Chapter Six; DEATH ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH part twenty one



Recently in the news , I heard that the dogmatic supporters of Scott Roeder were wanting to hold an ebay auction to help raise funds, for this all but admitted murderer.xxx The people trying to organize this sadistic auction are using the death of Dr. George Tiller to profit the person charged with his killing.
David Leech , of Iowa, is the person that is spearheading this macabre attempt to raise money for Roeder's defense. Roeder has even said he is willing to sign some items to be put up for sale, should it ever take place.
At this time, ebay is not letting the auction take place. They are setting issues with their policy that such an auction would violate the rules, “that promote or glorify violence, hate, racial or religious intolerance, or items that encourage, promote, facilitate or instruct others to engage in illegal activity.”xxxi
Not to mention it would violate human dignity and common respect. But , when you have groups like The Westboro Baptist Church protesting his candlelight vigil, what can you say about the religious adherents?
