A candlelight vigil has been scheduled for 8 p.m. today at Old Town Square to show support for George Tiller's family and to oppose violence.
Dustin Deckard, 20, organized the vigil and is hoping it will be "a quiet show of support for Dr. Tiller and a moment to remember his medical and political triumphs."
Deckard, who supports abortion rights, called today's shooting of Tiller "akin to the murder of Harvey Milk," an openly gay California politician who was shot to death in 1978.
"With the situation today, I think that what side people are on is the last thing we should be arguing about," Deckard said. "The death of people's loved one is more important today than any political alignment."
Deckard is spreading word of tonight's vigil through Twitter, a microblog service, and other social networking tools. Questions about the vigil should be directed to dustindeckard@gmail.com.
Old Town Square is at Second and Mead streets.
How to win an argument, step one:
Don’t give them martyrs on a silver platter.
How appropriate; a candle light vigil for the devil. BURN BABY, BURN!
I’ve got $3.75 that says Dustin Deckard, like Harvey Milk, is “openly gay”.
Abortion on the 243rd trimester is illegal?
20 years and so worldly already, Dustin.
Grow up
On the other hand, the death of an UNloved baby is a sacrement.
BARF!!!
Oh of course he will be held up as an example of a fine human being. I am surprised to hear he was a church goer. How could he do the things he did and still be a religious man?
Now we will hear the usual nonsense also about how pro life people are violent, abortion providers need protection etc. There will probably be more federal laws enacted to restrict the rights of pro life protesters.
Having said that, I condemn this murder. It was not right. Someone else could have been caught in the crossfire.
Has anybody identified the motive of the killer yet?
Someone needs to explain to Mr. Deckard that sucking the brains out of a baby about to be born is not a “medical or political triumph”
bring baby shaped candles
People coming out to support the torture and murdershalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach
of hundreds, thousands or hundreds of thousands of innocent Americans.
This could be a Kristillnacht moment for pro-life Christians.
His wife/daughter/grandaughter was pregnant?
Candlelight vigil...
let me guess, to symbolize his burning in hell currently...?
I believe the motive was money. . . . .or weren't you talking about George Tiller?
Just curious. Any chance Fred Phelps will be turning out for this?
