IU Student Steals, Vandalizes (Pro Life) Signs as University Officials Look On
Created Equal ^ | October 10, 2018 | Mark Harrington

Posted on 10/10/2018 1:02:36 PM PDT by Morgana

In the first week of Created Equal’s Road Trip for Life tour to more than 40 schools, our team has already faced increased violence toward property and persons. The most shocking from Week One of the trip came at Indiana University (IU, Bloomington), where a student first stole our signs before returning to vandalize and destroy others showing pictures of aborted babies. Perhaps more disturbing than the student’s actions was the failure of IU administration officials on site to intervene. Watch the shocking footage!

IU had assigned officials to the site of Created Equal’s outreach. They were present when the student first stole our signs, placing them into his car. Before the student could drive off, however, Samuel Riley, Created Equal’s Field Captain, removed the signs from the student’s car, leaving the door open. The first IU official in the video says, “I’ll close it for you,” and shuts the door, enabling the perpetrator to speed away.

But he soon returns with spray paint. He then walks from sign to sign, spray painting and breaking signs, violently throwing bungee cords and metal rods from our equipment. Samuel and his team remove signs from his reach and attempt to stand in front of them, while another IU administration official, speaking to the vandal, says, “Sir, I’d like to encourage you to stop.” She makes no actual attempts to stop him. Samuel had to call police and chase the perpetrator himself because of the administration’s failure to intervene.

Before taking off on his bike, the student confirms the pro-abortion motivation for his actions. Speaking to Sam, he says, “You want women to be child-rearing surrogates that don’t have any rights. And I f***ing hate you.”

But the video doesn’t end with the student speeding away on his bike. Watch all the way through to see this vandal humbled by the law.

The identity of the student and charges he faces will be forthcoming. We are waiting for law enforcement to release the official police report. Stay tuned for updates. Take Action!

* Contact IU President Michael McRobbie (812-855-4613, iupres@iu.edu). Insist the administration apologize for failing to intervene and defend the rights of peaceful pro-life demonstrators. * Spread the word that pro-abortion violence is on the rise! Share this video on Facebook, Twitter, and more!

Judges should enforce fines at least commensurate with the property damage involved, trebled. The proceeds should be split between the individual student whose property was vandalized and an appropriate organization -- say, the national Right to Life group. IOW, make the vandals directly pay the organization they hate enough to criminally assault.

If a judge wanted to be a little creative, he might also require the student to wear a sandwich board around campus for a week, saying "I'm a fascist who destroys other people's property to make my political point."

He was spot-on: Be nice until it’s time to not be nice.

Excellent video evidence, but he should never have been doing that protest alone.

Judges cannot enact fines in excess of statute.

Civil litigation can assess punitive damages. I hope he sues.

And you would be in jail, awaiting trial on felony assault, expelled from the school, your possessions and computers seized and your vehicle impounded and running up hundreds of dollars in fees per day.

This isn’t 1972 any more.

“This isn’t 1972 any more.”

Right you are, and that is exactly the problem. I may be an old man but in my day those creeps would not even have dared to behave in that manner. They would have been well aware that they would have had the s**t kicked out of them.

He wasn't alone, but the others weren't much help. The article mentions "Samuel and his team remove signs from his reach and attempt to stand in front of them..."

I read that, but in the video he’s solo. Maybe the others were intimidated by the asshats.

Important lesson: Have someone have your back.

The story could very well have been about a different outcome.

And that would just be the first day. On the second day, you would receive notice that you were being civilly sued by the person you beat up for millions of dollars.

This kind of thing will continue until the Right starts fighting back with the more pain-inducing tools of the left or variants thereof. Specifically, do not throw the first punch unless you are attacked or in fear of your life, record everything while asking the miscreants to stop, basically just sit there and suck up the abuse. Look like you are being victimized, make sure the cameras/recorders catch all of it and there’s nothing that could be used against you on the recordings.

Then sue everyone involved on the other side in both their professional and personal capacities for millions and millions of dollars. Bury them in lawsuits over each incident - criminal negligence, conspiracy to deprive of civil rights, failure in duty of care, racial bias, hit them with the whole spectrum. Spam the recordings over all media you can get access to. Watch how fast this ends when Leftists in both their personal and institutional capacities stand to lose everything themselves and that they can’t just inflict that on others with impunity. When they realize their favorite tactics just made them a money piñata (how they view the RIght already), they will stop.

These photos are horrific. They show pre-born human babies torn apart and bloody. Some people say they shouldn’t be shown publicly, since they’re so horrible and traumatizing. Some say they’re ineffective.

The truth is that, yes, they are horrifying. And they are effective. One of my friends was pro-choice prior to seeing one of those signs some 15 years ago. Upon seeing the image, it was only a matter of time before he found himself pro-life.

That’s what the university official said, not the pro life protestor. Treating the vandal with kid gloves.
