She Still Doesn't Quite Get This "Murder Is Wrong" Thing

First of all, I'd like to say to Scott Roeder: Just shut up.

You killed a man and lost just about all of your credibility. Quit while you're ahead. Please!

Just about all?

Their Next Target?

A late-term abortionist [LeRoy Carhart] has said he will perform limited late-term abortions in Nebraska and plans to open a Kansas facility, too. His announcement comes on the heels of the murder of Wichita abortionist George Tiller.

By the way: what's the difference between Abdulhakim Muhammad and Scott Roeder? Answer: only one is facing terrorism charges.

Guess which one.

A Few Random Notes

Believe it or don't, but LifesiteNews' portrait of Scott P. Roeder, the man who gunned down George Tiller, is fairly decent. Ignore the self-serving bits, I haven't read as detailed an account of Roeder's early life anywhere else.

Plus: Girls Gone Mathy! The gender gap in male vs. female math scores has closed in the mid-and lower range of the achievement scale, and is now closing at the upper end. Furthermore, the gap still remaining can be best explained as a result of overall gender inequality in the countries under study.

"Society either sends a message that girls can excel at math, that they will be rewarded for doing so—or it doesn’t."

File Under: Not Surprising

From Western Standard:

According to news reports, police have detained a suspect in Dr. Tiller's murder. The suspect, Scott Roeder has connections to Operation Rescue, as documented here (yes, normally I would have qualms about the source, but everything is well supported with supplementary links.)

It appears that Roeder is also a tax protestor, linked to the Montana Freemen, a group that -- if not exactly libertarian -- espouses libertarian-like views about individual sovereignty and the illegitimacy of government.

FWIW, wiki describes the Freemen as a "Christian Patriot" group. Quite a few of its members are doing time.

Quite a "nuanced" discussion over at the Western Standard. Of course murder is wrong, and yada yada yada...

Meanwhile this report is looking quite prescient.
