Discussion for article #243308

Sounds like a real piece of work. And of course, after all that, he was STILL ABLE TO BUY A GUN! Sorry for the shout, but I’ve nothing left but to scream anymore at this insanity.

He got custody of their 12 year old son? I feel bad for that kid.

Why do they always give these shooters bullet-proof vests? Shouldn’t they have to take their chances, just like all their victims?

Suspected shooter?
SUSPECTED?
He was taken into custody IN THE BUILDING and HE HAD GUNS. The guns which were used to kill people. I don’t think this man’s guilt is an issue.

It was pointed out by CNN that the vest is an anti-suicide contraption.

Ah. In that case, no problems. If he wants to end it, better to not let him.

We’re really so much more sensitive to the criminals than the victims.

Guess that’s what you get for “guns4all” and incitement of the idiots you arm.

This guy has Religious FOX Viewer and R-W Hate Radio Devotee written all over him. He is the ultimate poster child for Liberal-hating, paranoid, right wing militant nut jobs–the final, trickle-down distillation of conservative propaganda. Expect more of this, as the GOP is a speeding train with no one at the switch.

Ain’t it wonderful?
Guns4all …even refugees (not that they would harm anyone) and those arriving as tourists to actually do us harm, or the crazies who already are here. No reason to restrict availability, right? I mean the NRA says it’s cool.

One other passing thought: The pilgrims got here as religious people fleeing persecution in their homeland. They were refugees on America’s shore (literally). Lucky for them there were no GOPers about to be afraid of them and cast 'em back to Europe.

TPM quotes his ex wife Barbara and leaves out this:

Robert Louis Dear — the right-wing Christian terrorist who attacked a Planned Parenthood location in Colorado Springs — was a violent, woman-hating serial offender with a history of sexual assault and domestic violence. An ex-wife said in court documents that the 57-year-old believes that “as long as he’s saved” by Jesus Christ, “he can do whatever he pleases.”

Hot-tempered and unstable, he “erupts into fury in a matter of seconds,” said Dear’s second wife Barbara Mescher to attorneys. In her time with Dear, she testified, she continually “lived in fear and dread of his emotional and physical abuse.”

“He claims to be a Christian and is extremely evangelistic, but does not follow the Bible in his actions,” Mescher said. “He says that as long as he believes he will be saved, he can do whatever he pleases. He is obsessed with the world coming to an end.”

I once went to Colorado Springs on business a few years ago. I attended a conference in the downtown area. One evening we were told to stay in doors and not go to a particular area in town around the Walmart because there was a possible shooter on the loose. I don’t think anyone was shot that evening, but it must seriously attract the crazies.

Anybody know of any studies conducted that explains this fascination? I’m serious, I’ve never understood it or come across anything explaining why this is such a freaking fascination.

I think for some people the certainty of an imminent global catastrophe on a biblical scale is preferable to the uncertainty of living in a changing world that challenges your assumptions and perceived position of privilege.

Sound familiar? Exchange Christian with Muslim and Quoran with Bible and you have a radicalized ISIL terrorist.

Why do we not say this man was radicalized?
