I am not sure how I feel about this.

Murder is not a remedy. Being surrounded by great evil is a consequence of the human condition, while at the same time being surrounded by manifold expressions of the works of a loving, gracious and forgiving God.

My ambivalence is exacerbated by a fondness for the writings of 20th century German Pastor Dietrich Bonhoffer, who wrote of the Third Reich and its Fuehrer:

"If I see that a madman is driving a car into a group of innocent bystanders, then I can't as a Christian simply wait, comfort the wounded and bury the dead. I must try to wrest the steering wheel out of the hands of the madman.

There is no doubt that Dr. Tiller was a madman. However, a gunman who takes the law into his own hands and violates holy space on the holy day of Pentecost is equally mad.

I know how I feel about it. Tiller was a murderer who got his by being murdered.
Roeder thought he was avenging that, okay. Now he should be executed by the state.

I can't remember how I came to this understanding but ...

Wasn't Roeder basically a passionate man against abortion, albeit non violent .. until he was diagnosed with terminal cancer .... or something like that?

He took one for his beliefs!
