Hope he listened to his own Twitter advice, and enrolled in Obamacare before he set himself on fire!

A Georgia Tech graduate student who set himself on fire while apparently experimenting with bomb-making elements in his apartment last month has died, officials confirmed Thursday.
Saamer Akhshabi, an Iranian national, had burns on more than 90 percent of his body following the February 4 explosion in his apartment near the university, where Akhshabi was studying in the College of Computing.
Law enforcement officials investigating the case found in Akhshabi's apartment an apparent Molotov Cocktail and multiple plastic bottles filled with gasoline and kerosene.
Following the explosion, 26-year-old Akhshabi was taken in critical condition to Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, where he died on Thursday.
'We have worked closely with other law enforcement agencies during the investigation of this tragic incident,' Robert Connolly, interim police chief for Georgia Tech, said in an emailed statement to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. 'The FBI has relayed that, to date, they have not developed any information or evidence indicating criminal intent in this investigation.'
Law enforcement officials determined that Akhshabi wasn't a threat to the Georgia Tech community, but it remains unclear what he planned to do with the explosive material found in his apartment.

Justice probably, but not necessarily low cost. I'm sure he was in the taxpayer supported ICU in the taxpayer supported Grady Hospital. I suspect the real costs of a patient in the ICU run around $7500 a day. Burn care costs more. More fluids etc. - say another $1000 a day. So roughly 30 days of ICU care times $8500 = somewhere around $255,000 of taxpayer money.
One less screaming bearded savage.
to bad this vermin didn’t die right away saving Georgians a dime.
C’mon. 23 posts and nobody has posted the Nelson Muntz “Ha ha” graphic? What’s FR coming to?
Hope he listened to his own Twitter advice, and enrolled in Obamacare before he set himself on fire!
Why, exactly, do we fund these deliberately clueless agencies? No, no criminal intent. The guy just liked to make molotov cocktails as a hobby.
I’m still using ones left over from Y2K.
it’s ok djf, just bring them up here, we’ll take care of them.
They make a good bang and boom when shot:)
It could have been worse. He could have been trying to homeschool his kids.
You got me on the GA ping list?
Kennesaw area.
I wouldn’t think you’d be in any immediate danger, but after 12 years, I think you’ve amortized out their usefulness as preparedness supplies. Get some new ones!
Molotov cocktails made with PLASTIC bottles?
This guy was an idiot.
I’m by no means pro-administration, but could it be a possibility that LEOs are keeping any bad guy connections close to the vest to prevent tipping a cell off? Just a thought
Was he a muslim?
You already were, you should have gotten a ping.
That saddens me...
I think I paid like 75 cents each for them back then!
What are they now, like 3 bucks a pop?
I can fill my empties if I ever need more than five at a time. Or to sell/trade if SHTF!
Yes, but it was a wonderful week and well deserved justice for what he clearly intended to do with his little arsenal. I'd take 30 years in a slam before taking a week with 90% of my body bacon crisped.
What the Gehenna are these people doing in our country?
Immigration (except for a select few actually needed in this country) must be stopped. Enemies of our country must not be admitted entrance, whether for citizenship, or for work, student, or tourist visas.
Let them blow themselves up or immolate themselves in their own countries.
Oddly enough people with extensive third degree burns supposedly don't feel a lot of pain because the nerve endings are destroyed. I suspect that he wasn't all that aware of his surroundings the last week.
