It's interesting, isn't it folks? The outrage over the death of a man who spent his career with babies' blood on his hands, squeezing the life from their tiny, defenseless bodies. Versus the cone of silence around those innocent babies' deaths at Tiller's hands.
The outrage is partially over the violation of US laws, partially over murder, and partially over how this murder was accomplished, as it was done in a church.
In this thread, the outrage is at your behavior. Why? Because you are talking about the rightness of murder.
Again, no I am not. I'm talking about the acceptability of the present case: an continuous killer being dead.
My view is a complex, even complicated one, I'll grant you, but I want you to understand it.
As I already stated, I'm not saying Tiller's killer made the right decision in killing him. I'm saying only what I'm saying, which is that Tiller's death isn't a bad thing.
If you put extra words in my mouth, you're no longer arguing with me or my views.
That'd be the same as hating JFK and saying that his death wasn't a bad thing. Or that someone you didn't like in high school dying and that you think their death wasn't a bad thing.
No, that would be quite different. JFK didn't kill 60,000 innocent people, and neither did any of my high school peers.
Tell me, is 60,000 just a number to you? And, since you clearly have no objection to Tiller's acts, would you be averse to seeing the corpses that make up that number?
What would be really interesting and illuminating is to have you explain why Tiller didn't deserve death while standing next to a pile of his dead victims' bodies. As should all defenders of the Holocaust stand in front of lifesize posters of the piles of dead Jews while defending Hitler's philosophy. At least have the courage to face, and literally see, what you advocate. Abortion is a silent Holocaust. This truth is barely aloud to be written on WP, as I have already been warned.
If you lectured from a podium surrounded by the bodies of Tiller's victims, we could more clearly see your point. And how wrong it is. We could all
see, with out own eyes, the results of the acts you're defending. Showing those corpses would not be permissible on Wrong Planet. But advocating that the piles grow ever higher is.
Now you're changing the argument to whether abortion is right or wrong. That is NOT what is being discussed here; What is being discussed is the fact that someone killed an unarmed man in premeditated, cold-blooded murderous thought as a way to try and kill the practice of abortion.
You can't kill an action, an idea nor a thought by killing a person (or a group of people with individual opinion). Maybe the "pro-life" movement should consider this before carrying out terrorism.
Of course, since you know all about the Nazis, you should understand that.
I never said I advocated for or against abortion. Don't try to drag this into an abortion argument; this is about following the law of the nation you pledge allegiance to - the America you claim to love.
Roeder broke the law and committed a felony; George Tiller did not - these are facts.
(Argue them if you will; George Tiller didn't shoot anyone.)
Whether or not what Roeder or Tiller did was morally right or wrong according to your religion simply does not apply.
Roeder killed an unarmed man in evil, premediated, malevolent cold blood. He will have his day in court, as provided by law.
