Killer Kopp cops another life sentence
One would suppose that this fucking douchebag, given the opportunity to speak to the court in front of Slepian's widow and fatherless kids, might express some remorse or at least say a word of apology or regret. No, that would only happen if he was living in the real world. Instead of doing what any even marginally sane person would do, this rancid piece of pigshit chose to deliver a rambling, incoherent diatribe about fetuses, ending with a sly insinuation that Slepian was the victim of a Magic Bullet:
"He insisted he never meant to kill Slepian, only to wound him, but that the bullets took an unexpected path.
'Tragic, horrible ricochet. That's how he died,' Kopp said."
Lynne Slepian read a letter to the court which included this heads-up:
"We should all be very, very afraid that this sick mentality of James Kopp and his followers still exists."
"There are too many people who believe that what James Kopp did was not a crime, but a calling."
Given what Kuri posted here, Slepian's point is well-taken. Mainstream anti-choicers may swear up and down that they have nothing to do with the extremist element, but even their own "lifesite" tried to defend Kopp a few years ago. If you scroll down here, you'll find a photo of their own adored Fr. Frank Pavone, who spoke at the March for Life this year, hanging out with Operation Rescue nutcase Randall Terry -- he's the one who advocates executing OB-GYNs who do abortions. Six degrees of separation? Maybe, maybe not.
Oh well, the good news is that, having been sentenced in federal court, JK will hopefully move from a state to a federal pen. An idiot like this will likely do hard time wherever he goes, but a federal pen absolutely guarantees it. Have fun, dickhead, don't drop the soap.
