Sped Away

Its interesting to note that the killer sped away from the scene in a car. One might ask why. If the idea is to intimidate the pro choice side and kill the doctor because they provide abortions, then why speed away. It suggests that there is a shame and a cowardice on the part of the murderer, an attempt to create immediate distance from the act of killing. Its like purging the memory and the experience by fleeing and leaving it behind. The fleeing is a purifying ritual and absolution, because the murderer is unable to bear the consequences.

Based on this alone, I bet the murderer is a devout church goer, someone who views themselves as spiritually connected.

CNN: Doctor who performed abortions shot to death
Witnesses provided a license number for a powder-blue Ford Taurus they said the killer used to speed away from the church...

"I am more concerned that the Obama administration will use Tiller's killing to intimidate pro-lifers into surrendering our most effective rhetoric and actions. Abortion is still murder, and we still must call abortion by its proper name."

If Tiller was slain because of his work, he would be the fourth U.S. physician killed by abortion opponents since 1993.
