Well, what the man did is criminal. Whatever his motivations,
they're criminal. They go against the laws he is bound by in
being a citizen. His reasons don't matter so much to me. Even
for those who may cheer at his actions, THEY didn't go out and
commit violence. They're just going "yay guy woo". Empty words.
It's the act of a man who deserves punishment by civil
authorities. It's an uncommon act. In fact, it is VERY uncommon.
Even among the percentage of people who are pro-life by
ideology, consider bombing clinics the work of an extremist, a
terrorist, a murder - pick your favorite word. Then within the
pro-life there is a small subset who says, "You're doing what
I'd never do and good for you" Within that small subset is
another micro-subset and that's those that really WOULD do what
he did. Then within that small subset of the micro-subset are
those who WILL do it.
