Yeah, I never thought that someone who grew up in a well-developed country would behave that way.

lol well I don't think there's any confusion here

Mr. Moron, Esq evidently suffered from some sort of mental illness which caused him to believe that lighting himself on fire was a good idea. He thought that burning flesh would stop pollution, or something logical like that

He had an unhealthy obsession with environmental issues. There's nothing wrong with wanting to make whatever political change, but a lot of these people forget to take care of their own mental and physical health. It's sad he killed himself, but that changes nothing in the world.

In a way he just made leftist SJW look even stupider. Setting yourself on fire because you couldn't instantly change the world into your image is not the answer for a person in their right mind.

Yeah but its pretty messed up that in his way of thinking, self-immolation was the best option. Same with the cab driver that committed suicide in front of City Hall. It's sad. That's why I don't take anything for granted.

The movements they are in can be cultish, and you do have to be wary of political movements. I remember an OLD HIV positive guy from Occupy Wall Street. As a part of a protest he not only stopped his medication, he stopped eating. He looked horrible and was close to looking like Skeletor from Masters of the Universe. Upon eating and gaining wait his body was misshapen and busted looking.

For all we know someone manipulated the cab driver AND this lawyer into doing this. There are definitely people would exploit and sacrifice mentally ill people for political movements. No different from the terrorists, whether right wing American or jihadists.
