If there's a large scale terror attack, we jump to the conclusion that it was pulled off by militant Muslims.
If there's a mass shooting in America, we jump to the conclusion that it's some whacked out white guy off his meds.
So, why, oh why, should it be any different to conclude that a guy went into a Planned Parenthood, armed, and intended to terrorize those inside that building? Instead some would bend over backwards to proclaim that he "obviously" meant to rob a bank that wasn't even close to the PP and this could in NO WAY be a terror attack by a white, Christian male intent on terrorizing women (and some men) who use the services of Planned Parenthood?
Yes, it's always prudent to wait for facts but come on... don't treat this any differently because it's a loaded political topic (which shouldn't be) and conveniently forgetting that plenty of "Christians" have been calling for violence against Planned Parenthood since forever and some have in the past carried out those attacks.
Do we now have to build bomb walls around PP's nationwide? Maybe do like they did in the UK at the height of the IRA and sub-divide the buildings so you don't take the whole place out with one hit? Maybe an underground tunnel that is connected to a safe room for safe escape while we continue to ignore the situation in this nation and let these "lone wolves" have the keys to our personal security.
