Wow, 8:30PM EST is how long it took?

[Don Corleone]

Nobody thought it unusual or topic worthy to post about a pro-choice activist gunning down a pro-life activist in cold blood (http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/09/11/michigan.shooting/index.html), and another victim in Michigan today?

I mean, our foreign friends might be forgiven, but my "quick on the link" small simian friend didn't find this newsworthy?

Must be because it was only published on Faux News? Nope, I found it on that major cog in the vast right-wing conspiracy... CNN.com.

*sniff* *sniff* What's that I smell? Ah yes... hypocricy.

Has anyone claimed there are not nutters on both sides?

I dislike the fanatics on both sides of a conflict, even the fanatics on the side I am on...

I will have more in common with a moderate christian than a fanatical atheist...

[Husar]

You're right about the hypocrisy, the guy didn't leave the victim a choice, that's quite hypocritical for a pro-choice person.

Shooting him for protesting and showing his opinion is pretty unamerican and despicable anyway though. :thumbsdown:

[CountArach]

Sick, sick people.

A pro-life activist was shot down. But not by a pro-choice activist. This case probably has little to nothing to do with any pro-choice sentiments.

The killed protester was the second person killed, of a total of three planned, by a man who's motives as of yet remain unclear. The first person killed was a gravel company owner.

Some guy lost it and went on a killing spree around his home town, killing everybody who irritated him.


In other news, my local gas station employee was knifed down. This shows the excesses of the envirtonmental movement, as global warming was no doubt foremost in the mind of the seventeen year old school dropout robber.

And why do you mention atheists? From what I can read the shooter was not involved in a pro-choice organisation nor is atheism mentioned in any articles I have read so far. And he apparently also shot another guy who had nothing do with the pro-life movement.

I think this would be a lot more newsworthy if it was an anti-gun campaigner gunning down a pro-gun campaigner.

Oh common how can killing human beings in the wombs of their own mother possibly be hypocrite where is your progression. Anyways but I don't see any hypocrisy there is no violent pro-choice organization that has anything to answer for as far as I know, they aren't militant.

Not yet anyways...

So he was Pro Choice, thats what Faux News and CNN are going to stick to, without any evidence to back up their claim? I think this guy was just a nutter, who happened to kill someone who was ardently pro life.

Increasingly you appear to have lost the plot Don.

It was just an example...

Could as well have used vegetarians...

[Hosakawa Tito]

It's still under investigation, but it appears the shooter had a "to do" grudge list, but the motives are not as obvious as they appear to be on the surface. The shooter apparently didn't know the protester personally, but knew of him because the protester was the village gadfly. The gravel pit owner killed & the shooter did know each other. It's a mad world.

[Major Robert Dump]

Not to toss stereotypes, but from the looks of the killer I doubt he is pro choice, I doubt he follows politics, I doubt he can read


According to what I am reading and hearing now, it wasn't that the guy was pro-choice, it's that he was not a fan of people who stand across the street from schools holding pictures of butchered fetuses., and when he was on his shooting rampage the guy standing across the street from a school holding up posters of dead fetuses seemed like an obvious target.

[Papewaio]

Must have been more of a pro-offroader since he went for the gravel owner (pro-road maker), then the anti-abortionist. What a bitumen he was.
