Texas man threatened deadly force to stop abortion

[proud2BlibKansan]

A Texas man faces charges after he filed documents in federal court threatening to use deadly force to stop an abortion if the U.S. Supreme Court didn't immediately act to outlaw the practice, federal officials said Monday.

Erlyndon Joseph "Joey" Lo, 27, of Plano, filed documents there Friday saying his religious beliefs entitled him to use deadly force to prevent an abortion. He listed the name of a clinic, its address and the time he was going to show up - noon that day.

"I plan on saving at least one human life in Dallas, Texas," Lo wrote.

FBI spokesman Mark White said he was unsure if Lo went at that time, but said agents worked with Dallas police "to make sure there wasn't going to be an issue at the clinic." Lo was arrested Saturday.

"We take threats to women's clinics very seriously," White said. "And this threat was very specific in its nature."

5. Evidently didn't hear about Tiller's murderer's 50 year to life sentence.

6. So he was going to get between some unspecified woman and her doctor

In his religious zealotry? What the hell right does he have to interfere with her medical care?

9. When I first saw the headline

I thought it was about a guy trying to prevent his girlfriend from having an abortion.

[csziggy]

14. Me too, but the article does not mention one

Just that he seems to be unmarried, living with his parents. And he may have shown up with a receipt, trying to find out if his 'wife' had gotten an abortion.

So who was he trying to block from getting an abortion?

7. "I AM A MORON"

"WHO FILED DOCUMENTS IN FEDERAL COURT FOR THE VIOLENT CRIME I HAVE NOT COMMITTED YET"

[TorchTheWitch]

12. "and have no intension of committing because I'm too chickenshit

so I'm filing these documents to show my peers that I'm just as bad ass as that other dude... but not really, because I don't want to get the gas for actually doing the deed. Kindly get me out of this pickle and arrest me in front of the clinic at the appointed time before my peers figure out that I'm not really that bad ass after all."

16. +1

Well said.

[omega minimo]

18. "and whatever I do I had a right to do one way or the other"

"even if it was inform on myself so authorities would stop me........."

Good catch. TtW

[TorchTheWitch]

22. you know, I just realized what's even more funny about this...

He knows his peers are so stupid they'd fall for his ruse hook, line and sinker.

[omega minimo]

23. I pity the fool

:crazy:

[proud2BlibKansan]

20. Maybe his mom confiscated his guns

8. It's really a toss-up

whether Texas or Florida can boast that they have more crazies per square mile....

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

10. Florida. Less area. -nt

[HubertHeaver]

21. Correct. Texas has a lot of empty square miles.

[David__77]

11. Sounds like a serious crime.

Hopefully he is prosecuted fully.

[flvegan]

13. Thanks for the heads up, Joey.

[Zoeisright]

17. What a total asshole. So that means that someone else can kill YOU, 'Joey'.

The lack of logical reasoning skills is just sickening.
