Scott Roeder convicted of murder

[Danno 1,228]

You questioned what he is guilty of. Murder - there are no mitigating circumstances. I am explaining to you why. Are you done claiming this should be a lesser crime now?

I don't know that I ever said it "SHould" be a lesser Crime, my only observation was people who kill in cold blood (just like him) often get it plead down and if he had the money to hire top notch defenders he might have as well.

You don't look half bad with your mouth closed.

Yeah, nothing like a good dose of fear and violent intimidation to make a person do the "right thing"

The Philippine version of this is vigilante killing. A lot of those bad guys released from jail don't get to their houses alive. Some local mayors like our mayor in Cebu and the mayor in Davao City are being blamed for vigilante killings. Some private sects claim that these mayors own the vigilante groups and in one call, they act to "clean the city" from vicious elements. Robbers and drug-related convicts are the usual targets.

No, "encounter strategy" (which is what you describe) is not even tangentially related to Roeder's action.

I believe abortion is wrong, but so is killing the dr who performs them....

Which is why I lack sympathy for either one.

Nobody in this thread have taken Women Studies in college before? After you take it, you'll understand why women prefer pro-choice.

These type of crimes are good. They take 2 people capable of murder off the streets. 2 for one crime

They got to you.

As evidenced not only by your swallowing what you were taught... whole but also you now believe you and your fellow travelers alone have the "truth'.

Tax money well spent, I'd say.

Bad logic--what if Roeder had NOT made himself easily catchable?

Good logic, he did!........ 2 people off the streets who have the mentality to take lifes. We need more crimes like these.

You say that, but you haven't posted a single example that has equivalence to this case.
