The date was November 27, 2015 and the location was at a Plannned Parenthood clinic in Denver, Colorado. An individual named Robert Lewis Dear Jr. began opening fire in the parking lot and then inside the building. The mass shooting continued on for five hours as the "cold, stone face" Robert Dear used his semi-automatic rifle to kill as many people involved with Planned Parenthood as possible. Within the lobby a standoff ensued for nearly five hours until police crashed in with a Bear armored vehicle to rescue those trapped inside. Robert Dear, wearing a homemade ballistic vest made of silver coins and duct tape, then surrendered leaving three people dead and injuries to nine.
Robert Dear Jr. would go on to tell police he attacked the clinic because he was "upset with them performing abortions and the selling of baby parts.” As later described by Colorado Springs police Det. Jerry Schiffelbein in the police warrant, Mr. Dear "began yelling out statement about the killing of babies and no more baby parts” while being placed in the patrol car. Mr. Schiffelbein also reported listening to Dear tell everyone that “he was happy with what he had done because his actions...ensured that no more abortions would be conducted at the Planned Parenthood facility in Colorado Springs."
Here are some major notes about the case with Robert Dear Jr:
Dear was carrying four Soviet-style SKS semi-automatic rifles, and shot from inside the clinic at at propane tanks he’d set out as improvised bombs, although they didn’t explode as planned. Inside his Toyota Tacoma pickup, parked outside the clinic, police found two handguns, another rifle and a shotgun.
One victim said she was approached outside the clinic by Dear, who told her she shouldn’t have gone to the clinic that day and then shot her multiple times. She survived with wounds to her arm.
Dear stopped for directions multiple times while driving from his home to the clinic, and eventually called Planned Parenthood itself to get directions. He tore a page from the phone book with the address and a locator map. He wasn't too familiar with Google maps or Mapquest. Again, this was in 2015.
He said he admired Paul Hill, who killed an abortion provider in Florida in 1994, along with the doctor’s bodyguard. Hill, who was executed in 2003, said he believed God wanted him to fight abortions with lethal force.
Dear admitted to gluing the locks of an abortion clinic in South Carolina, where he used to live, and that he believed he’d saved lives that day by preventing any abortions from being carried out while the locks were repaired.
Dear told police he believed ex-President Barack Obama is the “Antichrist.” Past neighbors of Dear explained that he used to walk door-to-door and give handout while trying to explain how bad of a person Barack Obama is.
Dear has previously confessed in open court, and claimed he was a “warrior for the babies.”
Now although we try to explain how the worshipping of religion is so important for Dear (and society as a whole) to make him more intelligent, he still was ordered to undergo a competency exam. While the doctor’s decision remained secret, his attorney alluded to the conclusion that the judge should “commit Mr. Dear to the state mental hospital" rather than to a prison. According to the New York Times, who interviewed Dear's ex-wife, Mr. Dear was a man of religious conviction who sinned openly, craved both extreme solitude and near-constant female company, successfully wooed women but also abused them.
An individual who spoke with Mr. Dear extensively about his religious views claimed he had praised people who attacked abortion providers, saying they were doing “God’s work.” In 2009, the individual, who spoke on the condition of anonymity out of concerns for the privacy of the family, claimed Dear described the “heroes” as being the Army of God, a loosely organized group of anti-abortion extremists that claimed responsibility for a number of killings and bombings.
A past neighbor of Mr. Dear named John Hood, 62, had an interesting story which occurred in 2005. Hood said the two men did interact when Hood put his pickup up for sale. Dear paid cash for it. At one point, when Dear was visiting his neighbor’s property, he suggested that Hood put a metal roof on his house “because the government satellites can see through your roof.” John Hood didn't elaborate on how he interpreted what was suggested, but this goes to show a little more where Robert Dear is from a mental aspect. It does seem the CONSPIRACY theories got to him quite well.
