  Disturbed anti-war protester can't find soldier, kills civilian with axe instead

  AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) - A U.S. citizen has confessed to using an axe to kill a Dutch student after failing to find a soldier to attack, his lawyer said Tuesday.
  

  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.

  Hartmann appeared before a judge Tuesday and was ordered held for another two weeks for investigation.

  "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.

  I guess he wasn't a Rush fan, or a Hannity fan either.

  I guess he wasn't a Rush fan, or a Hannity fan either.

  Unlikely, but there are crazies on both sides of the political spectrum. It is pretty obvious that this guy is on the left. The batshit crazy left, but the left nonetheless.

  All of this should be condemned, and that's not just a moral precept, it's a utilitarian one. Some maniacs need no prompting to kill, but other maniacs can be encouraged to kill, or discouraged to kill, according to the messaging of the group whose opinions they respect. Some of these guys think they will be greeted as heroes for murdering innocents.

  So you can just go walking into a train station past the security area with an axe? - "Well, you see, officer - I am a lumberjack, and my chainsaw is in the shop..."
