RedState commenter: "Killing Tiller was the right thing to do."

By GottaLaff


These are the people who are offended by the phrase "clinging to their guns". These are the people who cherish the blastocysts, but not the child. These are the people who say things like the following, when an innocent man is murdered in cold blood. Here are some examples of their twisted, perverted logic:

I can’t help but to follow the logic. “Doctor” Tiller is committing late-term abortions, which by any sane person’s calculation is infanticide. This is murder. Through perversion of the law, this is permitted, despite it flying the face of the history of civilization. This has been tolerated for two decades, and nothing has happened to stop the killing. He would have continued to commit this crime.

I can’t escape the conclusion that killing Tiller was the right thing to do. I am uncomfortable with this conclusion because it’s dangerous. But nevertheless, it was the ethical thing to do. Tiller would have continued to take numerous lives. Nothing was going to stop him. So someone did stop him. And now fewer lives will be taken.

We celebrate the breaking the laws every time the media canonizes Rosa Parks. She broke the law. There is no question of that. The question is whether it was the ethical thing to do (it was.) We celebrate the Nazi resistance, we celebrate the Tiananmen Square uprising. I’m sure those were all illegal actions, yet were unquestionably the moral things to do. So how would killing a killer, when all options are exhausted, not also be the right thing to do?

You have to wonder if the reason why we have a legal system is in order to steal the oxygen from moral vigilantism. You have to wonder if the legal system breaks down whether vigilantism, when all other options fail, becomes a moral imperative.

Another Commenter:

I really dont care if it gets used against us.

Do we dismiss what this guy was doing because someone took the law in their own hands? Granted, we shouldnt take the law into our own hands. But if the left is going to paint a picture, then Id like to take the opportunity to paint the picture right back on late-term abortions.

IMHO, Denouncing does no good alone. The left doesn’t play fair.

And finally:

This is one idiot who should get the death penalty and it will be “proof” that all pro-life people are haters and killers, whereas for example dozens if not hundreds of ACORN vote cheaters are called isolated incidents not indicative of the good things the organization does.

Yeah, comparing this killer to ACORN is logical.
