She says the alleged shooter once told her he’d put glue on the locks of the doors at the Planned Parenthood building in Charleston.

That is contrary to the observation of Enrico Fermi, who said, “It is no good to stop knowledge from going forward”. Tchen was reading a statement from President Obama said.

Friday’s assault comes in the context of overwrought Republican attacks on Planned Parenthood and attempts in Congress to deprive the organization, which provides cancer-screenings and other health services to women, of federal funding.

Also killed in the attack were two people who were accompanying friends to the clinic – Ke’Arre Stewart, 29, an Army veteran who served in Iraq and a father of two, and Jennifer Markovsky, 36, a mother of two who grew up in Hawaii in the tight-knit community of Waianae on Oahu.

Shows of unity and community-led vigils organized by Planned Parenthood and their allies are being held nationwide on Saturday in response to recent high-profile massacres as well as the broader cultural crisis that matches the unchecked proliferation of guns and the epidemic of mass shootings with the ways in which hateful rhetoric aimed at specific groups of people is infecting life in the United States.
