Dr. Tiller's Assassin Complains That Life Is Unfair

[Joanne98]

Aw, poor baby:

The man who killed Wichita abortion doctor George Tiller has filed a petition complaining that his rights have been violated and asking to be released from custody.

The man who carefully planned the assassination of Dr. George Tiller and then gunned him down in his church thinks that the mean ol' judge is being unfair to him. Why?

In the 24-page petition — seven of the pages handwritten — Roeder said that the judge’s imposition of a $20 million bond “along with a suggestion that I might enact ‘more’ violence if I make bond demonstrates heightened disregard for the presumption of my innocence.”

Huh. Can't imagine why the judge thought Roeder might "enact more violence." Maybe because Roeder admitted to killing Dr. Tiller and, when asked if he would do it again, responded:

"We all have a sense of duty and obligation to protect innocent life. If anybody is in a situation where they can, I think it is their obligation."

And this:

"I know there are many other similar events planned around the country as long as abortion remains legal," Roeder said. When asked by the AP what he meant and if he was referring to another shooting, he refused to elaborate further.

But that's not Roeder's only complaint.

Roeder complained that the names and addresses of his visitors and correspondents had been made public by the jail “and that some of these have been subjected to questioning by the police power as a consequence.”

Huh. Can't imagine why the police would question some of Roeder's visitors. Maybe because he's been known to pal around with terrorists, like Cheryl Sullenger, senior policy adviser for Operation Rescue, who served two years in prison for plotting to bomb an abortion clinic? Oh, and these guys:
