I think this person did what he thought was right, and I will remember him for that. And peace can’t come soon enough.
We should ask the question: is it really effective? Is anybody even talking about the guy who self-immolated in Colorado for the cause of climate change? Hell, even this event is being suppressed and swept under the rug. And those media orgs who do cover it are choosing to take up a “mental illness” angle to dismiss it.

I fully agree. I have mad respect for him, which is why I expressed my admiration and support.
