Pro-life regulars in Colorado Springs say shooting suspect is unknown to them
I'm gonna call bullshit on this.
to be honest, this guy didn't sound that sophisticated/informed if he had no idea about the extreme security measures already in place inside and that he probably wouldn't be able to get past them.
Of course he was an antiabortion nut. I mean, I completely understand why people encourage waiting for at least some facts before forming opinions in some situations but come on. Occam's razor people, ok?!

Oh you guys. I was just told we can't bring this guy's race into it, because he didn't hold hostage and kill people out of a racial motivation. So yeah.

Once again, Buzzfeed is the media outlet actually doing real reporting on this. This article discusses what was happening in the building as everything unfolded. Kudos to the staff of PP for remaining calm and saving lives.
Does anyone know if there are processes in place to get the women who were scheduled for procedures, especially abortion, from COS to another clinic? I know they're planning on reopening the COS clinic asap but that could be too late for some women to get an abortion when they need to.

Ugh, no. I trust PP will figure this out, though.
I'm sure they will too. I wish the creeper van had seats because I could take several people to another clinic.

The Buzzfeed article definitely showed the staff's quick thinking and level-headed presence of mind to help save lives.
But once again, it PISSES ME OFF that the onus is on them to know how not to die. Not on America to evaluate its gun issue or the Right to govern its vitriol, particularly towards abortion.
Nevermind...looks like the buzzfeed article already reported that.
Everyone: why did he do this?
the killer: No more selling baby parts.
Everyone: it's too early to say why he did this. Why did he do this?
lol, it's like he didn't even talk. He can just stay silent and everyone can project their fantasy onto him.
I *think* that because it's only been unnamed sources quoting him that news sources are refraining from saying officially what his motive was. At least that is what I took from the articles.

Not sure if it was legit, but I thought one of the article I read said that this particular clinic did not even perform abortions there. So, hopefully at least one bright spot would be that this didn't prevent anyone from their procedure before it was too late. Like I said though, I don't know if this is true or how to verify.
Its own website says it does. Pretty easy to verify.

I saw this article yesterday and I'm worried about how long they'll have to stay closed. They're the only PP in Southern Colorado.
Planned Parenthood says Colorado Springs facility is "destroyed" By Zach Thaxton Connect
Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains says its health center in Colorado Springs is "destroyed" following Friday's shooting rampage.
Sarah Taylor-Nanista, Vice President of Development for PPRM, said in a statement Saturday evening, "What we do know is that our health center has been destroyed."
The building sustained extreme damage Friday when law enforcement officers utilized a Bearcat fortified tactical vehicle to make entry into the building for the protection of entering officers and to safely transport victims out of the building. Heavy gunfire was also exchanged inside the building on Centennial Boulevard.
All PPRM staff were accounted for and uninjured in the shooting, allegedly perpetrated by Robert Lewis Dear, 57, most recently of Hartsel. PPRM says health center doors across the region, except the Colorado Springs facility, reopened Saturday to "ensure that our patients were able to access the critical healthcare that we provide day in and day out...no matter what," the statement said.

Yeah.
I'm definitely feeling something over the fact they drove through the lobby. I know the John Oliver segment is influencing my skepticism. But clearly I wasn't there and it was a 5+ hour ordeal with causalities so I reserve judgment for now.
I really can't believe more of the gop hasn't at least made some generic statement about the tragedy of a dead cop. Do blue lives only matter when a black person is involved?

Carly Fiorina went on tv to say it was tragic and that PP sells body parts and that it is not inflammatory to say so because it is true. <)

Everyone remember, though, BLM rhetoric led to the murder of that officer last year. But conservative rhetoric did not lead to the murder of this officer or anyone else.
