Chicago Indymedia has learned that on Friday, November 3 local music and art afficianado and peace advocate Malachi Ritscher burned himself to death on the side of the Kennedy Expressway near downtown Chicago during the morning rush hour.
Chicago Indymedia is also proud to present the Chicago premiere of the noted documentary directed by David Martinez, "500 Miles to Bablyon."

Protesters refused to back off after the arrests, and Chicago Otra led a delegation (and a Indymedia videographer) into the consulate to demand the removal of occupying federal forces from Oaxaca and justice for those killed by police and PRI gunmen loyal to the corrupt state government of Ulises Ruiz.

The Reader is Chicago's alternative weekly, the city's primary resource on music, art, politics, culture, and nightlife.
In Chicago, which then had four daily newspapers, the Reader chose to ignore the “news” and concentrate instead on the texture of life in the city: there was already plenty of politics, crime, and celebrities in the papers, so we offered features about everyday life and ordinary people.
Today the Reader, unlike most of its peers in major markets, remains under independent ownership, and it is one of the acknowledged leaders of the alternative press.

After all, the Reader headlined its cover story about the strip with the phrase "Movin' On Up." Unless they're referencing the (excellent) song by The M People, I assume they're trying to make some connection to The Jeffersons here.
