Scott Roeder Claims More Anti-Abortion Killings On The Way
By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Terrorism
The man charged with killing abortion provider Dr. George Tiller claimed Sunday that more violence is possible while the medical procedure is allowed to continue, giving his warning in calls that also focused on complaints about his treatment in jail.Scott Roeder, being held on charges of first-degree murder and aggravated assault in Tiller’s killing one week ago, called The Associated Press from the Sedgwick County jail. [...]
“I know there are many other similar events planned around the country as long as abortion remains legal,” Roeder said.
He would not elaborate.
Won’t elaborate?
Well, we have ways of making terrorists like this talk, right?
Because the guy is obviously a domestic terrorist, makes no apologies for it and claims more killings will happen. Isn’t this exactly the type of ticking bomb scenario situation that many claim enhanced interrogation tactics can address?
So let’s get this thing done before more innocent people die!
Quick! The clock is ticking!!!
And regarding those complaints about his treatment in jail…
In two separate calls to AP on Sunday morning, Roeder was far more talkative about his treatment at the Sedgwick County jail, complaining about “deplorable conditions in solitary” where he was kept during his first three days there.Roeder said it was freezing in his cell. “I started having a bad cough. I thought I was going to have pneumonia,” he said.
He said he called AP because he wanted to emphasize the conditions in the jail so that in the future suspects would not have to endure the same conditions.
Roeder also said also wanted the public to know he has been denied phone privileges for the past two days, and needed his sleep apnea machine.
This whole situation is ironic for so many reasons.
More as it develops…

Yeah, my heart bleeds. As someone who uses the CPAP (sleep apneamachine) myself, I say don’t give it to him. I used to get awful sleep without it … don’t see why this jerkweed should be allowed to get good sleep after committing a murder and warning of more.

I don’t see any good reason NOT to do a loud, lengthy, invasive investigation on Roeder’s claims, seriously inconveniencing his friends and known associates. At the very least, it would give authorities a better idea as to which pro-life groups genuinely abhor Roeder’s actions and which ones are, in truth, not especially troubled.
I have no doubt that some small subset of the pro-life movement views Roeder and those that have come before him as heroes after a fashion. Identifying and keeping an eye on such folks makes common sense to me. How much tolerance or benign neglect of those “barely troubled” will it take to beget folk legends and foster further radicalizing?

Given the nature of his claims and crimes, a “loud, lengthy, invasive investigation on Roeder’s claims” by authorities at many levels is pretty well guaranteed. Well, at least the lengthy and invasive parts. I’m sure they’ll be thorough. They probably won’t be loud until/unless they have some solid results to move on.
Poor guy. They’re treating him like a criminal!

Be careful what you wish for, if you wish for more authority to brand Americans terrorists and go after people. You’re likely increasing your own odds of ending up in whatever they replace Guantanamo with.
That said, as far as this guy is concerned… I think a life sentence will be fine.

[...] Roeder just blowing smoke? Maybe. Maybe he just thought AP would get bored of his complaints about his jail cell and wanted to keep his iron in the media [...]

You mean to tell me, he didn’t get fleecy sheets on his bed, and a peppermint on his pillow. Would he like a bedtime story too. This anti government – anti abortion buffoon just killed a man in a church. sorry, Scott honey but you are in for a rough ride. he wants his sleep machine, well I don’t think you’ll be having that – tough it out. It’s just Scott Roeder and the cockroaches together for life and of course…beans and bread everyday.
