Robert Dear Has Outbursts At Hearing

On Wednesday, Robert Dear made a series of outbursts at a hearing saying, "I am a warrior for the babies." Dear was accused of killing three people last month at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The prosecutors filed 179 felony charges against him. He had made nearly 20 interjections during the proceeding. "You'll never know what I saw in that clinic" he said. Other times, he stated, "I am guilty. There is no trial." A bailiff sitting nearby several times placed a hand on Dear's shoulder in attempt to stop the disruptions. When the lawyers read off a list of the victims in the incident, Dear blurted out, "Could you add the babies that were supposed to be aborted that day? Could you add that to the list?" The District Attorney, Dan May, said that litany of charges against Dear, including eight options of first-degree murder and 131 counts of attempted first degree murder. Nine people were wounded. May said that the decision on whether to seek the death penalty would come within two months after the arraignment.
I think that this is important because he's not the only person in the world that would attack a place like this. He thought that he had the right reasons, but the way he went about it was wrong. There are a lot of people out there that would do something like this because they are upset. Abortion is a very important topic in our world today. There are people who are very against it, also there are people who are for it. It's a huge controversy and there are a lot of crazy people out there that would act in violence to seek a common ground. By the content of this man's outbursts, it shows that he thought that his actions were okay. What he doesn't understand, is that he was killing innocent people, which is very wrong.
