You're on twatter now?? Never thought I would see the day.
Not in our culture. If you're going to give up your life for a cause, it better accomplish something, like at least try to save a life or vanquish a powerful enemy. This guy affected nothing. What was going on in his life that this was the most positive goal he could come up with? He was not thinking straight. Did he not have friends or family? Sad that he killed himself, but he's not a hero.
That's what he imagined, but it was unnecessary since that issue already has plenty of attention. His actions won't save anyone or affect what happens next. In a few days, maybe a week, he'll be forgotten...but he'll remain dead forever.
