Protester immolation virtually unnoticed

By Ashley M. Heher Associated Press Writer

Chicago (AP) "Malachi Ritscher envisioned his death as one full of purpose."

"At 6:30 a.m. on Nov. 3 - four days before an election caused a seismic shift in Washington politics - Ritscher, a frequent anti-war protester, stood by an off-ramp in downtown Chicago near a statue of a giant flame, set up a video camera, doused himself with gasoline and lit himself on fire."
