"The man who doused himself with gasoline and lit himself near a 25-foot-tall sculpture titled "Flame of the Millennium" was Malachi Ritscher, 52, a local musician and anti-war activist."Well, that's one less Demo vote next election.
I encourage other Lefties to follow Malachi's lead.

who are sent off to war in the name of God and country, and who give up their lives for no rational cause at all, my heart is crushed.
How ironic!

"Malachi Ritscher, 52, a local musician and anti-war activist" as well as a flaming asshole.

He did this before the election. The joke's on him.

Yep. Only among leftists can those wielding a knife and contemplating murder be described as "a gentle soul."

""Malachi was an incredible and gentle soul,""
And thats why he chose to set himself on fire? I pray we don't have to many more of these 'gentle souls'.
To: bad company
Ya know, I've been thinking about this. Now chances are this individual would still have offed himself one way or another. But do you think he would have chosen this particular method if he had not been indoctrinated with that lie that today passes for "history"?

I'm inspired. I want to do the same thing in order to make my views clear. Now I just need to find an anti-war activist to set on fire....

Perhaps we could persuade some Congressional Republican leaders, those who've led the big-government spending spree, to emulate the immolate?

There's also mention of a son "from whom he was estranged," and two grandchildren. Damn, disqualified from a Darwin.

Shame, the world has lost quite an artist. In addition to music he worked in a variety of media. Here is his bust of Elvis made out of macaroni.
I kid you not.
