Just plain nuts

I'd love for someone to explain this to me. Apparently a student at Liberty University was upset that protesters might disrupt the funeral of Jerry Falwell. So upset, in fact, that he decided to take matters into his own hands:

The student, 19-year-old Mark D. Uhl of Amissville, Va., reportedly told authorities that he was making the bombs to stop protesters from disrupting the funeral service. The devices were made of a combination of gasoline and detergent, a law enforcement official told ABC News' Pierre Thomas.

Did it ever occur to Mr. Uhl that setting off bombs might be more disruptive than a little protesting? Anyone?
