That is why Operation Rescue was bombing the clinics at night; for the longest time there were no other fatalities.

ABC reporting 3 dead which includes one police officer and nine? injured.

It's already being blamed on right wing (by commenters). I fear much damage has been done to pro-lifers even if it does turn out that it was incidental to a crime nearby.

[windsorknot]

The libs are already using this to smear all conservative Christians.

They will try (anything); but if this tactic or strategy were actually a part of a larger Christian conservative movement, it would be happening a lot more frequently. In the meantime the abortuaries will continue to kill and dismember the unborn.

[windsorknot]

Recall how the “pro-choice” Left turned the murder of Dr. George Tiller into a canonization?

[NKP_Vet]

The shooting in Colorado Springs is the first time I can recall liberals being concerned for human life at a Planned Parenthood. But then again they don’t think the 65 million babies that have been murdered are human life to start with.

[Artcore]

Do we know where the 2 civilians were murdered yet? I’m confused? Vicki Cowart, president and chief executive of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains said in the Washington Post story that:

“...there were no known injuries to the clinic’s staff or patients...”

Local libs on our news website are emphatic that these two civilians were murdered at the PP clinic. Again, if no patients or staff were injured according to Ms. Cowart, who does this leave at the PP clinic to be murdered?

I thought that these two individuals were murdered at other locations...not the PP clinic?

Our local libs are desperately clinging to this theory so they can point to the Domestic Terrorism of Christians and Conservatives.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Your post 13 is inappropriate. One evil does not justify another. They should never be compared.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

They want to put all pro-lifers on the terrorist watch list. Crime happens everywhere. Terrorism is a group that pushes terror for fun, profit, and political power. These are not the same.

If the left does this, the right needs to look for groups they can label the same what. I seem to remember Jeffry Dahmer was a homosexual.

[BeadCounter]

Yes, I guess about Dahmer, threads have been posted here that a number of serial killers are homosexual.

You don’t have to be a xian to be angry that PP killed your child and left you (ie the baby’s father) without a word to say about it.

Blaming xians for shooting/bombing abortuaries is just one more of those language brainwashing tactics which smears xians but also serves to erase any possibility that murdered children have fathers who care about them, too.

Really, have you noticed that any time an abortuary is involved, the first thing we think about is...did a xian do it? The thought about an angry dad is the LAST thought on our minds!

a guy robs a bank, ducks into the nearest building which just happens to be an abortuary..or a front for one, and the first thing on anybody’s mind is whether or not a xian did something bad. just wow.

It just happened to hit me as to the extent of the brain washing :(

my empathy and sympathy to the injured officers and their families.

“You don’t have to be a xian to be angry that PP killed your child and left you (ie the baby’s father) without a word to say about it.”

How would a Christian man be in that position?

[kaehurowing]

What is it about crazies in Colorado Springs?

[jonrick46]

Planned Parenthood Rocky Mountains CEO Vicki Cowart said it wasn’t yet clear whether the women’s health organization was the target of the attack. Cowart did, however, say that anti-abortion “extremists” have created a “poisonous environment that feeds domestic terrorism in this country.”

The pro-abortion Left will milk this incident for all its worth. This is all a part of the War on Women agenda they will use to thrust der Hildabeast into the White House.

Yes, I heard it started as a bank robbery also and the coward went into the PP building for cover.

Planned Parenthood Shooter=> Robert Lewis Dear, Age 59, From North Carolina

The suspect was identified as Robert Lewis Dear, age 59. CBS Local reported:

Nine people who were wounded — five police officers and four civilians — were hospitalized in good condition, Buckley said. The extent of their injuries was not known, although CBS Denver reported that one officer was shot in the hand.

Three law enforcement sources identified the suspect to CBS News as Robert Lewis Dear, 59. Authorities believed he acted alone, according to Buckley.

UPDATE: Robert Lewis Dear is from North Carolina. FOX News reported:

A law enforcement official tells the Associated Press the gunman in a shooting at a Colorado Planned Parenthood Friday has been identified as Robert Lewis Dear.

The shooter is from North Carolina, the unidentified official told AP. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to speak about the ongoing investigation.

Three people, including one police officer, were killed in Friday’s attack. The gunman was taken into custody after an hours-long standoff and shootout. Authorities have yet to determine a motive behind the shooting or whether the gunman had any connection to Planned Parenthood.

[af_vet_1981]

Well Planned Parenthood already came out and said that none of their staff or “Patients” were hurt so the two dead civilians were probably killed in the parking lot, supermarket, or bank

After comments misidentified the shooter yesterday I wouldn't put much hope in that rumor, or other news you read here first; how embarrassing that these threads misidentified the shooter ...

A police official in Colorado Springs, who was not authorized to speak, identified the man in custody as Robert Lewis Dear, 59. No other information about him was available.

The police did not describe the gunman’s motives. For hours on Friday, officers traded gunfire with him inside the clinic before they were able to shout to the man and persuade him to give up, according to Lt. Catherine Buckley, a police spokeswoman.

Officer Garrett Swasey, 44, was a six-year veteran of the force who worked at the city’s University of Colorado campus.Garrett Swasey, Officer Killed in Colorado, Is Recalled for Courage and FaithNOV. 28, 2015 “The perpetrator is in custody,” Mayor John Suthers said at an evening news conference. “There is a huge crime scene that has to be processed,” he said, “and we have to determine how many victims there are.”

Lieutenant Buckley said the gunman had brought several suspicious items to the clinic, and investigators were trying to determine whether they were explosives.

You don’t have to apologize for that.

[The_Republic_Of_Maine]

I’m glad King David didn’t feel like you do, have you ever read 1 Samuel 15 vs 2&3?

[SisterK]

It would be very telling if one of the citizens injured was Robert Lewis’ wife. The initial dialogue stated that it started as a domestic dispute until they got heavy into the PP spin.

[fatnotlazy]

As far as I know, God did not command us to go out and kill abortionists.

[The_Republic_Of_Maine]

Where do you find that in the Bible? Would you sue deadly force to stop someone from killing a new born, say five seconds after delivery?
