Here's a revelation: Scott P. Roeder, the man charged with assassinating abortion doctor George Tiller, worked for The Kansas City Star. The tidbit appeared in this morning's Star story, which listed several jobs Roeder has held through the years. Here's the snip:
In the two weeks immediately before the shooting, he had been working at Quicksilver Enterprises, an airport shuttle company.The Star also finally picked up on the story we told you Monday: a phone number found in Roeder's car belongs to Operation Rescue's senior policy adviser Cheryl Sullenger.
Hiswork history includes jobs in an envelope company, a fast-food
restaurant and a cab company. He also had contracted with The Star's
circulation department for three weeks to deliver circulars to
non-subscribers, before quitting May 12.
"No, he hasn't called me recently," Sullenger told The Pitch. "No."
She
went on: "You know, he's somebody who's been around. My name is on the
Internet. It's on every press release. My phone number is on every
press release it. It's all over the internet. I don't know. He probably
has lots of people's phone numbers. You know? So I don't know. I don't
have any more comment other than that."
Sullenger
has her own history of violence against abortion providers, albeit
prevented. In 1988, Sullenger was convicted of plotting to bomb an
abortion clinic. The Federal Bureau of Prisons says she was released on April 30, 1990. Sullenger has since renounced violence.
Here's what the Star adds:
Cheryl Sullenger ... said Tuesday that she has spoken to Roeder in the past, butshe said he would initiate the contact. She said she hasn't had any
recent contact with him. ... She said Roeder's interest was in court hearings involving Tiller.
"Hewould call and say, 'When does court start? When's the next hearing?' "
Sullenger said. "I was polite enough to give him the information. I had
no reason not to. Who knew? Who knew, you know what I mean?"

So in other words, he's one of those creepy guys who used to hang the Food section and all the grocery store ads on my ex-girlfriend's apartment door.
Sounds about right.
