I doubt Chicago is pondering this. I can tell you, no one in the burbs is.
However, there may be some Leftist in the city pondering whether he could have killed himself without consuming fossil fuels.

And killing himself made the world a better place, how exactly? What I read was the half-baked rant of a raving lunatic with all the answers. He is so sure America was wrong that he never once stopped in his life to ask what his country might have done right. And in such mindless certitude, he went up in flames. The world will not miss Malachi Ritscher's presence.

...Ritscher dropped out of high school... Ignorant, mentally deranged know-nothing. But he wants to tell us how the world should be run. Loser would've fit right in in Hollywood. We're better off without him.

Yet more proof that moonbat leftism is a mental disease.

Liberalism can get you killed - literally.

Most liberals I know are arrogant. Seems this guy was as well. The ultimate arrogance is to die by self-immolation in order to get attention. Talk about going down in flames.
To: facedown; lowbridge
Yes, he was full of something, all right, but it wasn't "purpose."
To: lowbridge
Gee, now that he's dead he can vote multiple times in Cook County.
Funny how these guys don't immolate themselves over millions of innocent people killed by Muslim leaders like Saddam, Khomeini, or Arafat, or who will be killed in the future by Ahimenutjob in Iran.
Yes, only the evil Bush and Rumsfeld must be vilified.
Well, lefties in Chitown can build a new monument--one to this guy's warped sense of right and wrong and his utter stupiditiy.

Ritscher's one big mistake:
Failing to call AP and ask for a cameraman to be
at the bridge at 6:30 AM to film "a newsworthy event".
Worth another Pulitzer...at least.

Malachi Ritscher My actions should be self-explanatory, and since in our self-obsessed culture words seldom match the deed, writing a mission statement would seem questionable. So judge me by my actions. Maybe some will be scared enough to wake from their walking dream state - am I therefore a martyr or terrorist? I would prefer to be thoug........... their lives it is now difficult to feel anything other than pity for them.
Without fear I go now to God - your future is what you will choose today.
I'm soryy, all I heard was ...blah, blah, blah....could you repeat that...

Just ate a great meal of fried chicken sprinkled with red hot sauce, and a Romaine lettuce salad, with yellow tomatoes, onions, celery, and crushed tortilla chips, topped with a wine vinegar dressing. Enjoyed a side dish of pepper jack cheese and crackers, followed by a dessert of cranberry relish. Yum! I'm envious. I'm still eating leftovers from Thanksgiving.

Nor am I depressed because because the GOP lost, but I am heartsick that the Rats won. I am also fearful for our nation.
