Oh, of course for the truly zealous martyrdom is ideal. But it's hard to rig it to happen these days. You certainly can't do it to yourself directly, as suicide is a no-go.
As to purgatory and then heaven after death it doesn't work that way. Once you die you get judged once, and if you don't get into the clubhouse then you don't get a second chance later. It's all or nothing. Well, for the majority of Christians, anyway. There's all sorts of sects that would disagree with that.
The point is, to the really crazy ones like this guy quoted above this life only matters as a way to establish where you go in the next one, the one that really matters. To them death is nothing important because this life itself is nothing important.

Go to any conveniently located third-world country and try to oust the local dictator.

Pictures of the firefight in Watertown: http://www.getonhand.com/blogs....ictures
Compared to the LAPD, the BPD were saints. The bad dudes had pistols, bombs and an assault rifle stolen from the MIT officer's car.
The LAPD would have systematically set fire to the entire neighborhood and then tried to shoot each other.
That said, he took a few pictures down since i first saw this, including one that showed their driveway-parked cars shot all to hell, clearly NOT from suspect fire.

"American convert to Islam brainwashed him"

I wonder if he would have claimed his Imam brainwashed him if it had been that way.

While this might be expecting a bit much from a college student, his brain had to have been fragile as shit to buy into that kind of thing.

"They lost limbs," David Henneberry told Boston's WCVB-TV. "I lost a boat."
You win.

He appears to have donated the boat money to the victims.

I wasn't being sarcastic. I meant he was a class act.

Does boat insurance not cover getting shot to pieces? Or... police insurance?

"The Reddit staff and the millions of people on Reddit around the world deeply regret that this happened," he said.
... until the next time something newsworthy happens, then we'll throw those fuckers to the wolves, too.

Acts of assholism and douchebaggery aren't covered.

When questioned, senior administration officials said they will soon pull Hillary Clinton out of retirement to slap the table and shriek, "Three people are dead, what does it matter now???"
That was mine.
Someone else said
I find it quite remarkable that in the short span of 5 years we have evolved as a country from the era of presidents steering hurricanes to minority neighborhoods with Halliburton-controlled weather machines to the highest office in the land just being too darn complex for any one man to influence inconsequential subtleties like national security and intelligence gathering.

I was going to say this very thing.
I've said it before.... tie "age of majority" to Obamacare. As soon as they get off their parents' plan, they can stop being children.
