Tiller Totally Asking For It

Lawyers for Scott Roeder have subpoenaed Kansas prosecutors in an effort to prove that Roeder was acting as a defender of life,

The subpoena comes amid speculation that Roeder will attempt to use a “defense of others” argument at his trial, saying that he killed Tiller to protect the lives of “preborn babies.” Under Kansas law, deadly force is justified to defend someone against the “imminent use of unlawful force.”

Interesting concept using the courts to justify murderous vigilantism.

Also interesting is that someone who helped women is being tarred with the same “asking for it” brush as women are when victims of crime.
