This NUT-BAR was known to authorities - or at least known to the Southern Poverty Law Center - and had a record going back at least 25 YEARS. More or less dating from the FIRST TIME he grabbed a gun and planned to take HOSTAGE a clutch of US government officials - the Governors of Federal Reserve Bank to be precise.
One is tempted to classify this as an UNFORTUNATE, but ONE-OFF incident. The problem is.... IT ISN'T.
Last week, a similarly senior citizen ambushed one of the few remaining obstetrician's willing to perform abortions for desperate women in the ENTIRE UNITED STATES.
Are we seeing a PATTERN? Embittered old men with GUNS carefully stalking their targets, without tip-offs by their LOVING FAMILY who know PRECISELY what they are CAPABLE OF, RAVING IF NOT ACTUALLY PRE-PLANNING, and with no ATTEMPTED INTERFERENCE by police or other officials?
Another way to ask the question ... WHY do we bring all too often FLIMSY TERRORISM CHARGES against visiting Islamists and let PROVEN THREATS walk the streets, armed and dangerous?
It is not as if the SPLC's website is secret .. or doesn't IDENTIFY the active THREATS.
Nor is it classified information that PLANNED PARENTHOOD offices across the country are forced to TRACK THEIR OWN POTENTIAL ASSAILANTS and ASSASSINS.
Surely in a FAIR WORLD, a JUST WORLD, REAL, LIVE, IDENTIFIED THREATS - with their own public WEBSITES that virtually ADVERTISE their intended TARGETS - would find themselves under surveillance by the local, county or state police, or (perish the thought), the FBI...?
And one more thought: what does it mean that OLD MEN are taking up arms against women's centers, against Holocaust Museums?
What is up with THAT?
