The free-speech rights of a University of Wisconsin pro-life club were violated recently, and the incident has been posted on the popular video-sharing website YouTube.
Pointers for Life, a University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point pro-life club, recently obtained permission from the school to place 4,000 white crosses on campus grounds. The display was meant to symbolize the 4,000 unborn babies who are aborted every day in the United States.
However, the display was vandalized on May 1 by Roderick King, a university sophomore and student senator. While King was knocking over the white crosses, he stated that the pro-life group had no right to challenge abortion because it was made legal in 1973 following the Roe v. Wade decision by the U.S. Supreme Court -- and the display, he said, was unfair to students who had obtained abortions. The incident was captured on video and posted to YouTube.

Why can't we just get along?
If you watch the video - King is a lisping pansy who obviously has his own issues. Bet he hates his father!
Roderick King = abortion survivor.
I guess Rod never heard of Dred Scott v. Sandford.
What a Mo!
And the crosses would be more representative if most of them were black to proportionally represent aborted black babies. King attacked that which would protect his own: neoliberal cognitive dissonance on display.
WOW, that’s a stunner.
Nice to see that the Campus Police was willing to do something more than stand idly by while the resident Lefties had a tantrum, trampling free speech rights (as happens far too often when it comes to conservative campus newspapers being stolen and dumped en masse).
old rod king should have been arrested for destroying the crosses, and given the criminal record he so richly deserves.
adn the club ought to have insisted.

He would’ve supported an effort to put up 4,000+ cross for the “Iraq war dead” list (even though they did not all die in combat or even in Iraq).
Shouldn’t he be chraged with a hate crime for destroying thousands of crosses that didn’t belong to him?
And when you pistol whip somebody like that, everybody calls YOU intolerant. Kind of cuts down the options for dealing with that sort of thing.
How can it be a hate crime since it was perpetrated against christians who, while not a minority so they can not be allowed any minority protections, are also not the majority, because America is NOT a Christian nation, don’t you know....
Christians, the only group it is legal to hate in America. Well, them and white males.
Excellent point. He'd have planted them himself.
