Prosecute Operation Rescue
Edited on Wed Jun-03-09 09:53 PM by norepubsin08
For all those who wish to see an investigation and possible prosecution (if they are found to have violated the law) of Operation Rescue for crimes such as: conspiracy, obstruction, aiding and abetting, co-defendants in first degree murder K and R here also need to know how to set up an electronic petition to be disseminated nationally and then sent on to the AG's office-thanks Mike C

2. Why? Has there been breaking news that OR was more involved
in the shooting of Dr. Tiller?

I've been away much of the day, so I may not be up to speed.

4. When caught the suspect had
the name and phone number of an OR staff person on his dashboard, plus the statements coming from Randall Terry seem kind of dodgy...I just think that there should be an investigation.

5. I could probably find a phone number of an OR staff member on the internet.
That doesn't mean they are involved. It is cause for an investigation though.

6. I think an investigation of OR and Army of God should be undertaken.
I think a prosecution should follow if anything additional is found.

I was just curious if some big revelation arose today that I missed. One day out of the loop, and you're just toast.

3. I want a proper investigation. That doesn't mean I want prosecution.
I want a proper investigation into this mess. But I don't want a witch trial.

7. Rachel Maddow had twitters from the OR woman to the defendant.
The OR woman sent twitters to the defendant, telling him where Dr. Tiller was.

8. If there isn't a prosecution there might be grounds for the family to file a civil suit
Several years ago wasn't the Southern Poverty Law Center successful in helping a family sue the KKK for damages? I would think this might be a simialr case.

10. Two thoughts . . . not to exclude Operation Rescue cause I'd love to see them go down . ..
Edited on Wed Jun-03-09 10:57 PM by defendandprotect
after an investigation --

But, the women's organization -- notably Ellie Smeal of Fund for the Feminist Majority
long ago connected this violence to women's clinics/doctors, etc. to right-wing
militia supremacists' groups. All of that information, long ago, was passed on to
officials/Federal government. There was, of course, disappointment that none of the
information was not acted upon even at that time.

And, you might have noticed that Roeder was a "Freeman"
which is a militia group. I haven't gone to the internet to see who they are and what
they do, but the ex-wife of Roeder has said that after joining this group he became
obsessed with abortion.

Nor am I suggesting that all of these groups don't have interconnections.

Tonight, Rachel Maddow had a very important interview with a guy who worked at one of
the clinics. I didn't hear every bit of it -- and others should recheck and hopefully
we'll have some video on this -- but this man said that Roeder had been identified
previously as "gluing their doors." This is a very serious situation which takes a long
time to undo. They had him on film, they had his license plate number -- and some were
witnesses to his activities and could identify him. This was all reported at the time
to officials, including FBI in Kansas. At that time they didn't prosecute him!

HOWEVER, the guy who works at the clinic said on Saturday -- the Saturday before the
shooting of Dr. Tiller -- Roeder was at their clinic again "gluing the doors."
They got a look at him in person. Again, they had him on film and his license plate number.
It was reported within five minutes to the FBI.


Obviously, Roeder was NOT apprehended -- had he been, there is every reason to believe that
Dr. Tiller would still be alive.

Keep in mind that Dr. Tiller was facing excalating threats and attacks on the clinic.
Dr. Tiller had asked requested added protection citing the rising incidents just before
he was murdered!



In other words, we seem to still have reluctant police enforcement on our hands, even
in light of the FACE laws passed quite some time back!
