Obama Equates Plannned Parenthood Shooting To Terrorist

Robert Lewis Dear, of Hartel, murdered 3 and injured
9 others during a shooting spree in Colorado Springs, Colorado
Paris, France, December 01, 2015 - "We have the power to do more to prevent gun homicides," President Obama said at a press conference in France during the conference on global climate change.

 "In the end of the day...Congress, states, local government will have to act to prevent persons who are deranged from getting weapons," the President said.

President Obama noted, Planned Parenthood, in some cases is the only organization which provides care to women.

"We can have a debate about abortion," the President said.  "I think it is fair to have a legitimate, honest debate about abortion.  How we talk about it, making sure we talk about it honestly, not demonize it," the President noted, will have an important impact on the result of this national debate.
"It is important in how we talk about organizations like planned parenthood, not demonize it," the President said.

The President's remarks may be hinting at the role right-wing rhetoric played in inciting the Colorado Springs shooter, Robert Lewis Dear.  NBC reported Dear as saying "No more baby parts", shortly after the shooting.

The President indicated shootings like the Planned Parenthood shootings don't happen in other countries.  The U.S. must take steps to ensure proper gun control comes to pass.

Family Of Fallen Officer Makes Statement

Words from the family of fallen officer Garrett Swasey


Officer Garrett Swasey was shot and killed as he responded
to police calls relating to a shooter at the Colorado Springs
Planned Parenthood.

Statement of Rachel Swasey, wife of Garrett Swasey:

The family of Officer Garrett Swasey sincerely thanks everyone for their support during this very difficult time. Our loss cannot be expressed in words. 
While the nation now knows Garrett as a hero who gave his life for others, he was also a devoted husband of 17 years and a wonderful father to his two children. His greatest joys were his family, his church, and his profession. 
We will cherish his memory, especially those times he spent tossing the football to his son and snuggling with his daughter on the couch.
Garrett was born in Melrose, Massachusetts. After a successful career in ice skating, Garrett found his calling as a police officer. Helping others brought him deep satisfaction and being a police officer was a part of him.

Garrett Swasey was a professional skater before he became a police officer.

In the end, his last act was for the safety and wellbeing of others and was a tribute to his life. What we need most today, and in the coming weeks, is your prayers for our family and for others who were impacted by this tragedy. 
We are grateful for the tremendous outpouring of love that has come from the community and across the nation.
We understand this is a public tragedy felt by many and we also appreciate your support for us to grieve privately.
Donations to help the family can be made to Youcaring.com.

Robert Dear Accused of shooting:


Robert Lewis Dear, a recent resident of Hartsel, Colorado, is being held as the primary suspect in the shooting that killed 3 people, including Officer Swasey.  Dear was reported to have said "No more baby parts" after the shooting.  Some right wing web posters applauded the man who others say committed domestic terrorism.

Dear was reported to be mostly anti-social as he made few friends in his new home in the ranching community of Hartsel, Colorado.  Dear bought a 4.72 acre property in October of 2014.  The parcel had no water, sewer or electricity.  Dear moved an RV onto the property anyways.

Dear was reportedly "starting over" after being charged as a "peeping tom" and with animal abuse in North Carolina.  Neighbors kept clear of the man who seemed to make little sense and who rarely appeared to be friendly.

President Obama has renewed his call for gun control after Dear entered a Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood clinic and opened fire with a "long rifle", more recently identified as an assault rifle.

Robert Lewis Dear Held In Colorado Springs Shooting

Another tragic day has been registered in the history of Colorado.  A lone gunman attacked the offices of Planned Parenthood in Colorado Springs, Colorado.  Three people are dead.



The authorities have been tight-lipped about motives for the shooting.  Robert Lewis Dear, aged 59, from South Carolina, is being held as the primary suspect in the shooting.



One of the persons Dear allegedly murdered was Garrett Swasey, a University of Colorado Police officer who responded to back up Colorado Springs Police at the Planned Parenthood clinic, located at 3480 Centennial Boulevard.




Little appears to be known about the alleged shooter, though speculation on social media is, Robert Lewis Dear has a criminal record and may be a member of a right-wing group opposed to abortions.
