Colorado Springs police responded this afternoon to reports of an active shooter at a Planned Parenthood facility:

Yet neighbors in NC state Dear was rambling and incoherent when they spoke with him.

Two victims will be identified to the public after autopsies on Monday. per FOX

So he doesn’t have a real internet footprint we know about, the reporters will go to his little town to try to find out about him I’m sure but as of now, we know nothing. Chances are, he will be evaluated as insane actually.

Even is they go there, they still may not find out much. Hartsel is a little bitty fly speck of a town. There's not much there and only a couple of houses right in town. He probably lives out in the sticks. I'd be kinda surprised if he even has water and electricity. There's just not much of anything around there.

Yet his voter registration is unaffiliated and neighbors in NC say he never spoke about religion or abortion. He sure doesn't look like a pamphlet-passing kind of guy, does he? Very disorganized, living in a shack in NC with no running water or electricity, peeping tom, shooter of dogs, hiding in bushes making unwanted advances towards a neighbor woman, hitting his wife.

Saw Julie Banderas on Faux news and her defense lawyer guest promote the PP angle as if proven fact.

"Yet neighbors in NC state Dear was rambling and incoherent when they spoke with him."

Last report from North Carolina in 2004 (actual report date--see image of report behind Buzzfeed link)?

[austingirl]

Speculation on Faux news they may not have been hit by Dear’s bullets, but caught in crossfire. Could that be the reason for the delay?

[Colorado Doug]

It seems they have done an "internet scrub".

Based on where he lived, unless he had satellite, he probably didn't have Internet service. Hartsel is in the middle of nowhere. I got caught in a blizzard in that area once. You're on your own.

People who are rambling and incoherent (all mentally ill) should not possess firearms.

Saw a report he bought the land and trailer in Hartsel one year ago. No one knew him because he didn’t say much per local café owner.

[smokingfrog]

I looked for it but couldn’t find it. The other time he was on Fallon, I watched the YouTube vid but could not understand 1/3rd of what he wuz sayin. Just pure garbage passes for talent these days ..... I guess.

[SE Mom]

Thanks for correcting my mistake. I read right past the sentence that says it was a neighbor in Colorado who saw him Wednesday.

"Saw a report he bought the land and trailer in Hartsel one year ago. No one knew him because he didn’t say much per local cafe owner."

Some folks who pass through there said that the place is in a small, bright yellow building elevated a little above the road, and it's called Bayou Salado. They said the honest people there have been there all their lives, are nice, sociable, know much about the area, are great with conversation, sell great coffee, ice cream and other good stuff along with some really pretty and unusual works of craftsmanship to look at. They're the go-to folks for any and all information about the people and the area. ...much better place to stop, snack and chat than the more obvious station next door to it.

[SE Mom]

Holy crap, that would be awful. I wonder if they’re hearing that on background.

[austingirl]

Could be pure speculation- sort of surprised to hear it on the airwaves, though. We’ll find out Monday.

[familyop]

Oh, that’s fine, and you’re welcome. Thanks for being so gracious. Thought you might be interested, because CO politicos and media folks have put some rhetoric into redirecting the story to North Carolina and implying that he just popped in from there very recently.

“Ones religion is not the issue.”

Muslim terrorism is performed specifically to advance Islam across the world, sometimes masked as a retaliation for something done to Muslims in the past.

I can only think of one case where a terror act was committed specifically because of Christian ideals, and that would be Erik Rudolph.

A Christian might commit a terror act, but usually not in the very name of Christianity. A Muslim will commit an act of terror because someone else is not following Islam (Ikea beheading), has insulted Islam or Mohammed (Charlie Hebdo), or because some non-Muslim harmed a Muslim somewhere sometime (Boston Marathon bombing, Madrid bombings).

So it does make a difference.

RFK was killed by a Rosicrucian (!) but he did not act in the name of that religion.

[lavaroise]

Fox News still reporting the shooting occured outside the facility and not at the facility initially.

It is a good propaganda for gun control because abortion is intimidated on women as well as gun control

[austingirl]

Story says it’s the Highline Café. Also a priest in Colorado Springs who holds a mass at PP each week says Dear is not part of his group. That is clear just by looking at the mug shot- that man is deranged. Investigation looking at Dear’s mental health per one website.

“I hate the term “Shelter in place”. When did that become a phrase anyway?”

It comes from planning collective protection for chem or bio attacks. It’s been around for a while. There is a pretty funny training video about shelter in place, in a setting where a family is living on base when a storage site leaks.

"Yet neighbors in NC state Dear was rambling and incoherent when they spoke with him."

Yeah, sounds like some of the clinically paranoid folks, although I'm not a psych. Some of them babble disjointedly about conspiracy stories and the like while connecting with reality enough to get around like he did. Schizophrenics, on the other hand, are often too disconnected with realities around them to carry out any schemes and much more often harmless (e.g., falling in love with trees and the like).
