Do you have any factual basis of your opinions? For instance, that Bushnell was mentally ill? He may have been, but it's not facially self-evident to me. Had done other things that indicate mental illness? Was he diagnosed? Are you qualified to diagnose? I'm open to the argument, but you're not offering any data.

Fundamentally I don't believe anyone in a fully healthy state of mind self-immolates. Even if you believe a bunch of kind of loopy stuff about the political situation, a rational mind doesn't conclude, "And therefore the _best_ course of action, the way I can 'raise awareness' and change the world toward more justice, is to _set myself on fire_." But you're welcome to split hairs about that if you want.
