They killed George Tiller....

So do you prase the man who ended it for doing what he did?
One does not necessarily follow, murder is murder. Even if I believe that the next door neighbor is a murderer, it doesn't make it less of a murder if I then take it into my own hands to do something about him.

We'll extend your question.

If you believe your next door neighbor is a serial killer, does it make it okay to walk into a church and gun him down? What if you believed that he was a serial killer of 7 year olds, is it okay then?

If I know someone is killing kids, they admit to it, and the government will not do anything about it.... and I know he is going to do it again tomorrow and again tomorrow and again... I'd likely gun him down myself.

And you would be a fringe weirdo, bereft of support from the mainstream of people who even believe in your cause. Much like this case.

Instead the vast majority 99.99999% of the people who think this activity is wrong choose to work to get it so that the activity is curtailed by the law, rather than by direct illegal action such as terrorist attacks in churches.
 
What would you do in that situation? Let the guy keep killing kids?
It depends entirely on the situation. In this case it is sanctioned by the law and even promoted as something good by a section of society and people have the legal right to make a profit at it.

Working towards curtailing the activity by law would be the first step, otherwise all you've done is make a job opening for another brave soul who would step up to the plate despite your terrorist activity.

It would be best to first change the law that allows it before taking the steps of vigilantism and terrorism. In fact it can't be vigilantism until the law is changed, all it can be is terrorism.

I can agree with that.... But murder is murder, if you belive its murder you have a moral obligation to stop it. You made a good point, that by killing this one guy you are not stopping the activity.

If you believe that it is murder, then you believe that the killing of the Doctor was also murder and ineffective and contrary to the cause of curtailing the activity.

The man who did this was a frustrated fool and harmed the work towards changing the law and made it more likely that the activity will be sanctioned by law for a longer period. Simply striking out in frustration is almost never beneficial to such work.

not murder but an assassination as a terrorist act
 
As I've already said, you are a known ignorant buffoon who thinks everyone is as rock solid ignorant as you are.

"There may be a lot who would say, 'Oh that is mean. You shouldn't be that way,'" Drake said. "Well, no, it's an answer to prayer."

Just because you're too stupid to interpret what that said doesn't mean that everyone is as ignorant as you are.

.. and yes, you're a fucking Jesus freak.

.. and in case you're too dumb to remember what you post ..



Your agreement with my posts is not required.

Seems to me, you just admitted that what you claimed was never said, and you INTERPRETED it from what was said. That was my point, and I appreciate you admitting I was right and you were wrong on that.

NOPE .. It means exactly what I said it means.

Your agreement is not required.

Yeah, I know... and what you said was, the assertion that people on the right condoned and supported the killing of Tiller, was INTERPRETED by what this reverend said. You inferred your own meaning to his words, you made the assumptions about what he was saying, you drew the conclusions based on your interpretation of what he said, not what he actually said. That is what I said you did all along, and you admit it here. So thanks for admitting you were wrong and I was right. You're absolutely right, I don't have to agree with your interpretation and conclusions, and I don't!
