Abortion Doctor Killer Gets His Due

It only took 37 minutes for the jury to convict Scott Roeder of the first-degree murder of Dr. George R. Tiller. A pretty fast and decisive decision in Kansas, a state with a loud and active group of insane anti-abortionists who will go to extreme lengths to prevent killing unborn fetuses - even murder.

Abortion rights supporters lauded the ruling, saying it sends a strong, unambiguous message to others who believe violence against abortion doctors is justified that such acts will be punished. Abortion opponents, meanwhile, said that Mr. Roeder — who admitted to the killing in open court but said that was the only way he could stop the deaths of babies — had not received a fair trial, and that the outcome would only encourage more violence.

No doubt Roeder feels he was just following orders - from God.

    Roeder is a theocratic terrorist, just as much as Osama bin Laden or Shamil Basayev.

  4. Listening to the voices in your head, can be hazardous to your freedom. 37 minutes for the decision, I don't think with a modern court system, it could be any quicker.

  5. I found a morbid, yet humorous irony in this clowns defense strategy. He basically said only God has the right to take a life and that's why he(Roeder) killed Dr. Tiller.

  6. Holte: I'm surprised his attorney didn't go for an insanity plea.

    Truth: God acts in mysterious ways.

    The defendant may have forbidden it. In other cases I've read of where murderers were motivated by religious mania, they sometimes preferred to risk execution than admit they were crazy.

  8. They tried to go for justifiable homicide. But the judge finally ruled against them last night... Thank him for that... I was worried for the judge.. he is a pro life advocate himself and some were afraid he would have a conflict of interest in the rendering.. but he ruled fairly.

    I think the most shocking thing to me was when the idiot was on the stand and stated he thought about using a machete or a sword of some kind to cut his hands off instead of killing him. That's just sick.. sick and wrong.

  10. All I can say is, thank the jury they evidently decided in record time that this guy is crazier than a shithouse rat and had zero business being out in public. BTW, crazier than a shithouse rat does not equate to severe mental illness wherein Roeder wouldn't know right from wrong...Some of the stuff this guy talked about was just creepy as all get out. He evidently confessed that he had thought of just maiming Tiller, maybe cutting off his hands, blinding him, etc., but then decided that shooting him in the head was easier. That is serial killer sick.

  11. Infidel: Or they think they're a martyr.

    Annette: He does sound a bit twisted. I'm sure he strongly believes it was for a just cause.

    jadedj: be careful. Lightening will strike you - at least when it's stormy.

  12. Bee: Annette was just saying that. I hadn't heard it before. I only got this small tidbit in my email and didn't see the full article.

    The guy is obviously a masochistic nut case.

  13. Leslie, here is a link to the msnbc.com article I read this afternoon, where they talk about yesterday's testimony by Roeder...he talked about earlier thoughts of cutting off Tiller's hands, crashing a car into him, etc...really, really sick sick sick stuff.

  14. Bee: Thanks a bunch. Unfortunately the link doesn't work.

  15. Bee: I found it. He is a sicko but this graph also got to me:

    Roeder's attorneys were hoping to get a lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter for Roeder, a defense that would have required them to show that Roeder had an "unreasonable but honest belief that deadly force was justified."

  16. Oh, yeah, they were basing their request on a Kansas law that, if I understand correctly, was designed to protect someone who kills another out of an immediate perceived danger to another 3rd party from ending up with life in prison. Roeder's attorneys pushed their luck with that reasoning, but the judge still allowed it - a dangerous game the judge was playing, IMHO.
