Scott Roeder: "They're Treating Me Like a Criminal"

[proud2BlibKansan]

The man charged in the slaying of Kansas late-term abortion provider George Tiller says he's "being treated as a criminal" even though he hasn't been convicted.

Scott Roeder called the Associated Press on Thursday from the Sedgwick County Jail and disputed characterizations in the media of him as being anti-government, saying he is "anti-corrupt government."

When asked by the AP to discuss the Tiller shooting, the 51-year-old Kansas City, Mo., man refused to comment, saying he would talk about that later.

1. ROTFFLMAO!

:rofl:

Funniest thing I've read today!

[rurallib]

All wingers are so fucking surprised when they get caught.

They just can't believe that things like murder is bad.

Can't wait to see what W and Shooter say when their thrown in the hoosegow (I can dream)

[adamuu]

41. Obviously, he expected to be treated as a hero

now, who could have given him that idea?
Now, who has let him down?

[havocmom]

42. Weeeel, one of his posts on OR sorta looked like he was trying to round up an audience

He did seem to want a friendly OR audience at Tiller's church. He probably did expect to be treated like a hero.

Delusions are dangerous things.

[proud2BlibKansan]

47. That is something I have been wondering about

How many OR groupies were there at the scene of the assassination? They regularly protested at Tiller's church. How many were there and what did they know about Tiller's plans?

Where did he get the gun? He was a felon. I don't think he could buy a gun under KS law.

[havocmom]

56. That note on his dashboard with name of OR woman who had also been involved in clinic violence?

Wondering just how much help (beside getting him addresses) she may have been to his actions. That gun did come from somewhere and he couldn't have acquired it legally. He either stole it or an accomplice got it for/to him.

[proud2BlibKansan]

64. Yep

Lots of unanswered questions.

[alarimer]

69. And who paid for it?

He worked minimum wage jobs when he worked, which wasn't all that often.

I'll bet someone was funding him.

[muntrv]

2. They should be treating Scotty as a terrorist.

[cagesoulman]

58. Amen, bro. If a bunch of dumbass homeless guys in Florida daydream about the Chrysler building

they get the royal treatment as terrorist. Snotty actually killed somebody for a political agenda.

[Jack from Charlotte]

59. Wait until Scotty's convicted and settled into The Big House....

He's gonna be Bubba's bitch for the remaining 30 years of his miserable life.

[MichiganVote]

3. Instead of the hero he fantasized he would be.....sick fuck

[WeDidIt]

4. Too bad

They should be treating him like what he is.

A terrorist.

Gag him. Put earphone on him, a hood over his head, chain him to a stretcher and ship his ass to Gitmo.

[AllieB]

7. That's the way I feel too. And I'm not the vengeful type.

:grr:

[Hepburn]

62. +1....n/t

[JuniperLea]

5. What a cretin...

Cry, baby cry!

He wants to be a martyr. God he just creeps me out.

[ShortnFiery]

6. Roeder is lucky not to be at GITMO or Bahrain - he is a Domestic Terrorist.

He's lucky that us squishy squeaky Democrats don't believe in torture ... because he's tempting. :evilgrin:

[proud2BlibKansan]

9. How true

I want to condone torture. I really really do when I think of this monster.

[MikeNearMcChord]

8. He really thought they were going to throw flowers at him?

Put him in Maximum security, throw away the key!

[proud2BlibKansan]

11. Well the Christian Taliban is throwing flowers at him

Only problem - their numbers are dwindling.

[Trocadero]

12. someone told him he would be greeted with flowers and candy

[Taverner]

10. HE IS A FUCKING CRIMINAL

Doofus...

[Trocadero]

13. I hope he is sane enough to stand trial.

[proud2BlibKansan]

27. I wonder if he is setting himself up for an insanity defense.

[musette_sf]

46. crazy as a fox

[sendero]

14. I 'll bet that..

... this moron thinks that a jury will not convict him. He is in for a very rude awakening.

[rurallib]

15. Someplace in his fantasy he was no doubt in the middle of

an adoring crowd that was shouting his name as though he were god.
What in the fuck is he doing in a jail?

[suede1]

16. That is the only funny thing said about this whole incident.

[stray cat]

17. Innocent until proven guilty is the law - although it doesn't mean we don't lock people up

[Trocadero]

18. He is apparently worried about his elderly mother. Perhaps he should have thought of

that earlier...

[Ilsa]

19. Now, how does that go? Oh yeah,

BOOFUCKINGHOO.

[juno jones]

20. Did Jesus snivel?

Give up your employers, dude. The ones who enabled you to do their dirty work and have now forsaken you. You might get right with Jesus yet before your course is run.

[Enrique]

21. I forgot, he can talk!

he can tell us all about his ideas about government, and where he got those ideas.

[Catherine Vincent]

22. Well usually when you gun down someone in cold blood, you're a criminal

What a sicko!

[MADem]

23. Presumption of innocence, and all that...but why is this asshole surprised? NT

[malaise]

24. Just wait for the conviction Scotty

You ain't see 'nuthin yet.

[Fovea]

25. Oh Scott.

You are going to *so* love Larned.

And they are going to love you.
Or some other verb for which 'love' is often substituted.

[jmowreader]

68. And thus start the pro-prison-rape posts...

I would be much happier if they'd just put Scott in a cell they had to pipe air into with the only decorations on his cell walls being a list of fetal conditions incompatible with maternal survival--the things that can go wrong with a pregnancy that Dr. Tiller was concerned about.

[santamargarita]

26. I'm sure he'll make friends in prison

:think:

[stlsaxman]

32. yeah- he'll be leading Bible studies... in SOLITARY!

