Here’s some spin from my local news page: “Ironic: This is the first mass shooting where the doctors killed more people than the gunman did at the scene of the crime.” And so it begins. ---

Christian extremists, gun nuts, whatever. They’re all terrorists, ‘cause they’re killin’ for a cause. Folks, you really need to start dealing seriously with your extreme religious right hate mongers, ditch that 2nd, and put in some reasonable gun control, if you want to catch up with the developed world. In other words, start recognize and deal with teh cultural crazy. ---

I wonder if this nutjob watched those heavily edited undercover planned parenthood video clips where they tried to make it seem like they were selling baby body parts in a profit scheme, which multiple investigations debunked any illegal actions were taking place. I think the last I read one cop, and a few civilians were dead, and multiple injuries. Sort of makes you wonder about the motives of the film makers, did they just want to cut government funding or were they hoping this kind of thing would happen? ---

Does anyone know if this one does, or did? Most reports I’ve seen that mention the subject say “abortion services” (one of the early reports stated that while the clinic provided abortion referrals, it did not actually perform the procedure). On the other hand, a headline and article from Reuters — via MSN — refer to it as an “abortion clinic.” Draw your own conclusions. (Actually, to people like some of my relatives it makes no difference: the receptionist who supplies the name of an abortion provider is just as culpable as that provider, and deserves to die as well.) ---

Good luck with that! The pro-gun filth always reminds me of those yahoos in the 19th century who railed against mandatory school attendance for children. ---

> [@nearwildheaven](#): > > Most Planned Parenthood clinics don’t do abortions anyway. Does anyone know if this one does, or did? The article I quoted yesterday said that the Pullman clinic provided abortion referrals but didn’t do abortions at the site. Not that it makes the least bit of difference. Article about recent string of arson attacks on Planned Parenthood Clinic - > **[Abortion Clinics Are Burning, But No One Seems to Care](https://www.vice.com/en/article/abortion-clinics-are-burning-but-no-one-seems-to-care/)** > > In the past four months, anti-abortion extremists have allegedly set four Planned Parenthood locations on fire.

How soon before someone blames this on “legal recreational marijuana.” Of course, the real reason is the radical pro-life movement. How pro-life is killing cops?
