Alleged shooter's ex-wife: He was capable of murder

WICHITA, Kansas (CNN) -- Scott Roeder's ex-wife said she believes her former spouse was capable of murder.

Roeder, 51, is sitting in a Kansas jail, charged with murdering George Tiller, one of the few U.S. doctors who performed late-term abortion.

"He was determined that if the abortion doctor killed the baby, then he didn't have any right to live either," Roeder's ex-wife Lindsey Roeder told reporters on Monday, refusing to show her face to cameras.

Lindsey Roeder said their 10-year marriage ended 13 years ago in part because he had a fanatical preoccupation with certain views, including those on abortion.

She said her ex-husband believed killing an abortion provider "is justifiable," and described him as self-righteous and someone who may be capable of murder.

1. I am just curious...I wonder if they had kids.
Edited on Wed Jun-03-09 09:19 AM by YOY
I've been trying to see if I can detect a patern to these guys. RW nutjobs who go balistic that is...

He fits my pigeonhole (as bad as it is to say that) but for that one tiny question.

If no kids...he fits perfectly.

White

Between 50 and 70.

Lives alone.

Dead-end Job.

Divorced or never married.

(TBD) No kids.

No insult intended to anyone who fits that description.

2. Why Do You Think He's Divorced?
Kids or no, most women will not put up with psychopathy for very long; with kids, shorter than otherwise.

6. That fits a lot of people
Like me. Fifty percent of marriages end in divorce; at least 70% of Americans are White; in this economy, I'd say 90% of jobs are "dead-end".

13. Like I said no insult intended...but when a RWer goes apeshit.
It's always that demographic.

Throw in political beliefs and you're well out of the the demographic.

11. Depends on how you define terrorism and how you define white.
One of the more curious internet movements out there is a budding one which essentially claims that almost everyone of note in history was black. Why anyone would want to claim some of these people is beyond me, but I freely offer up my more violent ancestors to this revision.