[ShortnFiery]

33. Yes, he'll probably be the bitch to some lumbering guy named "Tiny."

Get ready to dance around in a skirt and grow man tits. :wow:

[Jennicut]

28. Well duh. When you get arrested for a crime you are usually treated like you are one.

Being held for crime awaiting a trial is not a bed of roses, asshole nutball.

[chollybocker]

29. They should disembowel him with a coat hanger

or something.

[Hepburn]

63. Now there is a thought...

...you know, there are full body cavity searches in prison. Using coat hanger would be such a symbolic gesture, IMO.

[Pavulon]

30. Shame he will not make it to florence ADX

should spend the rest of his shit life there, no visitors, no sunlight. Only his miserable mind to live with.

[Union Yes]

31. You committed a hate crime Scott, I hope your made into an example.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

34. He needs to buck-up and shut up.

After all, he charged, judged and executed a man for doing nothing illegal.

I'm sure the irony of that is lost on him however.

[Adsos Letter]

35. He should thank his lucky stars he isn't in Iran.

They executed the guys they said bombed that mosque in southern Iran 3 days after the event.

Don't worry Roeder, you'll get yer fair trial.

[Contrary1]

36. Look on the bright side, Scotty...your mug shot could have looked like this:

[ShadowLiberal]

37. So is Osama Bin Laden, but does anyone doubt he's a criminal despite not being convicted?

[RagAss]

38. Pathetic.

[Kievan Rus]

39. No shit, Sherlock

He's a suspect in a murder one investigation with a slam dunk conviction coming up...and really complains about how he's getting treated.

Fundies really do say the darndest things.

[Canuckistanian]

40. Was he expecting a tickertape parade?

Maybe a key to the city?

Delusional.

[anigbrowl]

43. If he was denying any involvement, I might be sympathetic.

But since his identity and the crime don't seem to be in dispute, I figure he might as well get used to it. The court isn't there to decide on whether shooting Tiller was a crime or not. I get the impression that this hasn't penetrated Roeder's intellect yet.

[Vickers]

44. I wonder how he feels about all the prisoners at Gitmo who haven't even

been charged with a crime.

:eyes:

[DearAbby]

45. You're still breathing aint ya?

more than I can say about the victim you shot down in cold blood...grow a pair asshole.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

48. Phrase maker

:rofl:

[zbdent]

49. Did he expect Tiller to apologize to him?

[Stevenmarc]

50. What...... No fluffy terry robe and complimentary fruit basket.

[northzax]

51. You know, it's really quite sad

And yes, this guy needs to be locked up and have the key lost forever. But, just like your average terrorist actor, he's really not all that bright or stable, and was used and abused by people he trusted. This is why, Scott, so many terrorists are killed doing their thing, their leaders plan it that way, so no one has to think about the sad sacks involved. You can go out in a blaze of supposed glory, instead of rotting in a penitentiary. Yes, he's a murderer, but someone drove him to this, that's who should be rotting alongside him.

[Ganja Ninja]

52. Yeah well better late than never.

Dude should have been put away years ago.

[HughBeaumont]

53. He probably doesn't VIEW himself as a criminal.

The nutbars in "Gawd's Fetus Army" likely don't see their terrorist hate actions as "criminal"; if it's performed in the name of Th' Lord, it's justified.

Personally, I think he should be dropped in a dungeon, starved and dehydrated, but that's just me.

[ejpoeta]

55. yet he tried to get away after killing someone. I never understand how this guy

and others who think they are justified in killing people then try to get away. I mean, if it is a good thing you are doing, why do you feel the need to get away instead of taking ownership?

[ejpoeta]

54. doesn't the guy have a criminal history and convictions for things already???

true he hasn't been found guilty of the murder, but the man appears to have quite the history.... of being a criminal.

[havocmom]

57. Yep. He HAS been found guilty of a crime in the past

So, yeah, being treated like a criminal should not come as a surprise to him. That makes me feel the 'Freemen' connection is likely, at least in his thinking if not in his actual relationships. Those guys are not patriots but hoodlums trying to wrap their unwillingness to personally live by the laws of this nation in some bogus 'freedom fighter' garb. They want others to live by the laws, they want what protections the laws offer them, but they do not want to have any obligations under the implied social contracts of those same lies.

They are not the valiant patriots they imagine they are. They are bullies who go off screaming rationalizations when they get busted for their actions. They want all the protections with none of the responsibilities.

[Catshrink]

60. Well said.

If everyone acted the way they did, we'd have utter chaos in our society.

But your post reminded me of the tea party crowd and their aversion to paying taxes: they want all the benefits of civilization -- decent roads, education (maybe), utilities, police & fire protection, etc. -- but don't want the responsibility of paying for them.

I think of them as neoLibertarians, the far RW of the Republican Party or what's left of it anyway.

[Hepburn]

61. Boo-fucking-hoo, Scottie

Guess what: You ARE a motherfucking criminal.

Duh....:eyes:

[onethatcares]

65. what the hell is he doing calling the AP?

I know for a fact the powers never let me call UPI or AP or any other media while in jail for disorderly intox or some other made up reason.:wtf:

How's he get access?

[bridgit]

66. Ooo-WHAT!? Dude you're like totally a criminal...that is *why* they are treating you like one...

Scott Roeder, what a colossal ------------------->

[redqueen]

67. Please read this...

[proud2BlibKansan]

72. Very interesting

Someone obviously funded this assassination.

[MoonRiver]

70. WTF, a CRIMINAL?

NOOOOOOO! :wow:

...:sarcasm:

[Orsino]

71. Yet he didn't even treat Tiller *that* well. n/t

[mitchum]

73. True...and that's why his sorry ass hasn't been dragged into the street by a lynch mob

Roeder should be VERY grateful for the protection provided by the criminal justice system
