Dead man walking

Time has an Associated Press article about a delusional shooter (as if there's any other kind):

The man accused of killing three people and wounding nine others at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado stunned a courtroom Wednesday by declaring he is a “warrior for the babies” and won’t go to trial.
Robert Lewis Dear, 57, made the outburst before he was formally charged with first-degree murder and other counts in a Colorado Springs courtroom. “I’m guilty. There’s no trial,” Dear also said, according to The New York Times. The paper reports the suspect yelled: “Could you add the babies that were supposed to be aborted that day? Could you add that to the list?” as the judge discussed a pretrial publicity order.
Colorado Springs police have declined to discuss a potential motive in the 27 November 2015 attack, but there had been mounting evidence to suggest Dear was deeply concerned about abortion. He rambled to authorities about “no more baby parts” after his arrest, and a law enforcement official said this week that the gunman asked at least one person in a nearby shopping center for directions to the clinic before opening fire. The official was not authorized to publicly discuss the investigation and spoke this week to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
A first-degree murder conviction can lead to life in prison or the death penalty.
Dear has lived in remote locations without electricity or water, and was known to hold survivalist ideas. One of his three ex-wives, Barbara Mescher Micheau of Moncks Corner, South Carolina, said he vandalized a South Carolina abortion clinic at least twenty years earlier, announcing to her that he had put glue in the locks of its doors, then a common protest technique among activists trying to shut down abortion clinics.
Killed in the attack were Garrett Swasey, 44, a University of Colorado at Colorado Springs officer who rushed to the scene; Ke’Arre Stewart, 29, an Iraq war veteran who was accompanying someone to the clinic; and Jennifer Markovsky, 35, who also accompanied a friend to the clinic. Five other officers were shot and wounded in the rampage.
Colorado Springs Mayor John Suthers said that responding officers rescued two dozen people from inside the clinic building and helped remove three hundred people from surrounding businesses where they had been hiding while the shooting unfolded.
