Fiery Gay Marriage Opponent Who Torched Cheerios, General Mills Lawn Dies

http://www.thesmokinggun.com/buster/cheerios-burning-protester-dies-867934

The gay marriage opponent whose recent fiery, videotaped protest outside General Mills gained national attention--and triggered a criminal investigation--died over the weekend, according to police.

--snip--

In a video shot by one of his sons, Leisner, a father of four, is seen trying to set fire to a bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios. But Leisner, carrying a blowtorch, accidentally set fire to the lawn outside the entrance to the corporate park. When he failed to stomp out the flames, Leisner told his son, “Quick, get in the car.” They apparently fled while a section of the lawn was still on fire.
