Colorado Springs Shooting Suspect's Anti-Obama Remarks Bring Secret Service Into Case, Sources Say

Source: ABC News

Colorado Springs shooting suspect Robert Dear allegedly made statements about President Obama that were concerning enough he now has the attention of the U.S. Secret Service, which has dispatched agents to evaluate the remarks and possibly interview him, law enforcement sources tell ABC News.

Dear remains in jail as he awaits his first court appearance, scheduled for Monday. He was arrested Friday after an hours-long standoff with police at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs that left three people dead and nine others wounded.

He allegedly made the anti-Obama remarks during or after the incident at Planned Parenthood, not before. Sources said it was unclear whether the remarks constitute a threat, but the Secret Service is investigating.

Dear also allegedly made rambling comments during the incident, some of which suggested animosity toward the health care provider, according to law enforcement sources.

Ted Cruz just said Dear is a "leftist"

Why would a leftist threaten Obama?

Oh.

They're making it up as they go along

See? It's ten times easier to spew bullshit than it is to dispel it.

By the time you've finished debunking one, they can create ten more to keep you busy and out of the way.

The guy is jailed, being charged with 3 murders. He's not going anywhere near a White Castle, much less the White House.

I guess they have to investigate every threat against the President, no matter how far fetched.
