Rudolph Victim Says He Deserves Death

Alternate headline:
Killer says other killer should be killed

While I know that what Rudolph did is wrong, I can find no sympathy for this paid killer of human babies in the womb. Perhaps she has a piece of shrapnel in her for every baby whose death she assisted.

"Emily is obviously a product of the public schools. Why "would have been"?"

Actually, this sounds like the subjunctive mood or a conditional phrase, sort of like "I wish I were a pro athlete." Many people say "I wish I was a pro athlete," which is incorrect.

It appears to me that Emily's grammar is correct -- or at least acceptable -- here. She thinks the proper sentence for him is death, but that's not what he got.

Funny, when they describe Palestinians who set off bombs laced with nails, they don't use the term "extremist" but rather "militant" or "activist."

In order to properly qualify as an extremist, one must be several deviations from the norm.

Emily Lyons was looking forward to the Rudolph trial so she could get another 15 minutes worth of fame--much of it on the Today show explaining how compassionate her work at the abortion clinic was. That's why it broke her heart that her assailant made a plea bargain. What happened to her was wrong, but she is a disgusting human being.

As if what she is supporting in the abortion clinic isn't reprehensible.

Correct. However, murdering abortionists and those who work in abortion clinics does not right a wrong.

I think a lot of pro-life folks despise Eric Rudolph because he's placed the moral dilemma of our position squarely in front of us -- and we don't like the logical implications of it.

Get a rope and hang him right alongside Terry Nichols and all the Muslim Terrorists captured in Iraq.

Nor does it justify bombing the Olympics or bombing the bar.

I forgot about those too. Thanks for the reminder.

This guy is not the hero some think he is...in my opinion.

Excellent post. Rudolph is a murderer and deserves a murderer's fate. But so does the putrid Ms Lyons. She is as evil as he.

That's because some people WANT you to forget the other crimes Eric Rudolph commited.

That way they can make a "martyr" of him and perhaps do things in his memory.

Sound like any OTHER bunch you've heard about?

Your opinion is right: Trust your gut.

That man is a terrorist, pure and simple.

He deserves an ignominious death and nothing more.
