I thought about the "suicide by cop" angle. My guess is that if that was his intent he would have set things up to get a little more bang for his buck, so to speak, for maximum publicity.

Well he is getting pretty big play here. As the Christine's did. Some off shoot groups know many people visit this site and it is a cheap effective way of getting their message out. They know people here do not take this at face value so debate will ensue. The more the debate, the larger the thread(s), the more publicity is gained. The more this is has discussed, I think Matthews may have been gunning for martyrdom.
