It seems like every time I turn around, “peace” activists are engaging in acts of violence. Now we can add murder to their list of creative ways to lobby for “peace”! From Gateway Pundit:
The suspect, Carlos Hartmann, 41, of Tecumseh, Mich., has confessed to the Sept. 8 killing on a train platform in the southern city of Roosendaal, defence lawyer Peter Gremmen said.
Gremmen said Hartmann wanted to punish the Netherlands for its support of the war in Iraq…
“He hates soldiers, and says that the army kills people, so it would be legitimate if he were also to kill someone . . . from the American military – or from its NATO allies,” Gremmen said in a telephone interview.
When he failed to find a soldier at the Roosendaal train station, “he got such a crazy, disturbed idea that he killed a civilian,” Gremmen said…
BN/De Stem quoted a witness who asked to remain anonymous as describing Hartmann as striking the victim in the back of the head with the axe. It also quoted an unidentified family member from the United States as saying Hartmann has suffered from emotional problems since his early 20s.
“Peace” at any price…including murder.
The peace lovers way of killing, sneak up from behind and hit someone with an axe. Small difference between a peacenik and a coward.

LOL
I read this yesterday, but the slant being the perpetrator was a former American soldier.
Gotta love the twist!
