Self-Proclaimed Planned Parenthood Gunman calls shooting ‘Righteous crusade’

His attitude unapologetic.

His reasoning warped.

Self-proclaimed Planned Parenthood shooter, Robert Dear, in a phone interview with KRDO Newschannel 13’s Heather Skold, said he doesn’t feel guilt for the November 27 th , 2015 killing spree. The 57-year-old called it a “righteous crusade.”

Dear was aware of each of the slain victims, by name: Garrett Swasey, Jennifer Markovsky, and Ke’Arre Stewart.

“[They] were in a war zone. They were there where the babies were being killed. You go to a war zone. That’s what happens,” said Dear. “In a war there’s gonna be casualties. Are you gonna name the hundred million babies that were killed, that nobody talks about, nobody represents them, they have no voice, but yet our Constitution says we have the right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness?”

When asked about the children of Swasey, Markovsky, and Stewart – parents to two children, each – Dear said he would not say anything to them.

When asked if he had any guilt, Dear replied, “No! I don’t have any guilt! I am in a war!”

Asked whether he valued life, he said, “Of course! That’s why I did it! I killed three and I saved 3,000.”

Dear then spoke about his hero, Paul Hill – the man convicted and put to death after killing an abortion doctor and the doctor’s body guard in Florida. Dear said he didn’t care if he was sentenced to death row, because that was where his hero ended.

“He gave it all up to save babies. [It’s] just an inspirational story of ‘no greater love has a man than to give up his life for his friends.'”

Dear claimed to be a Christian, but when asked about the commandment to not kill, he justified his actions.

“Actually, it says, ‘Do not murder.’ I didn’t murder. I killed. If you’re killing to save lives, that’s different. I did it to save lives.”

He told of his long disdain against Planned Parenthood, dating back to the ‘80s. Abortions at a nearby clinic in South Carolina, where he then lived, motivated him to put super glue in the facility locks.

“I squirted it in their locks in the abortion center. At least I did something back then. I said, ‘Maybe I’ll save a few babies when they have to get a locksmith and they’ll have to cancel some appointment or something,'” bragged Dear.

As for November 27 th , the day of the shootings, Dear said he was motivated by love of “his woman” who was hospitalized for a boil. He was convinced the FBI was watching her and preventing her from being discharged.

“The moment when they started to get my woman, I said, ‘That’s it, there’s gonna be a war. So the question is, where is the war going to be at? Do I want them to hit me where they want to hit me, or do I want to pick the spot?’ And so I picked the spot of the abortion center because it’s the most evil spot there is. They’re killing babies and selling baby parts. And that’s where I wanted it to be.”

After that, he said he went to Lowe’s and various hotels, asking where Planned Parenthood was.

“I had to go get a phone book. I had to call them.”

And that’s where he said he brought his AK-47.

Dear spoke of being followed – for 20-some years – by “big tall guys, coming up behind me in stores. Tall as me, wanting to put me in a choke hold. But I would turn around and look at them and they’d look away. They broke into — you ever heard of ‘Sneaking Pete’? They sneak into your house and cut holes in your clothes. Do any little mischief and there’s nothing you can do about it. So what are you going to do? Call the cops and say someone broke into my house and cut holes in my clothes? That would make you just look nuts. They know exactly what they’re doing. They’re professionals.”

Quoting Luke 10:18, Dear called President Barack Obama the “antichrist.”

“Jesus said, ‘I beheld Satan as lightning.’ The word for lightning is Barack, like Barack Obama.”

Among his twisted narrative, Dear spoke of the judge presiding over his case as being “cocky,” and called the death of Justice Antonin Scalia a conspiracy.

“Listen to me. Do I sound incompetent? I’m a college graduate. I could out-debate any of them. I know who the secretary of state is: Kerry. Who’s the head of Germany: Merkel. Who’s the head of the Congress: Ryan. I’m ingenious compared to them.”

An update on Robert Dear’s mental competency has been postponed until March.

Dear vowed to plead guilty to the 179 charges against him, which include murder, attempted murder and assault.
