America: Free fire zone

You or your loved one an abortion provider or work with one?

Apparently, its now legal to shoot one in the face at a place of worship to prevent any potential unborn from being harmed.

In my book, this was first degree murder and terrorism. Pre-meditated. For decades. In the judges book, (update: its possible its...) involuntary manslaughter. Because, you know, there was simply no other choice than walking into a church at mass and shooting someone in the face. If you live in Kansas, don't stand too close to a doctor, you could get the ricochet.

I thought the judge was allowing the defendant to posit the charge as possible, not letting him plead to it.

Yes, I suppose when you phrase it like that it .... well no, still seems shitty.

Well, the dood is entitled to the best defense he can get. After all, making sure he gets his rights when he took Tiller's right to life away is what makes us better than him.

Hmm. Okay.

Hm, I have no legal background, so perhaps there is something I do not understand...

It does not seem that what Roeder did falls under voluntary manslaughter at all? So how is allowing the defense to argue that an expression of his constitutional rights? They could also be allowed to argue involuntary manslaughter? Self defense? But, none of these things apply, so... they shouldn't be?

I think at this point, he's trying to cop a plea for a shorter jail term.

Only in Alabama....

So if I kill a few politicians to save innocent Afghans from being harmed, it's okay?

You cannot be held responsible. It was involuntary.
