The killer of the soldier may think he was justified in his actions, but not one poster on this thread or any other agrees with that. There is no wide-spread support for him, or even people empathizing that while they think he went too far, they can understand his actions.

Both acts were acts of domestic terrorism. But Tiller's murder was an act of domestic terrorism whose foundation is completely domestic. The Little Rock incident is rooted in international matters. Tiller's murder was committed by someone whose ideology is shared by many other Americans. The other was more of a lone wolf action.
Exactly. I'd bold the whole post. Exactly right.

This is an assertion. It's not a fact until you prove it. Until you do so, your assertion is irrelevant to the issue at hand.

What a stupid f*ing remark. The gun crazy RW religious zealots of this country are the danger. I'm a liberal and I served 6 years. Cheney = 0, Bush = hard to tell he was AWOL most of it, Newt = 0, Kerry = 4 year.

You just deny what's clearly in front of you.

The left-wing anti-military, anti US kooks are there for all to see.

When he comments on one and not the other, it does help define him.
No, it's just something else to gripe about.

How many thousands of murders are committed each year? Do you expect the White House to comment on each of them?

I think not.

There are many left-wing/liberal groups that hate the military and what it stands for - all those anti-war activists spouting their garbage about our fine men and women of the military. That must have some influence on some of the crazies out there, like the shooter in Arkansas.
Even though you edited your post, it is still irrelevant. The shooter in Arkansas didn't target the soldiers because he hates the military. He targeted the soldiers as retribution for the Muslims killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Okay.

How are they relevant to the OP?
