Dr. George Tiller & Right-Wing Terrorism

I'm going to try to make this as short as possible.  I have a lot to write on the subject, but at some point ranting for the sake of ranting takes away from some critical points.  First - the actual news report: a Kansas doctor, Dr. George Tiller, was assassinated while performing usher duties at his church Sunday.  The assassin was later identified as 51 year-old terrorist Scott Roeder, who was apprehended by Kansas City area law enforcement later in the day Sunday.

I don't normally do this, but I'm going to very deliberately point out the language I'm using: assassin and terrorist.

Parker cops take man's claim of jewelry heist at face value

Parker police officers for now are taking at face value a jewelry salesman's contention that he was robbed at gunpoint of $300,000 worth of dog jewelry outside a Starbucks on Monday.

"We can't just say that it seems kind of farfetched," Parker police Capt. Jim Tsurapas said Tuesday. "We're treating it as an armed robbery. We are going to pursue it to see if we can prove it or disprove it."

The salesman told police he was in the Denver area for the Rocky Mountain Cluster Dog Show last weekend at the National Western Stock Show complex.

The 64-year-old man, from Kansas City, Kan., said he stopped for coffee at a Starbucks at 9700 S.
