Colorado – The man accused of shooting three people to death and wounding nine others at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado last month shouted, "I'm guilty, there's no trial. I'm a warrior for the babies," during a courtroom outburst on Wednesday.
Robert Lewis Dear, 57, appeared for an El Paso County court hearing to face 179 counts of various criminal charges stemming from the bloody five-hour siege on Nov. 27, in which authorities said he opened fire with a rifle in front of the clinic, then stormed inside.

Dear shouted, "You'll never know what I saw in that clinic. Atrocities. The babies. That's what they want to seal."
Dear noted that his attorney also represented Colorado theater shooter James Holmes. He says attorney Daniel King "drugged" Holmes, and "he wants to do that to me."
King questioned whether Dear was competent to stand trial.

The man accused of killing three people at a Planned Parenthood clinic says he's guilty and that he's a "warrior for the babies."
Robert Lewis Dear made the comments Wednesday during a court hearing for prosecutors to announce charges filed against him. The 57-year-old said he was guilty and that there will be no trial.
Three people were killed in the Nov. 27 shootings — two civilians and a campus police officer who responded to the gunfire. Nine people were wounded, including five other officers.
It’s funny how politics and culture shape our minds – if you kill 100s of babies systematically, under the guise of women’s health, you’re just fine, more so, some even find it commendable – however, should you kill a hand full of people the old fashioned, suddenly it’s immorality. In my eyes, both are heinous crimes against humanity. Who knows what potential these murdered babies had, if they have been given the chance to live. Do you remember asking your parents for just one more chance to prove that you can be good – these babies never got that chance. We should condemn all murder… period…
