        Wow. The self flagellation of this insane tweet reflects perfectly the intellectual void and hatred that drives the far right. Seek help.

        This sounds suspicious to me. Why would you choose something as dramatic as burning yourself to death only to be found by other people later? Does that mean he didn't do this in a very public place because then what's the point of that particular method?

        They found a suicide note. I'm sure once it was released you'll know why he burned himself like a monk

        I read about the suicide note. I'm just saying where he did it and how he did it doesn't make sense with the suicide note. If you're going to fake it not being a murder then you put a suicide note.

        Everything is not a conspiracy If you're going to murder someone burning them is ridiculous. If you killed them before the autopsy will show that

        I'm aware of how autopsies work, thanks. Also aware not everything is a conspiracy. Just think it seems odd to do such a flamboyant protestful method of death with no one there. It's not worth getting all upset over.

        Kajieme Powell self-immolated by walking toward police, looked back to see bystanders and moved sideways so they wouldn't get shot to show how police fear people of color. Kajieme didn't get an article like this written about him.pic.twitter.com/ocMYJgZj4J
