For those who wanted to reserve judgement as to whether Robert Lewis Dear specifically targeted Planned Parenthood on the basis of his anti-abortion beliefs, HERE YOU GO:Dear appears to have been opposed to the reproductive health agency for decades. Barbara Mescher Michaux, who was married to Dear from 1985 to 1993, said Tuesday that Dear once put glue in the locks of a Planned Parenthood clinic near where they were living at the time and "that was over 20 years ago when he did that," she said.
Mescher Michaux, who lives in South Carolina with her current husband, said Tuesday she was convinced that Dear specifically targeted the Colorado clinic last week.
"For him to plan this and go there, he meant to go there," she said. "There is no doubt in my mind."
Mescher Michaux said Dear "used to be a very smart man," but at some point, he became mercurial, unpredictable and violent.
"He would spin on a dime from being OK to being furious," she said. "He was abusive very abusive emotionally, abusive physically. You never knew. It was always nerve-racking because you never knew what he was going to be like."

To even think that the republicans are sanctioning this violence against PP is unethical and they need to look at themselves as they are no fucking leaders, they are inciting killing. Is this what America has turned into? Boggles my mind! God help Americans if Fiornia gets another vote, she is a sick woman! She is no comparison to lying, she is a liar through and through!
