Colorado Shooting

There doesn't seem to be a lot of info on the Planned Parenthood shooting. I could say fuck the guns, but I say that all the time. Can't trash Christians as being responsible for this lone nut. The people who put together the sliced and cut video, I believe should be held accountable. They certainly are culpable in some way. I would urge civil suits against them by survivors of this tragedy. Sue the shit out of them.

The National Abortion Federation has reported an uptick in incidents involving clinics since The Center for Medical Progress released videos this summer, including a nine-fold increase in harassment of clinic employees.

"We have been quite worried that [an] increase in threats would lead to a violent attack like we saw" on Friday, Vicki Saporta, president and CEO of the National Abortion Federation, which tracks attacks on clinics, told Mother Jones on Friday.

A pause here to say Rep. Kinzinger is an asshole. Sue him, too.

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R) of Illinois, a staunch abortion opponent, told CNN that the shooter could have had a “legitimate disagreement” with the organization, though he panned the man as a “person … that is to some level psychotic and crazy.”

And crocodile tears from CMP.

“The Center for Medical Progress does not support vigilante violence against abortion providers,” added David Daleiden, the founder of the organization. “There are people at Planned Parenthood who I still consider friends and my thoughts and prayers are with them at this time for no one to be injured.”

They need to be held responsible. Criminally is never going to happen. At least defund them to the greatest extent possible.

To close, I'll once again express my gratitude to Governor Cuomo for pushing through the SAFE Act.

The attack came as thick snow fell on a state that has now seen several mass violence attacks in Columbine, Aurora, and, just late last month, in Colorado Springs, where a gunman killed three people near downtown, before being shot and killed by police.

Oh yeah, fuck the guns.
