The Most Surprising Thing About the Colorado Springs Shooting
Red State ^ | December 1st, 2015 | Erick Erickson

Posted on 12/01/2015 5:33:35 AM PST by detective

This past Friday, a lunatic who lived in a shack with no running water or electricity killed three people in Colorado Springs, CO. He wound up going into a Planned Parenthood facility. Three people were killed. None of those were abortionists or patients. A pro-life Christian preacher/police officer was one of the victims.

The shooter was not a Christian. He never attended church. He was not pro-life.The UCCS police officer who was shot was pro life and Christian.

All three people shot were not Planned Parenthood employees. The shooter did not target Planned Parenthood.

During the last 8 years there have been many attacks on Americans by Muslims. There have been no attacks on abortionists.

Apparently, the Planned Parenthood clinic was just incidental to the location (a shopping mall), and this was a crazed loner, not even a Muslim, so it seems. The primary connection with PP was that was where he fled to and was eventually captured, but outside of a few minutes of terror, no kills took place in that facility. All the deaths were outside in the parking lot.

The “no more baby parts” comment was perhaps in no way related to the attack itself, more likely a passing observation on the place where the capture was effected.

George Tiller. But that was the only violence against Planned Infanticide in the last 20 years.

First, 12 people shot. Three people killed.

Next, the people shot were, at a minimum, in the PP parking lot. He did not flee to PP.

We don’t even know that the “no more baby parts” comment happened. That was some “anonymous” source that is not being proclaimed as fact.

And finally, he is mentally ill. Period. Just mentally ill.

When are we going to start talking about how we manage mentally ill people in this country?

MSN started with headline :”Source :’No more baby body parts” on Saturday afternoon. By yesterday, they had backed off to say “multiple media outlets have reported shooter said “no more...” How the lies get spread, quoting “un named sources, “ then quoting each other.

The question that the morons in Colorado need to be asking themselves is what lured the lunatic from North Carolina to Colorado. Surely it wasn’t “recreational” marijuana.

That’s because it was a bank robbery gone bad.

(Hey, I'm 100% pro-life. But we don't know if PP was -- or wasn't -- targeted)

If shootings occurred @ let's say a hospital (& btw, Co Springs hospitals have indeed been under "lockdown" in recent days) -- & no hospital employees were shot -- but if friends/family of patients were...then, to try to conclusively say that "the hospital wasn't targeted" on the basis of no employees shot is downright ludicrous)

OK, there's enough articles out there to know about the two victims (beyond all those pre-born victims whose lives are taken @ PP) that...
...(a) The shooter began shooting before he entered PP, and then took out PP's front windows with his shots;
...(b) That the male victim, who was on a cellphone at the time outside PP, apparently went BACK inside to warn others...
...(c) That the male victim wasn't just there 'cause that's the "hangout place" somebody'd want to be on Black Friday morning -- and same w/the the female victim, who accompanied a friend to PP that a.m.

So, yeah, that tells me the shooter was being target-specific.

(Obviously, he didn't value life if he was taking it -- especially since he went after bystanders & pro-life policemen)

“but outside of a few minutes of terror, no kills took place in that facility. All the deaths were outside in the parking lot.”

How fast do we forget ...

“no kills took place in that facility. “ other than the unborn that lost their lives that day.

(My last post — #14 — was an “amend” to #12...I believe we actually DO have enough circumstantial evidence to say he indeed targeted PP...we just don’t have credible testimonial to conclude that)

Do we know this for certain? The male victim had indeed been outside on a cell phone; but one article claimed he went back inside to warn others.

(a) He already HAD been inside PP that a.m.;
and (b) ... A friend of his said he went BACK INSIDE to warn others once the parking lot shooting began...

We do not know why the shooter did what he did.

We do know that he was not a Christian and was not pro life despite the false narratives presented by the media and the liberal Democrat politicians.

If he had wanted to target PP and kill the employees he could have. He shot people outside in the parking lot.

Yet in Baraq’s latest lie-fest from Paris this morning, he talked about how wrong it is to demonize Planned Parenthood.

They don’t even bother to hide their lies any more.

You are right. Irreconcilable differences.

We will get along when God decides we should. Otherwise open conflict is unavoidable.
