I can't get the the links over here, but this quote was reported on Twitter from the NYT allegedly. - "He was a gentle man who occasionally abused the women he knew".???
Anyway, back to normality (sort of) have any GOP candidates said anything about it yet? Twitter was full of people supporting the shooter.

A company on the other side of the river from home , StemExpress https://www.google.com/search?num=100&newwindow=1&client=opera&q="stemExp who was allegedly buying FBP, has cut all ties with Planned Parenthood after bad press and local picketing. They were mentioned in the undercover exposés. Coincidence ?
They are evidently in litigation according to one source http://www.lifenews.com/2015/08/14/s...borted-babies/re: "GOP candidates said anything about it yet?" - Yeah. I believe Trump/Carson/Bush have repudiated the senseless act while maintaining their stances on Planned Parenthood.“StemExpress, a for-profit company partnered with over 30 abortion clinics, including Planned Parenthood, to harvest and sell aborted baby parts and provide a “financial benefit” to Planned Parenthood clinics, is attempting to use meritless litigation to cover-up this illegal baby parts trade, suppress free speech, and silence the citizen press reporting on issues of burning concern to the American public,” CMP said in a statement.

"Baby parts", that's the same emotive phrase the shooter used, is that where he got it from I wonder?. Others call it Foetal tissue, it only goes to show what's in a name.

Litigation is prolly public record. Perhaps I'll accept your challenge and become pro-active; follow the money, etc. to whatever end. We have a saying in my neck of the woods though: "Where there's smoke there's probably fire". Nixon: "I'm not a crook"... Clinton: "I did not have sex with that girl." Just need to have the will to dig deeper.Firstly, the fact a company cuts ties with an organization doesn't prove the organization participated in a specific activity.
I chose my source from the google search near the top of results; perhaps I can find a result that shares no bias (yeah, that'll work). I welcome any help in this endeavor.
btb - I do so love green skies.
Addendum: re: "a legitimate news source": This made me laugh.

... A bit over-the-top here. Your focus is too narrow and lends itself to declaring an extremist agenda in and of its own, in my humble estimation.What is clear with this shooting--and murders an bombing of abortion clinics--is we have a serious domestic terrorist problem with anti-abortion extremists.
Mental health policies, homelessness, under-privileged/disadvantaged/disaffected peoples, degradation of the family, treating life as if it doesn't matter, elitism, bullying, ... ad infinitum/ad nauseum - contribute to those who incline to atrocities. Sane people don't kill people (personal/familial defense perhaps excepted in extreme cases).
My agenda: Peace, love, and respect for all life.

A bad one in california this morning.
In most countries, if you disagree with something, or have an argument at work, you can't go home pick up your assult rifle and start shooting people. You just have to get over it.

Neither terrorism nor disgruntled employee rampage ruled out yet. CNN coverage hitting all angles non-stop. Adding home-made bombs and tactical gear to the mix skew my thoughts to terrorism; though CNN likened this combination to Columbine-like retribution. Maybe it's both ? Insanity none the less.

Since I started this thread I've read thousands of words from hundreds of pundits on the issue of gun control and mass killings. The most thoughtful and intelligent articles come out of America (for and against).
This is probably the best one I have read.

Shootings will continue unabated in this country for the forseeable future. This is unfortunate.
I have resigned my self to the inevitable rise of American-style fascism, which promotes a popular culture of violence and death, along with denegration of women (and women's rights), LBGT people (and LBGT rights), minorities (and the rights of minorities), immigrants (and the rights of immigrants), and political dissidents (and the right to challenge the status quo). Read the comments sections on the Washington Post or on almost any popular news organization's facebook pages and you will see that violent vitriol is extremely common and seems to be generally accepted. The 'Cult of Political Incorrectness' bolts into action whenever the common pedagogy is challenged or even the suggestion of reform is hinted at. If you even mention the possibilty of common sense gun control measures, or any sort of reform which aims to prevent violence from occuring in the first, you are shot down with a variety of scripted and thus oft-repeated responses.
The second amendment will remain and the violence will continue.....

Good link, Mick. I especially liked the part where he agreed with my earlier theory that - guns are for cowards.
That said, considering all the blood being spilt over here, and being a cowardly man myself, I may have to start packing heat, just so's I can return fire if need be.
Joking of course. I've become totally convinced that the human species is, by its very nature, way too emotionally driven to be trusted with firearms. (I'm thinking we're probably not well equipped to drive a car either.)
Uhhhh...

Given Texas' reintroduction of open carry, there's no doubt on that one.
Go to work, get married, have some kids, pay your taxes, pay your bills, watch your tv, follow fashion, act normal, obey the law and repeat after me: "I am free."

And yet firearms will always be in the hands of people, whether they're the police, the national army or criminals who will acquire them. Why are these types of people the only ones fit to carry firearms? Have governments demonstrated proper use of military force in the recent past? Have the police demonstrated that they are most of the time overwhelmingly more able to use firearms responsibly than the general public?
The second amendment exists to prevent government tyranny.

What a joke.
