"I am going to kill myself for peace?"

Has anyone else heard of this?

My name is Christopher. My name means, “Bearer of Christ.” I attended UC Santa Cruz until it became too expensive for my family to afford. Americans like baseball, so let me try to explain myself with a baseball analogy: 9/11 was strike 1, the War was strike 2, Katrina was strike 3, and Virginia Tech was too much. No more for me. I don’t want to play anymore.

As a human, I feel I have the right to live free from fear, free from powerdrunk hate-mongers, free from the voices inside our collective conscience suggesting we commit grand crimes for our countries.

On May 3rd, 2007, at 3:07 PM PST in front of a busy gas station in Livermore, CA, I am going to kill myself for peace to prove the futility of fighting a War for Peace. Shortly afterwards, I will read a statement regarding my sacrifice. It will basically say, “Chris died for peace.”

Find the original web page here and decide for yourself if this is something that is really going to happen? Wikipedia: Self-immolation.


  • Just some guy

    First he kills himself, THEN reads the statement? Not big on planning, is he?

    “I am going to kill myself for peace to prove the futility of fighting a War for Peace. Shortly afterwards, I will read a statement regarding my sacrifice.”

    Shortly afterwards he is going to a read a statement? I think he accidentally dropped the “T” from his first name.

    If he wants to kill himself, he’s a fool, but no skin off my nose.

    But if he immolates himself in front of a busy gas station, that could easily cause a disaster. And people will curse his name.

    I don’t know how he’s going to read his or anyone else’s statement for that matter shortly afterwards, he’s dead.

    tts probably a marketing gimmick, he’ll just stop his heart (dead) and start it again (alive).

    @Kevin

    Thanks for that, I almost peed myself.

    Seriously though, people all over the planet are dying over oil or religion right now. One spoiled brat wants to kill himself because he’s tired of dealing with life, and rather than try to make it better he wants to give up? Go ahead buddy.

    “Chris died for peace.”
    yes he did, but he did not commit it on himself. The Bible also saids that those who commit murder on themselves can not be recarnated. It is the worse sin of all sins.

    this better not be a fucking Truth.com commercial or I’ll kill MYSELF… then watch some TV

    Just because they find death better than watching all this shit happen doesn’t make them a spoiled brat. A LOT of people are sheltered from things when they are younger and when it is showered upon them as they are older, they find it hard to deal with.
    He’s probably taking his sorrow and trying to make a point out of it.
    People will NOT get it though, seeing as people die everyday, and nobody is worshipping this guy at the moment. I don’t know.
    I’m not saying I agree with him though. It’s a stupid idea.

    Well it’s been 30 minutes, anyone know if he is dead or was this just a hoax?

    I actually called the local Police station to see if they were aware and I was told that the station had everything under control. They seemed to sound as though they had received quite a number of calls concerning the matter.

  • Muff

    what a turd

  • Roy

    he’s probably still busy spell checking his post mortem speech

  • sky

    found a myspace: http://www.myspace.com/megazeux his friends don’t seem too concerned, and he repeats that he will read a prepared statement AFTER dying. Sounds like an attention stunt to me.

    Odd thing is, Jesus didn’t die for peace…

    And making a speech after death? Hey, maybe he got it pre-recorded and played few moments after his death?

  • 5tifler

    I called my aunt who lives in livermore, she called the police too, and they said they were well aware of this guy…Anyways, I talked to her again today and “no Suicide”
    What an attention whore… &….Pussy!

    Peace to you all… even this pussy…

    I think he is a moron.

    Either way, I think he meant he would read the statement once he set himself on fire.
