Point of clarification. This wasn't a premeditated protest AFAIK. When two marines came to his door and informed him of his son's death, he was so immediately overcome that he grabbed a gas can, ran to a car, emptied the contents of the gas can, locked himself inside the car, and lit a match. Literally, 2 seconds of thought.
