Planned Parenthood Shooter Admired Florida Doctor's Killer

The man who acknowledges killing three people at a Colorado Planned Parenthood clinic idolized an abortion foe who killed a Florida doctor more than two decades earlier, court documents released Monday show.

Robert Dear told police he attacked the clinic in Colorado Springs because he was upset with the reproductive health organization for "the selling of baby parts," according to the court documents, which give the deepest look yet into his seething disdain for abortion providers. Dear also told investigators he put glue in the locks at an abortion clinic when he lived in South Carolina, a common protest technique among activists trying to shut down such facilities.

The documents were unsealed Monday after The Associated Press and other news outlets petitioned the state's highest court for their release. Judge Gilbert Martinez initially refused to make them public, saying the media do not have a First Amendment right to access court documents, which prompted the monthslong court fight over records that are routinely released in criminal cases. They include Dear's arrest warrant and warrants to search Dear's pickup truck, computer, emails and tumbledown trailer in rural Hartsel, Colorado.

Dear, 57, is charged with 179 counts, including murder, attempted murder and assault, in the Nov. 27 attack. He held police at bay for more than five hours at the clinic, injuring nine others and forcing the evacuation of hundreds of people from surrounding businesses. As he was being put in a patrol car, Dear began yelling about the killing of babies and "no more baby parts," according to the court documents.

1. I wonder if Bill Oriely fells bad about any of this.

After all he kind of helped to paint that target.

I guess as far as karma goes he kind of got an abortion of his own since he no longer has his kids.

He always reminded me of the Ron Perlman in "The Last Suppper"...

3. Too bad Robert Dear had such low standards. He grew up to be a pathetic, hate-filled loser. n/t

4. This is the result of pushing these lies

You take someone who is already mentally unstable and feed them hours and hours of "they are killing babies to sell the body parts" then add an unhealthy amount of religion and Bingo: The person then feels completely justified in saving the innocent babies from demons.

I place the blame on these deaths on every right wing organization perpetuating these lies.

5. Agree 100% that is the main problem.
