File this under “totally not surprising.” Via Buzzfeed News:

Zigmond Post, who told BuzzFeed News he was a neighbor of Dear’s in Hartsel, said the man once gave him anti-Obama pamphlets. Post said he once went to Dear’s home to retrieve two dogs that had gotten loose. “We were there for a minute and the guy was already handing us anti-Obama pamphlets,” he said. According to Post, Dear said “Obama was ruining the country and needed to be impeached.” Post told BuzzFeed News he last spoke with Dear on Wednesday when he saw him at the local post office. He said didn’t believe Dear was acting strangely. “I never thought he would do anything like that,” Post said of Friday’s rampage. “You never think your neighbor would do anything like that.”

Dear has been investigated multiple times on accusations ranging from animal cruelty and domestic violence to making an “unwanted advance” on a female neighbor.

UPDATE: Case closed. Terrorist.



The day after a gunman killed three people and shot nine others at a Colorado Planned Parenthood office, officials tell NBC News a motive remains unclear, but say the suspect talked about politics and abortion. Robert Lewis Dear, a North Carolina native who was living in a trailer in Colorado, made statements to police Friday at the scene of the Colorado Springs clinic and in interviews that law enforcement sources described as rantings. In one statement, made after the suspect was taken in for questioning, Dear said “no more baby parts” in reference to Planned Parenthood, according to two law enforcement sources with knowledge of the case.
