Minn. Pol With Gun Outside Abortion Clinic Says He Was Just In Area 'Checking On' His Girlfriend

[Seedersandleechers]

A security guard at a St. Paul Planned Parenthood clinic called the cops last week after he spotted a Republican state lawmaker with a loaded gun in the parking lot. But the pol says he was only "checking on" his online girlfriend, who he thought may be on a date with another man -- a claim police have not been able to corroborate because the man did not have a phone number or address for the woman.

According to the police report, a security guard reported the man, Rep. Tom Hackbarth, after he saw him get out of a pickup truck in the parking lot with a loaded gun in a hip holster. The guard saw him walk into an alley near the clinic.

When police came, they handcuffed him and took his gun, which he has a concealed carry permit for. Hackbarth claimed he didn't realize he was in the Planned Parenthood parking lot, according to the police report. He said he was in the neighborhood looking for his girlfriend, a woman he said he had met online a few months before and had been on a couple dates with.

Police have not been able to track down the mystery woman. Hackbarth said he didn't have her phone number or address, as he only communicated with her via an online dating site. He also told police he didn't remember the name of the site.

1. Well maybe when they commit him the good citizens will be able to get a

Dem into that spot.

This is just bizarr-o.

2. Gee. A repuke with a loaded gun, stalking a woman and lying about it.

Why am I not surprised about this? Seems like your average, run-of-the-mill repuke.

3. "No charges? Fully resolved?" Something is totally not right here.

4. please don't use the term 'abortion clinic'-it's fake

Planned Parenthood, women's health clinic..............but not that term. "Strong Medicine" a Liftime channel series was centered on just such a place. Mammograms, cancer screenings, meds for std/sti, flu shots-all at these places they demonize absolutely by calling them 'abortion clinics'
