The mayor of Colorado Springs says authorities aren't ready to discuss a possible motive of the gunman who attacked a Planned Parenthood clinic there but says people can make "inferences from where it took place."

John Suthers says investigators have interviewed 57-year-old Robert Lewis Dear of North Carolina but says authorities still want to learn more about him, suggesting that his mental health was part of the investigation.

Before being elected mayor earlier this year, Suthers served as the state's attorney general and said he investigated complaints of misconduct against Planned Parenthood. He praised the security staff working at the clinic Friday and said they were "incredibly helpful" in working with police to monitor the gunman's whereabouts on surveillance video and advising on the building's layout.

1. IOW: If it walks and talks like a duck,

It is a fucking duck.

[sinkingfeeling]

2. Was just about to post this from ABC.

[Triana]

3. So. Another "mentally ill" gunman. But not a homegrown American Terrorist.

I see.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

6. Technically speaking, religious extremists (of any religion)

Have mental issues too. I guess we should coddle them too.

[christx30]

11. But any attempt to get guns out of the hands

of the mentally ill can't be allowed.
Because I guarantee, this isn't the guy's first sign of a mental issue. But the righties won't allow guns to be taken away from the mentally ill. Because they know that a lot of what they do can get them labeled as such.

4. Nothing to see here folks -

just another nut with a gun. But it's an isolated incident and who can tell when these things will happen? Que sera sera and all that s**t. Don't politicize it. Too soon to discuss gun control laws.

[OldHippieChick]

5. He's a RW tool, so be wary

of any crap coming out of his mouth as he "hints" at mental issues. Suthers is former AG of CO and is very RW.

[niyad]

15. and that is about the nicest thing one can say about him.

[Floyd Steinberg]

21. I skip Colorado Springs

I go to Manitou Springs, a liberal city in a sea of red.

I do my shopping near the penny arcade. My son loves that place.

7. Here we go again

The right-wing tools scramble to show that Lewis Dear was not radicalized by right wing tools!

8. ISIS

iSIS beheads people. We don't talk about their upbringing or mental health. We call them terrorists.

This is no different. This killer is a terrorist. Whether he is merely a white terrorist or a Christian terrorist remains to be seen. But make no mistake. In the context of other such attacks, this man is a terrorist.

18. you know, thats a really fucking good point.

just became one of my major talking points.

9. A True Politician

on both sides of the aisle publicly

Yes, they will lame the perp's mental health

so they can ignore true motives. Sanitized to suit
the politicians' political agenda

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

10. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, what could the motive be?

A fanatical fundamentalist extremist christian takes a gun to a Planned Parenthood clinic, what could the motive be?

Let me ponder this ...

[freshwest]

22. Thanks, you nailed it. The wingnuts won't talk about their agenda. GOP/Koch: Incoming, deflect! n/t

[Sunlei]

12. Another 'home grown' american terrorist! & another RW mouth make excuses for the killers behavior.

[AzDar]

13. Soooo... can we call the Terrorist a " Radicalized Fundamentalist Christian Extremist" yet?

Because we all know that's what he IS...

16. Unknown Motive? CNN No Motive in Killing Colorado “BULL” GOP/Religious Right Insanity Kills

Unknown Motive? CNN No Motive in Killing Colorado “BULL” GOP/Religious Right Insanity Kills

Unknown Motive

Charles Manson never killed anyone but is still doing life in prison for orchestrating Sharon Tate Murders, but those that promote Lies and Deceit to Propagate Killing of Doctors and People associated with Planned Parenthood is Politically and Religiously your duty and those that get hurt or killed is just collateral damage or unknown motive

Planned Parenthood shooting: Gunman named but “motive unknown”

"The CEO of StemExpress should be hung by the neck using piano wire and propped up on the lawn in front of the building with a note attached," Joseywhales wrote, according to a legal complaint filed by the National Abortion Federation in a California district court.
The person then posted Dyer's home address and offered "ten grand to whomever beats me" to her house, warning that Dyer "must die to save the innocents."
According to abortion rights advocates, Joseywhales' post is just one example of an alarming spike in death threats and violent acts against abortion providers, clinics and companies that work with them since the undercover videos of Planned Parenthood were released.

Two Planned Parenthood clinics have reported arsons, anti-abortion protesters are showing up in large numbers at doctors' homes, and commenters on conservative websites and online forums are calling for the bombings of abortion clinics across the country, according to Vicki Saporta, president of the National Abortion Federation. Saporta is so alarmed by the escalation of threats against providers that she asked the U.S. Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigations to intervene.

Caught in a fib (Don’t Say Outright Lie), Fiorina refuses to acknowledge misstep

At last week’s Republican debate, Carly Fiorina described a Planned Parenthood video showing “a fully formed fetus on the table, its heart beating, its legs kicking, while someone says, ‘We have to keep it alive to harvest its brain.’”

There is no such video. It does not exist. This pesky detail has since touched off a striking series of events.

First, the GOP candidate insisted the day after the debate that she “didn’t misspeak,” adding, “I have seen those images.” Of course, Fiorina couldn’t have seen those images, because there are no such images.

17. could years of listening bill o'liely and rush limpbags spewing hate

be the root cause of mental instability in this country?

[smirkymonkey]

20. Oh good, I hope they find something real soon!

This is just such a mystery!

[Daniel537]

23. Yes, it is quite the mystery.

Maybe it will go unsolved for eternity like the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. If only we knew.
