NBC News

The day after a gunman killed three people and shot nine others at a Colorado Planned Parenthood office, officials tell NBC News a motive remains unclear, but say the suspect talked about politics and abortion.

Robert Lewis Dear, a North Carolina native who was living in a trailer in Colorado, made statements to police Friday at the scene of the Colorado Springs clinic and in interviews that law enforcement sources described as rantings.

In one statement, made after the suspect was taken in for questioning, Dear said "no more baby parts" in reference to Planned Parenthood, according to two law enforcement sources with knowledge of the case.

What else could be the reason? I guess they forget to mention the arson spree someone went on to desrtoy PP buildings just a few months ago. Ah that corporate media...anything to keep a paycheck going. Even if it harms the nation.

3. It is Colorado Springs...

One of the biggest fundie towns in the world. The Justice Dept. needs to get down there asap.

8. I agree.

Justice Dept. needs to get there ASAP.

Actually, they should have been there already, considering the threats.

4. Why would his living accomodations be noteworthy?

Many people live their entire lives in trailers and they don't go on shooting rampages.

6. That struck me as a little odd too.

Maybe they used trailer, hoping people would take it as travel trailer as in transient (not one of us; it's not us).

7. I didn't know anything about it until I read this.

I wonder if they meant a camper or an RV?


... as if they wanted to suggest "troubled loner" .

12. could be a dog-whistle to get us from trailer to "trailer trash'

the narrative being constructed require demeaning Dear as much as is possible.

5. I blame house republicans for drilling Planned Parenthood!

[Kath1]

9. They fueled the hate.

Without a doubt.

10. They are promoting the atmosphere for terrorism!

Somewhere some rethug is patting himself on the back for a job well done.
