Many outlets have been saying the Colorado Springs shooter was from Western North Carolina, where I live. Since I have been active in the local prolife community, this bothered me. So I did a little snooping on-line.
I found that Dear does own property in Buncombe County (Asheville) though he lists his address on the property records for both parcels as South Carolina. The properties are low end. He also appears to have a residence in unincorporated Hartsel, Colorado and was registered to vote there as an unaffiliated voter. I'd say that makes him a Colorado resident. He never registered to vote in North Carolina.
Since Dear doesn't seem to have held a regular job, one has to wonder how he paid his bills. Property taxes are probably low on those two parcels, but it still takes ready cash. The family is from South Carolina. I have to wonder if the tax bills go to a relative or trustee there. From a professional point of view, he seems to me like the type of person whose inheritance might be put in a spendthrift trust. And I do suspect there might be some money in his family. One report says Dear listed his occupation as a "self employed art dealer." That's not usually an occupation for someone with middle or working class roots.
His father’s obit said he (father) was in the military, attended The Citadel. Sounded very respectable. The guy has a child who he raised, according to his ex. He has a degree from “a midwestern college”, according to his ex. He was an art dealer. What happened to him along the way, I have no idea. Seemed to be a typical loner. Lived in Black Mountain and had property of some sort in Swannanoa. I wonder why he ended up in Colorado? The pot maybe?
What I am really curious about is why the first name out there on police radio was Hamilton Williams. It was repeated and I am not the only one who heard it.
This FB page belongs to a Hamilton Williams. Notice he defends PP and sounds very liberal. Where did his name come from???
The entire episode is very strange. And if victims were shot by cops, will we ever know?
Depends on what you mean by “art”. Some people think porn is art.
