My anger over the pathological nature of "legal" baby killing and the individuals on these threads who see Hill's crime as somehow "worse" than that of the baby killers has led me to say things on these threads that I don't really believe, just to point out the rank hypocrisy and stupidity of certain posters on these threads.
I've made my points. I'll stop using bitter sarcasm and cynicism now and state clearly:
1)Hill murdered an abortionist, and deserved the punishment meeted out to him by the state. The state has the right, recognized in 2000 years of Christian moral theology, to impose capital punishment. But In all honesty, I have reservations about the death penalty.
2) Abortion may be "legal" but it is still a crime against humanity. Though it would be unjust to try them, by ex-post-facto prosecution once abortion is again made illegal, abortionists still must pay some measure of justice for their crimes. Revoking their licences and general social ostracizing would be minimum and insufficient justice.
3) Vigiliante "justice" and ex-post-facto law cannot be tolerated in a civil society. However, neither can judicial tyrrany and legislation by judicial fiat. Civil rebellion against judicial tyranny and legislation by judicial fiat is not now unwarranted. However, it may in the future be necessary. In the context of innevitable future civil rebellion against judicial tyranny and legislation by judicial fiat it is very likely that certain individuals might engage in vigilantism and ex-post-facto justice. Don't say I didn't tell you so.
4)In the current situation of pathological legalized violence in the form of "legal" baby murdering, everyone must understand that violence will always beget more violence, outside of the abortion clinics. Expect more cases like Hill. It is axiomatic that the violence of "legal" abortion will beget further violence, usually among the intellectually/emotionally/psychologically unstable.
5) Because it is axiomatic that violence, even the violence of "legal" abortion, will always beget further violence, it is evidence of gross ignorance of human nature and Natural Law that certain folks express surprise and dismay at the actions of someone like Hill.
6) Furthermore, to express more outrage at Hill's crime than the pathological violence ("legal" abortion) that precipitated Hill's crime is a symptom of a culture that has completely lost its moral compass and is on the straight and narrow path to self destruction.
Excuse me, but who the ____ have you seen "supporting mass murder of children"?
That's one hell of a leap.
Sorry, there are not different degrees of intentional murder.
Only because they are uneducated.
It's times like this I wish dueling was still legal. Then people would at least disagree with some civility.
We'll see.
No.
Have you never read he came not to bring peace but a sword?
Wow. Some sword he used. Why, he must've killed gazillions of sinners with it...oh, waitaminute, he didn't, nevermind.
If evil people don't hate your guts...you're doing it wrong.
If you work to ensure that evil people do not repent...you're REALLY doing it wrong.
I'm sure He'll be real impressed with your "winning them to Jesus" doctrine though.
Since I've actually managed to do that (a few former clinic escorts and a nurse are now some of the best prayer warriors and sidewalk counselors I know), I think he will be.
How many souls have YOU won for Christ, sonny-boy?
So the earned a bullet too? Where does the chain of liability for abortion stop? How about the teller at the bank where he makes his deposits, the FedEx delivery guy, the medical supply sales reps, or the Xerox vendor who visits and maintains the copier? Do they all deserve bullets too?
No.

I find it telling that no one on your side has interjected the mother into this yet. What is her position in this? Is she an accessory to "serial murder"? After all, there would be no abortions, or abortion doctors, if women weren't actively seeking abortions. So what is their just punishment that we should espect to see handed out by Hill's gang?
You and Catspaw are both wrong.
