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.

But the sources stressed that Dear said many things to law enforcement and the extent to which the "baby parts" remark played into any decision to target the Planned Parenthood office was not yet clear. He also mentioned President Barack Obama in statements.

Motive sounds pretty damn clear to me. And 'baby parts' ties it to that lying video.

[tblue37]

1. That's like when they said Dylan Roof's motive was unclear.

He spelled it out in big neon lights all over the place, but they just couldn't figure out why he killed those people in church.

[jalan48]

2. Exactly. It's as if the media wants to create that initial doubt that will stick in some minds.

[NeoConsSuck]

5. MSM and government

are terrified of right wing terrorists. If it was a leftist terrorist or foreign terrorist, would you be waiting 24 hours for details about the killer?

This is plain and simple, a coverup.

[Chef Eric]

18. The MSM are not terrified. They are complicit. Different things. nt

[Fritz Walter]

20. No shit!

Terrified and therefore burying it!
Their canned and ever-so-trite response will be: "He's mentally ill."

As if that will wipe the blood off their hands, not to mention the paws of the NRA's so-called leadership. (Please don't get me started on those soul-less fuckers!)

This is painful evidence why we cannot -- must not -- proceed with politics as usual, and business as usual.

2016 is our opportunity to change this alarming, spiraling decline of our culture. It's now or never!

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

26. Yes, call them what they are, right wing terrorist cowards.

[notadmblnd]

48. He he, they're not afraid

The right wing terrorists are doing their bidding. MSM and the majority party running this country are fricking encouraging it with their rhetoric. They'd be remiss if some nut job didn't get out their and commit these types of atrocities.

[Person 2713]

38. Exactly

[Jack Rabbit]

3. I guess that clears up his motive

Mrs. Fiorina, you have some 'splainin' to do.

[question everything]

4. Carly Fiorina should tell the families of the killed

how she contributed to their tragedies.

[Kingofalldems]

6. Carly Fiorina and James O'Keefe.

And their RW buddies at Fox News.

[Stryst]

30. Can charges be brought against them?

I mean, how is this any different than 'swatting' someone. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swatting)

They knowingly lied, and someone is dead directly because of it. Yeah, this a**hole pulled the trigger, but who made him think that he had to go be a hero and save all these babies?

Now, I'm no lawyer, but it seems like sedition would actually be the charge to push; "In law, sedition is overt conduct, such as speech and organization, that tends toward insurrection against the established order. Sedition often includes subversion of a constitution and incitement of discontent (or resistance) to lawful authority. Sedition may include any commotion, though not aimed at direct and open violence against the laws."

[smirkymonkey]

32. I would really love to see a precedent set here.

It might restore some civility to this nation's public discourse.

[renate]

37. I'm sure I'm hopelessly naive, but this sounds like a good idea

How is deliberately getting people riled up with lies unlike shouting "fire" in a theater?

[cui bono]

40. +1

[TipTok]

44. Out of the hundreds of times I've seen someone use 'fire in a theater'

I think maybe once it was actually used correctly...

[yurbud]

7. the right HOPES they can bait people into violence

[fasttense]

8. Exactly. n/t

[2naSalit]

13. and it seems that

about every week or so they succeed. I have nothing positive to say about any of that gang.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

9. Carly Fiorina, Rush Limbaugh, James O'Keefe, Bill O'Reilly,Breitbart.com, Mike Huckabee,FOX News....

You built that.

And I'm sure we can count on our illustrious "lib'rul media" to hold them accountable for pushing the lies and smears.

[2naSalit]

14. ^^THIS^^

[bvf]

33. They are all complicit.

High-priced legal counsel be damned. They are all just as responsible as if they had pulled the trigger themselves.

[sinkingfeeling]

10. But there'ss no indication of a motive.

[shenmue]

11. Yesterday, people were telling me "We don't know"

Lying fucks. Anyone with a lick of sense knew why, the second they heard about it.

