We do know some things about the shooter, so far:
1. He was a loner and a recluse
2. He had minor run-ins with the law, involving animal cruelty and accusations of being a "peeping tom"
3. He was registered "unaffiliated" as a voter
4. He self-identified as a woman
This, so far, has the makings of a run-of-the-mill nutcase.
There remains no evidence disclosed that he targeted (or even injured?) any of the Planned Parenthood clinic staff or patients. But should such evidence come out - or evidence that his motives were anti-abortion in nature - the right, conservatives, Christians, and the Pro-Life movement will come out unequivocally against his actions. So it doesn't bother me one way or the other. I would oppose him, regardless of his motives.
But it is obvious that the OP isn't the only one trying for a Tom Smykowski award. I don't remember Kut's reaction to some of the other incidents, so I won't call his reaction here hypocritical. But a glance at social media will show such hypocrisy, in spades.
Good info, and the more facts that come out about this the more and more it seems to be an unfortunate coincidence that it ended at the PP clinic.
But it won't matter for the left and their agenda, as both ways they "win" with this one.
1) If they can link him with even the slightest possible evidence to being a Christian Conservative, they can then make another stretch and say that it is further evidence of Christian extremism against PP, women's rights, and the progressive agenda.
2) If evidence surfaces in any way that doesn't fit #1 above, they start playing the "its too easy for <mentally ill> people to get guns" game and still push their agenda. It actually would even benefit him if he did in fact claim to be female, as they could probably convince him that his acts of violence were born out of oppression by the Conservatives / Christians never fully recognizing him for who he really self identifies to be.
