Activist lawyer burned himself to death to protest global warming
By Gwynne Hogan and Amanda Woods April 14, 2018 | 6:33pm | Updated
A “green” activist who was a pioneering lawyer for gay and transgender rights — including in the notorious “Boys Don’t Cry” rape murder case — committed suicide by setting himself on fire Saturday morning in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park in a grisly act of protest against the ecological destruction of the Earth.

David Buckel, 60, left behind a charred corpse and a typed suicide note that said he was burning himself to death using “fossil fuel” to reflect how mankind was likewise killing itself, police sources said.

He left the note in a manila envelope marked “To The Police,” recovered from inside a black metal pushcart he discarded at the scene.


“Most humans on the planet now breathe air made unhealthy by fossil fuels, and many die early deaths as a result,” Buckel wrote in his note, which he also sent to the New York Times.

“My early death by fossil fuel reflects what we are doing to ourselves.”

He added, “Honorable purpose in life invites honorable purpose in death.”

Passers-by were horrified to see Buckel’s burned remains.

“It was just lying there, on its back, knees slightly bent like someone would lie on the sand at the beach,” said Irena Ryjova, 44, a rollerblader who passed by at about 7 a.m., less than an hour after the immolation.

“It’s a shock; it’s a shame,” said mom Dana Lall as she shepherded a crowd of Catholic-school kids past the horrific scene, en route to a baseball game.

As a senior attorney with Lambda Legal defense, Buckel was a lead lawyer in a 2000 lawsuit on behalf of transgender “Boys Don’t Cry” rape-murder victim Brandon Teena, helping the family recover additional damages from neglectful Nebraska law enforcement.

The 1999 movie earned Hilary Swank an Oscar for her portrayal of Teena.

“It’s a very important case, not only within Nebraska but nationally,” Buckel had told the Daily Nebraskan newspaper in 2001, ­after helping win an $80,000 judgment.


He also fought for the right of gay high school students in Salt Lake City to organize a club, and argued against discrimination in the Boy Scouts of America and the military.

“The thoroughness, the detail and the careful reasoning in the opinion means that other courts around the nation will be paying attention,” he said.

“The news of David Buckel’s death is heartbreaking,” the group tweeted Saturday night.

“This is a tremendous loss for our Lambda Legal family, but also for the entire movement for social justice.”

In another pivotal case, Buckel won a New Jersey Supreme Court ruling in 2006 acknowledging that gay couples are entitled to the same legal rights and financial benefits as heterosexual married couples.

Fitting end for a nutcase SJW. Too bad he left his charred corpse for others to clean up.

He didn't want "humans on this planet to breathe unhealthy air", I wonder how the hundreds or possibly thousands enjoyed the smell of his body smoldering. Nothing like the inhaling a burning body first thing in the morning with your coffee.

“I am afraid the strain was more than he could bear.”


And instead of smelling like victory, it must’ve smelled like da feet.

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

I was only joking when I told him to go set himself on fire.

I like his enthusiasm. A real self-starter! I wish all liberals felt this strongly about global warming. Maybe then we wouldn't have to deal with their stupid sh!t anymore. I hope more "people" will follow his example. Degenerate leftists are literally killing themselves, saving us the trouble.

I finally found out what LGBTQ stands for, Let God Burn Them Quickly. Am I the only one who finds this ironic since he's in hell right now burning with his fellow gays?

Sadly, David Buckel shared a common trait with most liberals in that he let his emotions guide his actions and not reason and logic. The man could have had a positive impact on mankind, but he let his emotions get the best of him.

Once he got fired up about an issue, there was no stopping him. He may be gone, but his message hasn't been extinguished.

Afraid you are wrong O' Conservative One....

LGBT stands for Liquor, Guns, Bacon and Tits...and "Hell" only exists within 500' of my ex-wife..