[world wide wally]

12. I am all for free speech, but there are consequences for what is said in public.

I wouldn't be opposed to some kind of consequences for public figures who deliberately pass on lies that could incite others to violence.
Hear that Carly,Rush,..et al?

[TipTok]

45. I am always amazed...

That folks who want to determine legal and illegal speech always assume the rule makers will agree with them.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

15. No more baby parts but it's still unknown as to his motives

Same shit, different day.

[2naSalit]

16. I'm interested in hearing what survivors have to say. nt

[mentalsolstice]

25. Oh I bet you are! nt

[2naSalit]

27. That's an odd response...

I kind of wonder what you mean by it.

I don't want to speculate on so little evidence, though I do suspect that a lot of the outrage is probably correct in it's roots. I think more and valuable information will come out when the survivors of the event start telling their stories.

If your comment is based on snark, please go peddle that stuff elsewhere.

[cui bono]

41. Very odd.

[2naSalit]

42. Indeed.

As I read through the comments I noticed a lot of usernames I haven't seen around here before, some kind of vicious.

I think that it's not too soon to have another conversation about gun policy but it is too soon to pass judgement here. If only some would stop and consider if it were someone they cared about as the shooter and look at how they sound with those comments...

[Akamai]

17. Walks like a duck, feathers like a duck, craps like a duck -- It ain't a poodle!

All these f--ing PP opponents are looking for is temporary plausible deniability. And these insane asshats are hoping people will forget the issues, lose the issues in the distractive sounds, etc.

What terrible putzes the RW anti-PP jerks are!

[DallasNE]

29. How "Fired Up" Does Rubio Want People To Get?

It seems as though they are already far too fired up. And this just shows how dangerous inflammatory propaganda videos can be.

[elljay]

23. Unclear?

We can't infer a motive from his talking about abortion, "no more baby parts" and attacking a Planned Parenthood, but we can infer a motive from someone shooting up a theater while screaming Allahu Akhbar?

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

28. The target might be a clue.

[liberalnarb]

24. I blame fiorina and the center for medical "progress"

They blood on their hands. Lying and fearmongering is a dangerous habit

[Spitfire of ATJ]

31. The guy could rage that FOX "News" was his source and NOTHING would be done.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

34. I expect that asshole from Illinois to have his apology ready n/m

[Hepburn]

35. OMG.......OMFG......

This makes me ill.... People lost their lives for the POS video!

[SoapBox]

36. Fiorina...

Be proud Ms. PukeBagger.

[SunSeeker]

39. Such a surprise.

[LibDemAlways]

43. If an author included this incident and the

media's reaction to it in a fictional story and submitted it to a publisher, it would be rejected out of hand as implausible. A shooter at Planned Parenthood is heard to rant against "baby parts," and the press fails to make the connection. Ridiculous.

[4dsc]

46. This story is already fading from the media

The Des Moines Register for one hasn't updated its story since it first aired. How sad.

[Botany]

47. "no more baby parts" ..... thanks a lot Carly

Carly has blood on her hands today.

Carly, Cruz, Hannity, Fox News, and all the other mother fuckers who pushed
lies about selling "baby parts" and what P.P. really does have blood on their hands
too.

[uppityperson]

49. Planned Parenthood says Colorado shooter opposed abortion

http://mobile.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN0TH05O20151129

Planned Parenthood said on Sunday that news reports that the gunman who attacked its Colorado health clinic had uttered "no more baby parts" during his arrest showed that the suspect was motivated by an anti-abortion agenda.

The remark attributed to the suspect, identified by police as Robert Lewis Dear, was an apparent reference to Planned Parenthood's abortion activities and its role in delivering fetal tissue to medical researchers, a hot button issue in the 2016 race for the presidency.

"We now know the man responsible for the tragic shooting at PP's health center in Colorado was motivated by opposition to safe and legal abortion," the organization said on Twitter....
