Everyone seems to be playing their assigned role in reaction to the shootings at a Colorado Planned Parenthood clinic. Dude was clearly nuts. He beat his ex-wife and got arrested for being a peeping tom, so obviously he shouldn’t have been allowed to have a gun.
Oh, he wasn’t convicted of doing any of those things? Never mind.
He somehow managed to kill a police officer and then surrender peacefully? That’s a long way from what happens to black kid who slashes tires in Chicago. Maybe the police should have killed this guy just to remain consistent. Oh, and if anyone notices the discrepancy in treatment, they’re race-baiting morons and delusional fools, according the Colorado Fraternal Order of Police.
Of course, long before it was clear what had happened, my Twitter feed lit up like a Christmas tree with people blaming Republicans for inciting the attack. Maybe his alleged reference to “no more baby parts” supports that presumption. I just thought we were supposed to have some evidence before we started accusing people other than the shooter of being responsible for a spree killing.
And, finally, you have the really wretched folks who think murdering cops or Planned Parenthood employees is a great idea.
I guess now is the time to grind your ax.
