re: Officer Killed In PP Shooting Was A Pro-Life Pastor

i don't think he was doing this because he was against planned parenthood.. it would be hypocritical any ways.. he's probably just "crazy"

Possible. We'll figure all that out. Several aspects of the incident are in line with typical anti-abortion terrorism. The choice of weapon, the fact that he survived the attack, and the bags he left in the area all point to a political motive.

But there are other things that don't fit. I don't remember any other cases where someone who was anti-PP shot up the entire neighborhood, and PP itself isn't sure they were the intended target (which means he didn't call them baby killers when he was in there or anything like that).

Could be that the initial shooting was a diversion. Or he was a random crazy and thought including PP in the attack would raise his profile. Or maybe once the incident started, he saw PP and thought they'd be a convenient distraction or an ideal place to try to take hostages.
