Chicago musician Malachi Ritscher wanted his death to be full of meaning. He set himself on fire in full view of morning rush hour traffic to protest the war in Iraq, leaving an emotional suicide note on his website. But for awhile, no one even knew about it. But now, some of his fellow Chicagoans are taking up his cause. Chicago Public Radio reporter Jenny Lawton has the story.
