IT’S COME TO THIS: Famed gay rights lawyer sets himself on fire in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park in protest suicide against fossil fuels.

David Buckel, 60, was found in the park at 6.30am on Saturday before hundreds descended on it to enjoy the warm Spring weather.

He left a note in a bag for police which read: ‘My name is David Buckel and I just killed myself by fire as a protest suicide.

‘I apologize to you for the mess.’

The note was left in an envelope labeled ‘for the police’.

He was protesting over climate change, his note read, and the dramatic method was intended as a metaphor for how fossil fuels are destroying the planet.

Ayn Rand didn’t intend for The Return of the Primitive: The Anti-Industrial Revolution to be a how-to guide.
