I'm going to have to go with Schade here.  While I can't see myself doing something like this, I can see the rational behind it.  By taking one life you could save many...
I think I may have watched Boondock Saints one to many times  :p

I don't condone Roeder's actions, but I can see the rational behind them.

You stated it much better than me. It has been a bloody awful exhausted mess of a week this week, I can hardly see straight and I get waterboarded by BEG on my first post.  :-)

I didn't say I had sympathy for the man.  I am not trying to offend but unless you could physically do what Scott Roeder did then I don't think you can say you TRULY understand his frame of mind.  It's easy to sit on the bleachers and cheer him on, it's another thing to do it yourself.

You didn't preface your post and inform me to treat you gently.  If you did I wouldn't have waterboarded you.  :-)

You ladies are too much.  Really.  Can I bring a video camera, or is this strictly still photography only?

I think what I am saying is murder is murder, but I can comprehend and to some extent defend Roeder's rationale over that of say Tiller's. I can also understand why a soldier might kill a combatant when I know they are crushing  evil even if I think I might be unable to grab arms and kill someone.

OK I get your point.   I just think he hurt the cause much more than he helped.

Oh yeah, I can totally agree with that.

If this happens with increasing frequency no one is going to volunteer to kill off babies anymore.  I already think that these men and women that do this are sociopaths.  They would really have to be insane to know they are on hit lists and still do it.
All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.
