robert dear, the Planned Parenthood Black Friday murderer, has died.

(I don't have the link, a friend who knew some of the staff told me.)

3 dead, 9 wounded. None of the victims ever received justice, as he never stood trial, due to mental incompetence.

One less waste of oxygen and resources.

I keep thinking of things to say about his death, but I think they go beyond bad taste to potentially offensive. At times, I struggle with such dark thoughts. But since reading the OP, I am making myself laugh.

friends and I are saying tonight. Although none of us were at PP that day, one friend knew the staff, I knew some of the employees at the King Soopers where people were sheltering, and others knew some of the responders. It was a frightening, very long day (6 hour standoff), and a very long weekend as information keept being updated.

worse, especially with those tanks. That PP is in a very busy business park area that includes banks, small stores, a King Soopers, and is across the very busy street from a large residential complex.

if he was truly "mentally incompetent" than the true guilt remains with the pro-birth cult and its leaders who made this guy think his actions were justified.

Not that I'm shedding any tears that this drain on tax dollars is ended, just thinking that the root evil is still, unfortunately, very much alive.

“I've never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure.”

“Mental incompetence” my ass. Dude knew exactly what he was doing.

And it proved that terrorism in the name of “Pro-Life” has, to date, never been correctly prosecuted and punished. (Of course, for that to happen, women would have had to have been fully regarded to be full human beings, rather than as utilitarian gestational vessels, bangmaids, and punching bags.) Instead, that terrorism is now approved and encoded by Roger Severino and Russell Voight into national policy.

And that disgusting piece of shit Daleiden, who ginned up this specific act of terrorism, STILL walks the earth as a free man, albeit a convicted felon. And with another convicted felon with a deep hatred for women as fully realized individuals at the helm of the ship of state, it seems that the sentencing, scheduled for some time in early 2026, will result in a pat on the ass and a cushy WH job.
