jamiek: From Ron Sylvester’s excellent live-tweeting of the Scott Roeder trial. That came after he explained how the man he killed, Dr. George Tiller, lived in a gated community and had security at his clinic, and so was unreachable there. Roeder did have a choice, of course, the choice not to shoot and kill someone he disagreed with to further a political agenda. But he made his twisted moral calculus and figured he was justified. To say he had no choice, as if his decision was so clearly right, turns my stomach. Does anyone else find it ironic that the defense this shitbag is using is the same “moral relativism” that the extreme right has been decrying for the last 4 decades?
