Cruz Condemns Planned Parenthood Shooting

LAMONI, Iowa — U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz on Saturday night condemned the fatal shooting of three people at a Planned Parenthood location in Colorado while urging caution regarding the suspect’s motives.

“We don’t know ... what those motives were, but whatever they were, it’s unacceptable, and it’s horrific and wrong,” the Republican presidential hopeful told reporters here before a town hall.

Cruz is among the first — if not the first — GOP candidate to denounce the shooting, which happened Friday in Colorado Springs and left a police officer and two civilians dead. A suspect, Robert Dear, has been taken into custody.

"I have spent much of my adult life working in law enforcement, working against murderers and those who commit violent crime, and that one officer lost his life is particularly tragic," Cruz said.

(That's to Cruz, not to you, TT.)

"We don't know . . . what those motives were." Yes we do, asshole! It's people like you inciting the weak-minded and then indiscriminately handing them gunz so they can stand their ground.

However, it is best to clarify the comment and who it was the target. Unfortunately, one of my friends in the Texas Group received a hide from a jury because the jury saw the pronoun "you" and thought that an insult was aimed in my direction. Juries do not know whether the relationships between members hold any animosity and they did not catch on to the ambiguity being directed towards a GOP politician instead.

That is the second time in about two weeks that I've made that mistake. The brain has shifted into a lower gear (or in this case "reverse&quot . Too much catnip in my youth...and thirties...and forties.
