Suspect's son : "'He was saying goodbye to me"

How very pro-family of them.

He's lucky. Usually you read about people like this killing their family members before they go on a killing spree.

this guy ruined.

If he is in fact the killer then it apparently was planned well in advance.

the schizophrenic defense.

a valid First Degree Murder Charge.

Truly heartwarming.

... too bad he couldn't have thought so COMPASSIONATELY about OTHER PEOPLE'S CHILDREN (and grandchildren).

Except, apparently, "Thou shalt not kill."

Excellent bit of reporting there.

The 10 commandments are part of a set of metalaws which are shared by most nations/religions/brotherhoods/tribes. Most such sets of unbreakable "commandments" number between 8(strike adultery and coveting(7?) and theft?) and 12 (no idea, can anyone contribute?).

But all such commandments are only applicable when dealing with "one's own kind", against outsiders/other anything goes, whatever it takes.

The difference between us and them is that we appear to be willing to apply our "commandments" to a larger population than them.

"Roeder's ex-wife says mental illness runs in his family."

She also said when faced with the choice of buying her heart medicine or a gun, he chose the gun.

She divorced him because his views on abortion were so radical.

Chilling interview just now on our local news.

Roeder's family life began unraveling more than a decade ago when he got involved with anti-government groups, and then became "very religious in an Old Testament, eye-for-an-eye way," his former wife, Lindsey Roeder, told The Associated Press.

"The anti-tax stuff came first, and then it grew and grew. He became very anti-abortion," said Lindsey Roeder, who was married to Scott Roeder for 10 years but "strongly disagrees with his beliefs."

"That's all he cared about is anti-abortion. 'The church is this. God is this.' Yadda yadda," she said.

Lindsey Roeder said that the early years of the marriage were good and that Scott Roeder worked in an envelope factory. But she said he moved out of their home after he became involved with the Freemen movement, an anti-government group that discouraged the paying of taxes. The Roeders have one son, now 22.

"When he moved out in 1994, I thought he was over the edge with that stuff," his ex-wife said. "He started falling apart. I had to protect myself and my son."
