(Joshua Paladino, Headline USA) Climate change fanatics celebrated a man who set himself on fire and died to bring awareness to “the climate crisis,” praising his suicidal “sacrifice” as a “fearless act of compassion.”
Wynn Alan Bruce died yesterday so everyone could knock off the “happy” Earth Day crap.
His death was an act of generosity, self-sacrifice, giving his life so others might pay more attention to the degree of the threat to our climate, and what needs to be done. He’s a hero. https://t.co/ZPwi5Rv65w

Boulder, Colorado man Wynn Bruce, 50, self-immolated in front of the Supreme Court on April 22, Breitbart reported.
The Capitol Police, the Metro Police Department, and the Supreme Court Police responded to the man’s attempted suicide and airlifted him to a hospital, but he died from the burns shortly after arriving.

Bruce’s so-called friends described him as a Buddhist, denied that his self-immolation was suicide, and acknowledged that he had planned to kill himself for more than a year.
This guy was my friend. He meditated with our sangha. This act is not suicide. This is a deeply fearless act of compassion to bring attention to climate crisis. We are piecing together info but he had been planning it for atleast one year. #wynnbruce I am so moved. https://t.co/bHoRaLK6Fr

Leftist, who so often promote suicide awareness campaigns, did not hesitate to call this man an activist and martyr.
The New York Times ran a headline that elevated the man’s suicide—the type of headline that could encourage copy-cat suicides—and climate change activists defended the paper.
I invite you to pre-pitch the headline you want NYT to use when the human race collectively commits climate suicide.
Go.
We’re all committing suicide. Wynn Bruce just did it after great reflection. https://t.co/oIs9QoUu5u
