I'm so sorry about your friend. I live in Kansas and knew who Dr Tiller was by name, of course, and didn't hear about his murder until reading it on apocalypsos' journal. It was one of those things I was always afraid would happen since there had been so many attempts before.
This is hideous and awful and I'm just sick about it. There were SO MANY organizations and people who targeted Dr Tiller with lies and hatred, and they are all responsible. Not that Roeder isn't -- this is a guy who apparently drove from KC down to Wichita just to murder Dr Tiller. (Roeder hasn't been convicted, of course.) And you know many in those organizations, mostly in Operation Rescue, are praising the alleged murderer as a hero.
