(36,063 posts)and think about things like facial hair...
It's pretty clear that he recently trimmed his beard away from his mouth, as is hair in front of his ears where the beard meets the hair of his scalp.
The hair on his head isn't especially long, and suggests he's been to a barber in the past month.
If attempts are going to be made to use appearance as an indication of a problem, perhaps as in the way the old Axis 5 levels of social-psychological impairment did, this guy's grooming doesn't really suggest a long standing problem with capacity to fulfill functions of daily living as they relate to hair.

(7,290 posts)Even lies that cause sick individuals to take violent actions.
Incitement to violence is a very specific charge, and right-wing talking heads spewing lies doesn't fit the bill.

(7,290 posts)It applies to everyone. Additionally, I suggest you educate yourself on the pamphlets that passed for newspapers in colonial times. The founders knew exactly what they were doing.

(9,133 posts)If that's James O'Keefe, you've got the wrong one. The guy directly responsible for those lying PP videos was David Daleiden.
I'm saying this for accuracy; I've no love for Jimmy-boy. I'd love to see accurate and usable evidence to take down Daleiden AND O'Keefe AND Lila Rose in state and federal courts.

(567 posts)He's being held on suspicion of killing three and wounding nine at the clinic busy with visitors on a snowy day the day after Thanksgiving. He has recently been a resident of Colorado, but also lived previously in South Carolina and North Carolina. Reporting on the first link, from Heavy, says:
According to court records, Dear has an arrest record in both North and South Carolina. He has been convicted of several traffic offenses, but has been arrested several times on more serious charges.
His convictions include seat belt violations, drivers license violations, operating a vehicle in an unsafe mechanical condition and driving a non-registered vehicle.
Dear was charged in Colleton, South Carolina, with two counts of cruelty to animals in 2002, but was found not guilty in a bench trial.
He was also charged in 2002 in Colleton with charges of peeping Tom and eavesdropping. Those charges were dismissed.
Dear reportedly told officers he acted alone. His motivation or target has not been identified, but reports say he opened fire outside the clinic and then entered the building with rifle firing.
He does not appear to be from Syria.

(8,659 posts)In the comments section under the CNN video of this story, a wingnut had written that he hoped the shooter wasn't white, as this would be a liberal's 'wet dream.' This guy is Timothy McVeigh, Cliven Bundy, Louie Gohmert, Archie Bunker and Joe Arpaio all rolled into one.
On edit, I'd have to add Wayne La Pierre and George Zimmerman. He's the Real McCoy!

(12,629 posts)At a well known right wingnut board, there was discussion that the shooter was "probably" black. When the mug shot was finally posted in that thread to prove that they were wrong, it shifted to "he could be a light-skinned black".

(269,222 posts)whether they're insane or not. You'd have to be crazy to carry out terrorist acts regardless of religion. That is what pisses me off. A relative of one of the attackers in France said her brother was a petty criminal who had been to prison. Said she has no memory of him visiting a Mosque. My problem is that we use lone wolf and crazy only for white terrorists. Apparently only white men are crazy, but everyone else is a terrorist. It's bullshit.

I don't know, I guess he doesn't look like your average Bostonian, but where the hell is someone like this actually normal looking? He looks like a complete psycho to me.
