Comments on: Fiery Anti-War Suicide Goes Unnoticed

Iraq War Foe Sets Himself Ablaze In Chicago, But It Takes 5 Days To Identify His Body

Yeah, let's laud this as a case of martyrdom for a cause...oh wait...isn't that how suicide bombers rationalize their idiocy?

There's nothing to respect about a suicidal maniac. I hope his suicide continues to go unnoticed. Killing yourself is not the way to change the world. I wouldn't want my children thinking that this is an acceptable way to prove a point--I hope his death continues to go unnoticed.

There are plenty of activists who display courage and integrity every day, who work hard and try to change things the RIGHT way who deserve the attention of the press. This guy deserves no attention, except to call attention to his stupidity. (Or mental illness--whatever the case may be.)

has anyone read the story of the Peace Sign A Symbol Of Satan? Well I think that is all B.S and we should email the home owners association at this address http://www.plpoa.com/contact.htm

Well, in a few day, people may not remember his name but I'm pretty sure most people will still remember his cause (that we are in Iraq). I'm pretty sure no one will forget Iraq :)

This is a good way for anti-war protesters to experience what it felt like in the World Trade Center on 9/11. I think they should all do it.

Well at least he did what he said he was goig to do, mission accomplished

Freakin' nut job. My concern would have been for children that may have witnessed his stupid stunt. They don't need to see this kind of trash.

Suicide is such a selfish act no matter what the circumstance may be.

The fact that his suicide went largely unnoticed speaks volumes.

Another nut case, in a few days no one will even remember his name let alone his cause.

I may not agree with his take on the war, but I respect his commitment to opposing the war.
