I don't know how many people have heard of the name malachi ritscher.. but basically, he protested the war in iraq by going out on the chicago expressway during rushhour, under a monument called "Flame of the Millenium" with a video camera and a sign reading

"Thou Shalt not Kill"

He fixed the camera on himself, doused himself with gasoline, and lit himself on fire.

read his story here.

I heard you, Malachi
listen to his last statement read by someone else here.

YouTube - my reading of malachi ritscher's final statement

I think this takes a lot of commitment, but like the article says.. it's easy to mistake this for an act of someone who is mentally ill. I think he was genuinely trying to get a point across.

What are your thoughts on this??
