I remember the Monk setting himself alight back then.

Even then thought it was a act of stupidly.

Or..

Understand the reasoning and somewhat their belief system. Leaving this life with a statement, act to move forward toward final enlightenment nirvana heaven....

To be enjoyed the next time around..

These loons are one step away from strapping on suicide vests and blowing themselves (and others) up.
Agreed and this is what brainwashing does and most religions effectively brainwash people all the time. And some can be radicalized, especially by a violent religion like Islam and they not only willingly don suicide vests, but truly believe that they then go to heaven, virgins awaiting their arrival.......after maiming and killing several hundred people. Defies the human definition of what heaven!

As soon as the Reich-wingers can come up with something reasonable (?) to promise the cult, watch out.

I see it as a "I'll show you" "You'll be sorry" protest from a sick mind....
The poor soul believed both tRump and Biden were at the root of whatever demons that were bouncing around in his noggin.

Everything Don the Con says is, of course, a lie, yet the rubes believe everything. Sad!

I always wondered where they got the 72 heavenly virgins from? I can understand why some would think endless banging would be heaven though

That was great. Harry Chapin would've loved it.
But wait, there's more.
