Robert Lewis Dear. NOPE. Not a Syrian or a refugee. Just an American TERRORIST. [View all]
"pro-life gunman" as the media calls him instead.
President Obama's statement this morning:
Calling Friday's shooting of 12 people the last thing Americans should have to cope with on a holiday or any other day, President Obama urged a new push to get guns out of criminals' hands.
From the president's statement:
"We don't yet know what this particular gunman's so-called motive was for shooting twelve people, or for terrorizing an entire community, when he opened fire with an assault weapon and took hostages at a Planned Parenthood center in Colorado. What we do know is that he killed a cop in the line of duty, along with two of the citizens that police officer was trying to protect. We know that law enforcement saved lives, as so many of them do every day, all across America. And we know that more Americans and their families had fear forced upon them.
"This is not normal. We can't let it become normal. If we truly care about this — if we're going to offer up our thoughts and prayers again, for God knows how many times, with a truly clean conscience — then we have to do something about the easy accessibility of weapons of war on our streets to people who have no business wielding them. Period. Enough is enough.
"May God bless Officer Garrett Swasey and the Americans he tried to save — and may He grant the rest of us the courage to do the same thing."
