re: #316 iceweasel

Really? He ‘had a job, he did it’?

He chose to do a job that only 3 people in the US were brave enough to do. He kept doing it after years of death threats and one assassination attempt.

He died for a cause. The cause of all those fuckwits who want to murder abortion providers because Roe v Wade isn’t going to change. THAT cause.

Again, why do you want to project this heroic depiction on this man? Perhaps he was, but neither you nor I really know that.

I would no more lionize this guy than the man who works on my car. Both mechanics. In fact, a better analogy might be a construction contractor who does high work - he gets paid better than the next guy who does not, but that is just my opinion of course.

I have no evidence this guy was on some sort of altruistic mission, and neither do you.
