Meet the "pro-life" activist who shot and killed George Tiller. The suspected killer's right-wing extremism wasn't limited to anti-abortion-rights activism...
But Roeder's violent right-wing extremism seems to extend beyond the issue of abortion. In April 1996, amid anxiety over the anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing, Roeder was stopped by police after a motorist reported seeing a car with a license plate reading: "Sovereign
â Private Property â Immunity Declared at Law â Non Commercial American."...
When police searched Roeder's car, they found the makings of a bomb: a blasting cap; two six-volt lantern batteries, one wired with a clothespin and a cigarette wrapper; and a 1-pound can of black gunpowder. In Roeder's home, police found instructions titled "Underground Cookbook: Clothes Pin Time-Delayed Switch."
Creepiest detail:
When Roeder was arrested yesterday, he was driving a blue 1993 Ford Taurus. In the rear window of the car was a red roseâa symbol often used by anti-abortion activistsâand on the back his car was a silver fish symbol with the word "Jesus" inside.
The part in the Sermon on the Mount about bomb making was always my favorite.
