Minn. Lawmaker Stopped with Gun by Abortion Clinic
According to the Minnesota Star Tribune, this dumbass has now had his leadership post taken away by the state GOP.
Via Pat Kessler, WCCO-TV:
ST. PAUL (WCCO) — A Minnesota lawmaker is trying to explain why he showed up at a Planned Parenthood with a loaded gun. He says he just happened to pick that parking lot.
Surveillance cameras at the Planned Parenthood in St. Paul spotted Representative Tom Hackbarth of Cedar, Minn., parking his pickup and getting out with a .38 Smith and Wesson on his right hip.
Hackbarth, who is a new chairman of the House Environment and Natural Resources Committee, told WCCO-TV by telephone he had “no clue” he’d parked next to a security-conscious abortion facility.
Hackbarth has been suspended from any current and pending leadership roles within the House GOP Caucus, according to a released statement from the Minnesota House of Representatives.
The statement goes on to say his suspension will remain in effect until the issue is fully resolved.
The Republican representative said a romance that started online put him in the wrong place.“I have a permit to carry legally. I carry my gun all the time. I have never had an incident and everything is perfectly legal and above board,” said Hackbarth.
Cameras caught him walking away down a dark alley.
“We have to air our dirty laundry? My wife and I are going through a divorce we are separated. We’ve been separated for about a year and a half now,” said Hackbarth.
Hackbarth was apparently on the hunt for his girlfriend whom he’d recently met online.
“She gave me some line of baloney, and I thought, ‘well, she’s fibbing to me.’ You could tell, and I thought, ‘well, I’m going to check it out.’ and I went there to see if she was around and her vehicle was not there. And I was just checking on her,” he said.
The police report says he may have been jealous about another man, which is something Hackbarth denies.
Police say Hackbarth exhibited the behavior of a stalker: angry, looking for a woman, with a fully loaded gun.
They stopped his truck, handcuffed him and took his weapon that night, but he was never charged with a crime. He picked up his gun Tuesday.
....NOT.
This guy was up to something and it had nothing to do with an online romance or because he has a 2nd Amendment right to bear arms.
He planned on doing a lil shoot 'em up and hide behind his elected position as an excuse.
The stupid is burning at toxic levels....

He's an advocate for fishing and hunting rights. He didn't know about the clinic. He was just hunting for his girlfriend. With a gun.

I mean, you could read it: Abortion Clinic gun stops Minnesota Lawmaker.
Or you could read it: Clinic which performs abortions with guns is visited by Minnesota lawmaker.
"Folks, this is not your father's Republican Party."

an armed abortion clinic accosted a Minnesota lawmaker doesn't it?

I've never understood these people whole feel the need to walk around with a loaded gun strapped to them "at all times". What sort of psyche must someone like that have? Are they just afraid of the general public? Is it some kind of power trip they get from it? A god complex? Are they trying to intimidate every person they interact with? What kind of wacko feels the need to be armed 24-7?
because he is snoring, he has learned to roll to the left.

(SORRY) who go on dates in huge RAM pickup trucks with huge tires, own one or two pitbulls, with a bumper sticker about keeping his freedom and his money and others keeping their change on the back bumper

When did Minnesota join the confederacy or is this another case of the attack of the body snatchers? Really, haven't those with a shread of sanity left seen enough to convince them that what passes for the republican party these days is a subversive, criminal, and quite possibly, a terroristic organization which should be investigated? We can't keep letting these criminals walk on the pretense of "looking forward" because they're mugging us from behind every step we take!
Heh heh
looking for his can of Crisco! So what if he's from...KY!
No - Of course I wasn't terrorizing Planned Parenthood. I was just stalking a girl I met online with a loaded weapon. No big deal!

It seem like it's a good thing he didn't catch up with his Internet date/mistress? I suppose the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport wasn't his cup of tea... ;)

No, no, I wasn't going to attack Planned Parenthood. I was just stalking a woman I met online who apparently has no interest in me. With a gun strapped to my side. Because I always carry a gun.
Dude - maybe she figured out just what the gun is compensating for?
He was probably looking for the guy that sold him that toupee.
Even in MN we have these crackers. We've got um. A real issue. These crazies think they're above the law and they keep getting elected. They run during off years and the turnout is low enough to get them in the seat. I've got one in my district that wants no new taxes. Lower taxes. Is clearly anti abortion. All for big business. Unethical as city council. Verbally abusive. Attacks opponents. Really scary.

