In a statement Saturday night, Lynch calls the attack not only a crime against the local community but a crime against law enforcement seeking to protect and to serve, against other innocent people, and against the rule of law as well as all Americans' right to safety and security.

The nation's top law enforcement officer says federal officials stand ready to offer any and all assistance to the district attorney and state and local law enforcement in Colorado as they move forward with their investigation.

I guess they don't want to use that word since the suspect is a white male.

A person who would do this sort of thing hates women collectively and cannot stand the thought of any woman acting on her own free will independently of an authoritarian man.

And this kind of crime is an attack on all of us: any sex, age, race, religion, income, whatever.

It's an attack against the State, which sets and administers the law. It is a constitutional crime, with the intent to destroy the constitution.

And as such, one has to wonder WHY there isn't any federal action taking place to root out the infrastructure that supports such terrorism.

the Feds? Thank you Loretta Lynch.

Think Chicago could use some neutral parties...those not involved in Wait-a-YearGate.
