Fischer (AFA): Planned Parenthood Shooter May Have Been 'Tanked Up On Pot'

[Photographer]

On his radio program today, the American Family Association's Bryan Fischer floated his own theory as to why Robert Lewis Dear killed three people and injured nine more during a shooting at a Planned Parenthood facility in Colorado last week: Maybe he was "just tanked up on pot."

Insisting that there is no reliable evidence as to what motivated Dear to carry out the attack, Fischer suggested that perhaps the legality of marijuana in the state played a role because "we do know that since he moved to Colorado, [Dear] was a pot-smoking nutcase."

Fischer said that "we have seen one story after another" of people "getting doped up or tanked up or high on pot and going off a doing brutal things," especially after ingesting marijuana edibles. So obviously "there is no question that the kind of pot that is available in Colorado today can drive you into psychotic episodes," he stated.

"I'm going to be interested to see what he had in his system," Fischer said, "and if maybe this was a guy that was just tanked up on pot."

Etc.

Who knew? I guess I've escaped the odds

[MindPilot]

21. Boy howdy! I'm here to tell ya. Last night I got all tanked up on pot...

and brutally assaulted a bowl of Fruit Loops.

Then I watched some music videos on YouTube and went to bed.

[frylock]

23. Animal.

[villager]

8. Hopped up on goofballs, more likely

[leveymg]

28. What is this, 1955? Sounds like a line in a script from "Highway Patrol"

[dixiegrrrrl]

30. or this

[leveymg]

32. Murder! Insanity! Death! WARNING! Dope peddlers are shrewd!

Don't believe it in print? See the movie!!! (Watch out for Dorothy Short as "Mary.&quot

[dixiegrrrrl]

33. The real fun is watching the movie stoned.....

[leveymg]

35. I remember that, sort of.

[MindPilot]

37. The real fun is the colorized version on DVD.

Yeah, the smoke is purple. And if you select with commentary, it's Mike Nelson...from MST3K.

[dixiegrrrrl]

38. ohhhhh..I gotta go look for that. n/t

[MrScorpio]

9. He's kinda fuzzy on the process, ain't he?

Pot doesn't work like that

[Rex]

10. It is amazing how their talking points match up with the DEAs talking points.

Always full of shit.

[NaturalHigh]

11. Does this dumbass know how pot works?

[LanternWaste]

12. The last time I got tanked up on pot, my psychotic episode resulted in finally

The last time I got tanked up on pot, my psychotic episode resulted in finally watching The Matrix all the way through. So yeah, sometimes pot does make me do brutal, time-wasting, futile things with no real redeeming value.

So I get it, Mr. Fischer. I totally get it...

[Pathwalker]

13. Nah, he'd have robbed a Frito's or Dorito's snack truck if he was

tanked up on pot, you reefer madness nut.

[Scuba]

14. There's plenty of evidence that he was tanked up - on Jesus.

[yellowcanine]

15. Even if that explains Dear, what explains Fischer?

What is he tanked up on? He does and says stupid shit all the time.

[hifiguy]

16. How does anyone this manifestly moronic

remember to breathe?

[Initech]

17. So do all people who move to Colorado now smoke pot? Stereotype there, much, Fischer?

[yellowcanine]

18. If he had been high on pot he might have eaten the Thanksgiving turkey but probably would not have

shot anyone. Mr. Fischer, you don't know jackshit about pot.

[LiberalArkie]

26. It probably would have taken around a week to load a magazine at least.

[Tsiyu]

19. More like "Tanked up on Jeebus."

But you gotta give a tool like Fischer props for his desperate stretch to blame ANYTHING but the kind of hatred Bryan Fischer himself helps to sow.

Guilty people always try to deflect blame to the innocent.

I'll admit: I have witnessed many people "tanked up on pot." Never has one of them run off into the night violently assaulting and killing innocent people. Most of them want a sandwich and a song on the guitar.

Religious zealots, however, tanked up on Bryan Fischer's Magical Sky Daddy or some other, DO kill a lot of people.

And the evil Bryan Fischers of the world continue to spread hatred and stochastic terrorism. Every. Single. Day.

Go ahead and blame yourself, Bryan Fischer. YOU are one of the causes of violent zealotry because of YOUR bigotry and hatred.

[uppityperson]

20. hahahahahahaha k&r for wtf

[A HERETIC I AM]

22. There's never a 2X4 around when you need one

Or a Cricket bat, for that matter.

[callous taoboy]

24. And you may be hopped up on the dumbass, Bryan.

[2pooped2pop]

25. naw, he would have put it off til tmarr if he was "tanked up" on pot.

tanked up! lol, how stupid can they be? tanked up? He must be relating it to his own alcohol intake in which it is common to use the old phrase "tanked up" But it is not a phrase used with pot.

[Politicalboi]

27. He was tanked up on Jebus

The most dangerous drug in our country. This asshole Dear is more of a "terrorist" than the couple that killed 14 people. IMO it was work related. They knew who they were shooting at. Dear just shot innocent people he didn't know.

[MindPilot]

29. religion may be the opiate of the masses...

but for some it's more like crystal meth.

[SammyWinstonJack]

31. Tanked up on hatred spewed by rw hate radio and

the clown car occupants running for POTUS.

[Eleanors38]

34. "The tank is full of hundred proof, you're all tuned up and gaased" -- R. Mitchum.

[olddots]

39. the people who hate pot the most

could benifit from it the most .

[backscatter712]

40. The real truth is that he was tanked up on Jesus.

Same thing with Bryan Fischer.

[Initech]

41. Old timey Bryan Fischer.

Who says "tanked up" anymore?

[jmowreader]

42. Because this is what always happens when you smoke the Demon Weed, right?

If he'd have been tanked up on pot the dealer soaked in PCP, maybe he would have gone on a rampage...but nice Christian boys fresh off the boat from North Carolina would buy their pot at the licensed stores. Last I checked, licensed stores don't have PCP-laced weed.

What I'd like to do is get Bryan Fischer tanked up on pot then read him bedtime stories from a Bible that has all the names changed to those of 19th to 21st Century serial killers. What would he think if "Ted Bundy" went out of town for a few days, came back to find the townspeople had made a symbolic calf statue because all the animal sacrifices were threatening the community's survival, and wiped out the whole village in retaliation?

[leftyladyfrommo]

43. If he was tanked up on pot he wouldn't have made

It out the front door. He would have been rocking a way in his living room.