MN has concealed carry gun laws, so as sure as eggs are eggs this GOP moron would have made the news one way or another, if he had been properly concealed we prob would be reading about his gun waving exploits or worse. I guess he got carried away with TV footage of open carry types.
ordinary people actually walk around 'all the time' with a gun?!!
Cripes, I don't even know anyone who owns a gun...or ever 'needed' one!!
This particular guy...(until we know more facts) seems to have been looking to intimidate said 'girlfriend'...or perhaps worse....but who knows. Very suspicious though.
Anyone else think his excusemight be that a voice resembling Michelle Bachmann told him to do it?
Just the fact that he walks around with a gun strapped on all the time shows he's a consteetushunal skoller, what's the matter with y'all are ya ignant? Sure you'll probably say he has issues, right, everybody is a sykyeetrizt now. Yer all so stupid yew don't know real intelleegentz when you see it. Yer so stupid.
all this thinkin mayks my teabag hurt.
What's this guy need to carry a gun all the time. What a punk. Mean streets of Minnesota did he think he was getting attack by a wild cow? Online Romance, whose picture did he show Spencer Pratt's? These Republicans are no-D**Ks that they need to carry weapons. Jeez what Punks. I've lived in North Jersey all my life walked the streets of Newark, and Jersey City and never [well ok maybe once or twice] felt the need to carry a piece. This dork lives in Cornville what's he afraid of.

Like most of them... God. ;-/
PS. Loved the "well ok maybe once or twice" notation ;P

No surprise, a White Christian takes a hidden pistol to a place that is a target for terrorism by Christian terrorists and the police shake his hand and give him his pistol back.
Yes, and if he was not armed, do you think the laundry would get out of the basket in a dark alley and hang itself out to dry all by itself?

Are you insinuating that he had an accomplice? You're such a talented wordsmith, I often find myself unsure of the claim(s) you imply.
It sounds almost as if your describing the Harvey Milk incident?

Good fucking grief. A right wing Traditional Christanic Family Values right wing domestic terrorist loon on the hunt with a gun and the fucking cops gave the terrorist his fucking gun back?!
Fucking liberal judges!
Well, I suppose he won't kill her any time soon now that he's gotten a little exposure.
If'n yer internet gurlfrend is fibbin you shood be packin. Thats the rulz.
"Cameras caught him walking away down a dark alley." I guess the men's bathroom stalls at Minneapolis airport were full up ?
Insanity , it is what it is , there is no understanding it .
I wonder if he was having relation(s) with this internet girl-friend/mistress during the 2008 RNC at the Xcel Energy Center in Saint Paul? (What would "Saint Paul" do?**)
Maybe it depends on what the definition of was...was? ;)
St. Paul why oh why have you forsaken us... on second thought
**Paul's belief that "it is good for a man not to touch a woman" (I Corinthians 7:1) led to the doctrine of celibacy and other warped teachings on sexuality. Nineteenth-century feminist author Matilda Joslyn Gage pointed out that this teaching directly led to such woman-hating abuses as the witch-hunts. Ironic :-O

On line drama laden romance gone bad.
Driving around to possibly more than one clinic looking for?
Has a gun.
I think the woman is pregnant and threatened to have an abortion. He is there to either stop her or force her. One can never tell which with these jerks.
So if he caught his online girlfriend with another man was he going to resort to the '2nd amendment remedy' to deal with the situation?

This pathetic guy isn't even divorced yet (they are "separated") and he's out chasing other women.
He and his Republican scum buddies can take their Family Values crap and shove it.
Lock and load... Ah'm gonna fetch me a wife.
I have been telling you this for several years now,
republicanism/conservatism is a mental illness! These people have gone over the edge!
There is noo hope for them anymore. The constant fear mongering of the GOP and Fox have put these fragile, dimwitted fools over the edge.
We need to remove the republicans from the pollitical process!
