'God's Misfits' Charged In Killing Of Moms In Custody Dispute

You know the origin of the term "God's Misfits"? Evangelical pastors love to talk about how God uses His "misfits" to do his will. You can see why that idea would appeal to these violent knuckledraggers. Via the Associated Press:

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Two Kansas women who vanished as they tried to pick up children for a birthday party two weeks ago were killed over a custody dispute involving a group of anti-government Oklahomans calling themselves “God’s Misfits,” authorities said Monday.

Their vehicle was found March 30 along a rural Oklahoma highway with ample evidence of a bloody confrontation, setting off a multi-agency effort to secure the children’s safety while searching for the women and avoiding more violence.

Veronica Butler, 27, and Jilian Kelley, 39, of Hugoton, Kansas, had arranged with the grandmother of Butler’s two children to meet at a highway intersection on the morning of March 30 and pick up the 6- and 8-year-old.

I am always astounded at the sheer number of crazy people who can't seem to find a non-violent solution to custody disputes. Nothing says "loving grandmother" like killing your grandbabies' mother!
