US president Barack Obama has said he is shocked and outraged at the murder of a top doctor who performed late-term abortions.
Dr George Tiller, the object of decades of protests and attacks, was shot dead in front of his wife in a Kansas church where he was serving as an usher.
A 51-year-old man was arrested 170 miles away in Kansas City three hours after the shooting on Sunday.
Johnson County sheriff's spokesman Tom Erickson identified the suspect as Scott Roeder.

They only think he has been outraged about all week.
A normal presidential reaction to such a crime, eh? /s
More like, "just damn, 6,000 fewer abortions then I promised".
John Brown’s body lies a-mold’ring in the grave

John Brown’s body lies a-mold’ring in the grave
His soul goes marching on
Glory, Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory, Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory, Glory! Hallelujah!
His soul is marching on
He captured Harper’s Ferry with his nineteen men so true
He frightened old Virginia till she trembled

They hung him for a traitor, themselves the traitor crew
His soul is marching on
Glory, Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory, Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory, Glory! Hallelujah!
His soul is marching on
John Brown died that the slave might be free,
John Brown died that the slave might be free,
John Brown died that the slave might be free,
But his soul is marching on!
Glory, Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory, Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory, Glory! Hallelujah!
His soul is marching on
The stars above in Heaven are looking kindly down
The stars above in Heaven are looking kindly down

Think about the math for a minute.
He would have had to have averaged 56.7 MPH from the second he fired the shot to the second the police picked him up 4 hours later 170 miles away.
Not an impossible feat, but not an easy one.
How did they know who it was, and how did they know where he was?
Something doesn’t add up yet.
Yeah it’s wrong and all, just like shooting a brutal dictator in a coup would be wrong, even though it is the right thing to do.
The boy who blocked the Infant Born Alive Protection Act is outraged about a the murder of a mass murderer? Things are getting curiouser and curiouser. Don’t you love it when the amoral and immoral become “morally outraged”? A laugh a minute.
Dozens of people are murdered every day in America. I guess Obama felt compelled to comment on this one because of politics.
At least he wasn't caught speeding...that would have been a Napolitano level offense.
What criteria was used to arrive at this superlative? Volume and/or technique?
I’m shocked and angered too.
But no more shocked and outraged that Tiller was allowed to maintain a multi-year killing spree.
To have killed this “man” is a sin. The perp should be brought to justice and punished.
But there is another killer whose punishment is just beginning.
> 4 hours later 170 miles away
I meant THREE hours later, as per the article.
Fumble fingers.
But 170 miles / 3 hours = 56.7 mph
Not hard really. He had a vanity plate, they had his liscence plate and a description of the car. Given that the police have a modern communications capability it’s not surprising.
I kinda agree that it doesn’t add up completely...BUT do you really think that a killer is going to obey the speed limit?
He is a pre-planned patsy. This is a setup.
The left murdered the doctor to secure their power base, get rid of guns and end all opposition to abortion.
I’m not going to shed a tear for this monster but I do find it upsetting that his assassin chose a church on a Sunday morning to perform this deed. A church should be a holy place, not a sniper’s den. I hope they prosecute the killer to the fullest extent of the law. I understand what must have motivated this (much like the Slepian murder) but I don’t condone the killing of a man in church nor that anyone had to resort to violence. In one way, you could say this execution was performed because the state didn’t do their jobs and put him away the legal way.
So BO commented on this, what a surprise, I figured he would be too busy kissing Islamo-fascist rump to notice.
