1. This is welcome and great news

Thanks

24. The Results of US Attorney Bradley Schlozman and John Wood

When is AG Eric Holder Going to Clean This Cesspool in Kansas City Referred to as Law Enforcement. Rachel Maddow Has Clearly Shown That Bradley Schlozman and John Wood Ignored Complaints Made Against Scott Roeder and Now Dr. Tiller is Dead. Schlozman & Wood = The Dynamic Duo of The Patriot Act!

2. This is what the DOJ is there for

I think this anti-abortion network is larger are more dangereous than people think.

[C_U_L8R]

6. Indeed... .a conspiracy

[EFerrari]

9. Anti-abortion, anti-government and white supremacist.

Ambitious and dangerous.

[magellan]

3. Hopefully they'll also have a serious look

...at how these violent acts amount to domestic terrorism.

4. I'm no lawyer, but I've watched one on TV.

Doesn't Jack McCoy, on Law and Order, often cite a concept he calls, "depraved indifference", when connecting an individual to a murder when that individual didn't pull the trigger, but through his or her actions, enabled another person to commit the kiling? It seems to me that this concept could be used against Randall Terry and BillO.

[Hepburn]

14. It would require some sort or type of conspiracy theory....

...to find a third party criminally culpable for the actual crime another committed.

[alsame]

5. Great news. n/t

[Downwinder]

7. About time. Maybe they are listening to us after all.

Now, drop the charges against Dr. Flowers and bring Single Payer to the table. Don't be afraid, we won't eat you if you listen (hear) us.

[EFerrari]

8. Lights back on at DoJ!

:applause:

[Psychic Consortium]

10. A government that does it job. The 21st century feels good! nt

[steelyboo]

11. Even though it does not mention BillO, I'd be willing to bet his Sphincter just tightened

to the point of implosion.

[Downwinder]

12. Have to listen and see if he has gotten a higher pitch. n/t

13. K&R

:kick:

15. According to employees at Tiller's clinic, they'd reported Roeder to the FBI

for obstructing access to the clinic (including gluing the doors shut) dozens of times -- including the night before he murdered Dr. Tiller. If the DOJ had acted on this sooner, Dr. Tiller might still be serving the women of Kansas today.

21. On Anderson Cooper's 360 Special: A Woman's Choice,

Wolfgang Anacon, a friend/anti-choice acquaintance of Scott Roeder, stated, in regard to his association with Operation Rescue and other anti-abortion/religious/political groups:

"Apparently Scott let himself be used as an Angel of Vengeance, yes.", "An Angel of destruction."

It seemed to be quite damning of the involvement by these other groups. I hope it is investigated thoroughly.

[jazzjunkysue]

16. Take that, George.

Your move, asshole.

[Snazzy]

17. how about terrorism instead

Section 802 of the USA PATRIOT Act (Pub. L. No. 107-52) expanded the definition of terrorism to cover ""domestic,"" as opposed to international, terrorism. A person engages in domestic terrorism if they do an act ""dangerous to human life"" that is a violation of the criminal laws of a state or the United States, if the act appears to be intended to: (i) intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination or kidnapping.

18. You're right

The muslim convert who killed the two recruiters immediately had the label terrorist thrown at him by the MSM just because he has a muslim name. Why isn't Operation Rescue considered a terrorist organization?

[AsahinaKimi]

19. I totally agree...

I can't believe the double standards involved here...

[Snazzy]

22. Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances is fed criminal offense, sure

but so are dozens of other fed offenses they could and should pursue, including the domestic terror laws, that actually have teeth instead of kid gloves. Holder needs to forcefully bring the weight of fed government to bear on these assholes before they assassinate their next target. And fire the freaking Kansas FBI.

[dotymed]

20. THIS IS GOOD

but,the Justice Department NEEDS to investigate the possible
MILLIONS of MURDERS committed by the previous administration.
It is not a joke. The proof and the broken laws are openly
available and very prosecutable.

[mckara]

23. Those Murderers are Domestic Terrorists

Whether the Justice Department can prove there are networks of conspirators, is another story!

[ohio2007]

25. Whats there to investigate? Some murders more "murderous" then others?

....DOJ writes that it will probe whether there were violations of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances

didn't the crime happen in chuch ?
He's still dead. They have the suspect

well ?
What's with the need for a dog and pony show ?

[MSC2007]

26. The DOJ and The Courts In Kansas City Have Been Hijacked;

I Have Lived The Interference, Persecution, Surveillance, Retaliation and Cover Up For 8 F****** Years. The Courts Protect The Corruption, Which Includes The DOJ. Do You Need Evidence, How About 8 Years of Evidence. http://www.medicalsupplychain.com/news.htm
