Suspect supported killing abortion providers, friends say

That's rather obvious.

This is a case of a killer killing a another killer. No one wins.

Let's face it. There's not much mourning going on today over Tillers death. It's hard to find any sadness in this story.

His national reputation for being "Tiller the Baby Killer" proceeded him. Only the most blood thirsty among us would miss this awful man. It's like missing Jack the Ripper.

Scott Roeder .... John Brown of 2009.

He is nuts and this will give AG Janet reasoning to brand US citizens as terrorists. A nut is a nut. This is a crying shame.

If Roeder believed so much in his cause, why did he flee? Why not courageously stand there and take credit for the deed.

Ah yes. The predictable tale of the wacko gunman, replete with fitting quotes, "he was always a little strange."

I guess these bios became formulaic after Lee Harvey Oswald.

...said Regina Dinwiddie, a Kansas City anti-abortion activist who made headlines in 1995 when she was ordered by a federal judge to stop using a bullhorn within 500 feet of any abortion clinic.

First Amendment violated, some moved on to the Second.

All these stories make it sound like the pro-life movement is heinous because it grows kooks like this by TALKING about how horrible abortion is.

If that's the case, how do the folks doing this accusing explain murderers like Charles Manson, and his followers, or the Zodiac Killer? They didn't do their killing for any political or religious purpose, they were just sick twisted individuals who killed totally innocent people, for no reason at all.

Could be that the man who killed Tiller was always bent, and didn't need the pro-life movement to push him that last little way.

"Freemen" was a term adopted by those who claimed sovereignty from government jurisdiction and operated under their own legal system, which they called common-law courts. Adherents declared themselves exempt from laws, regulations and taxes and often filed liens against judges, prosecutors and others, claiming that money was owed to them as compensation.

So he's a pro-life, left-wing extremist.
