The LC-MS was right to excommunicate him in hopes that he would, through the withholding of the saving body and blood of Christ, turn from his ways and repent. Unfortunately, he was able to run to another church which welcomed him and gave him the Gospel, when what he needed to hear was LAW. You are right. And I, for one, do not defend the vigilante killing of Tiller, nor do I delight in his death, which may have been (although only God can see the heart) in a state of impenitence and unbelief. His outward behavior did indicate impenitence, and that is what the church has to go on.

A vigilante is one who "takes just law into his own hands" and not one who "acts despite unjust law."

With Tiller arriving at the front gate to his property, a counselor finished her plea, "You can't go to heaven unrepentant, George; you are going to hell." The abortionist George Tiller instantly quipped, "Abortion is worth going to hell for."
