Based on the Kansas law quoted above, I’d say that the question of whether or not Roeder was outside the law is very debatable. I guess that’s why they’ll have the trial. On it’s face, it appears to me like he was defending those who cannot defend themselves. Where I come from that’s not criminal, it’s laudable. How is this any different than if he’d popped a cap in Ted Bundy as Bundy forced a coed into his van?
You must live in the one state in the union where kidnapping and rape is legal. You'll have to share with us which state that is precisely.
Right now, abortion is legal in this country. As reprehensible and disgusting as Tiller is, he was operating inside the laws of this country, at least with respect to performing abortions. Ted Bundy wasn't. That's the difference you've failed to see or acknowledge.
If you don't like the law, then change it. But, you don't get to murder people who are following the law just because you don't like the law.
Ted Bundy is an amateur compared to George Tiller. Tiller killed 60,000 children. Even Osama Bin Laden looks like a piker compared to that number. The only flaw in the shooters defense is the “immenent” threat to harm another. Tiller was at church. Perhaps in the operating room that defense would fly but not in church on Sunday. Depends on the jury. The law has wiggle room and that is what juries are for.
