The good news: My review of Bang-Bang-a-Boom is up at Unreality SF
The only thing that stops Bang-Bang-a-Boom! from being completely hilarious is that it tries too hard to be funny. The jokes aren't just delivered, they're hammered home...

The bad news: ... no, if I start ranting about how the murder of Dr. Tiller is trying to spin walking into the man's church and blowing him away as "voluntary manslaughter" (he's already been told "justifiable homicide" won't work) then I'm just going to make my headache worse and I don't need that.

i agree with you.

there are TONS of "honestly held, if unreasonable" beliefs that could be used to "justify lethal force" ... and i really have to wonder how the law has held on this long, when its CLEARLY a dangerous precedent..

how about if you believe its inevitable that there will be a race war? or that (insert group here) is part of a conspiracy to kill/destroy (insert my group here)

it seems to ME that this would do better with an insanity defense.. or that they need a DIFFERENT defense, or wider sentancing guidelines, or something........ for that kind of law.

shakes head
i think it may be allowed to go through..... but that they dmn well better get to work changing the law, whether it does.. or doesnt work IN THIS CASE.... because now that its been publicized?
it will be used again
and again
untl its fixed

I've heard a couple of people crossing their fingers that this *is* supposed to be the case that fixes the law.

The defense doesn't appear to want the insanity defense because this is supposed to REALLY be about the legality of Roe v Wade. The judge has at least disallowed that, or said he will.
