions whatever meaning or purpose they wish or believe, but this was a suicide by immolation. Period.

I've been advocating that all these people who hate themselves just punch their own ticket to save the planet.
I applaud this man's dedication and feel he sets a wonderful example for other like minded folks to follow.

These climate terrorist should all do this. We need immediate action and the death of a large segment of the population could give us the breathing room we need to get a handle on this carbon crisis. Very selfless of these folks to help save us all.

Maybe he just thought it would be good to live the rest of this life in agony as a form of protest. But I guess he accomplished that too, didn't he?

Who has the signature line… “Set a man on fire, keep them warm for life “?

Ok ok I’ll see myself out …
