A role model is someone you want people to imitate

Yes

Sacrifices like this should always be super rare. If he's inspiring others to action, then it should be mass protests (at least), not more immolations.

Imagine gatekeeping protests.

    I'd never presume to be so haughty as to prescribe to another person a form of protest, nor to disparage a meaningful and impactful act like this.
