Suspect in Van Gogh Slaying Admits Guilt (but not regret)
By TOBY STERLING, Associated Press Writer 33 minutes ago

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands - The man on trial in the slaying of filmmaker Theo van Gogh admitted his guilt in court Tuesday, declaring he acted out of religious conviction and would do it again if given the chance.

Mohammed Bouyeri also turned to Van Gogh's mother, Anneke, in court and told her: "I don't feel your pain."

"I can't feel for you because I think you're a nonbeliever," he said.
...
"I did it out of conviction," Bouyeri said. "If I ever get free, I would do it again."

3. After murdering van Gogh, this guy deliberately shot at police officers
He was hoping they would shoot back and he would become a martyr.
This guy actually wanted (and wants) to die. Good thing the cops shot him the leg and we don't have the death penalty here. He is a loser wo will spend the rest of his miserable life in jail, where he belongs.
