Making a Statement.
While researching a few things on the Internet I came across articles regarding this man.
Malachi Ritscher, may you rest in peace. According to Wiki, Ritscher's self-immolation took place on the side of the Kennedy Expressway near downtown Chicago during the morning rush hour of Friday November 3, 2006. In a suicide letter published on his website, he described at length his political convictions as to the Iraq War and his choice to take his own life, suggesting at one point, "if I am required to pay for your barbaric war, I choose not to live in your world. I refuse to finance the mass murder of innocent civilians, who did nothing to threaten our country,". "... If one death can atone for anything, in any small way, to say to the world: I apologize for what we have done to you, I am ashamed for the mayhem and turmoil caused by my country."

The saddest of all is that this man wasn't identified until 5 days after his death, and unremarked by the media for more than a week. Many journalists believed his death was just another pointless act of violence or even that he was severely mentally ill. While he, himself imagined his death to be a political statement, one full of justice and purpose... Except no one was listening, making his death an act of vain rather than heroism. He went to the extreme to capture our attention... yet to most this was a death never heard of... Perhaps, he was trying to get the same attention as this
man. A monk from Vietnam, named Thich Quang Duc who protested the persecution of Buddhists by South Vietnam's Ngo Dinh Diem administration. His self-immolation in 1963 brought on world wide coverage. The worldwide attention, initially led Diem to announce reforms, which was never implemented then leading to several other Buddhist monks to follow Thich Quang Duc's example. Eventually this led to Diem's death, which then sparked a change in regime.
"My position is that I only get one death, I want it to be a good one. Wouldn't it be better to stand for something or make a statement, rather than a fiery collision with some drunk driver? Are not smokers choosing death by lung cancer? Where is the dignity there? Are not the people who disregard the environment killing themselves and future generations?" - Malachi Ritscher.
