‘You’re lucky I didn’t have my pistol’: Video shows pro-lifers violently attacked outside clinic
http://www.lifesitenews.com ^ | december 20, 2013 | ben johnson

A shocking new video shows a muscular young man punching a pro-life protester in the face before chasing, pushing, and threatening to shoot a group of pro-life activists standing outside an Oklahoma abortion facility on Tuesday.

Toby Harmon says he and his friend, Jeremy Brown, approached a young couple just leaving Dr. Larry Burns'Abortion Surgery Center in Norman, Oklahoma, and asked if they could help. “She replied something like, 'You can't help us. There's nothing you can do to help us,'” Harmon says.

Then, the says, he young man removed his jacket and came toward them in a menacing fashion.

The second video shows a a young, bearded man shove Brown before punching him in the face.

“There's forgiveness in Christ,” Brown replied, literally turning the other cheek.

Video footage shows the young man follow the 36-year-old Harmon at this point, repeatedly grabbing his video camera, as well as spitting on their signs. As the camera is blocked during a struggle, Harmon comments that a noise in the video is the sound of the man spitting on him, as well.

Harmon says the man threw his first chest-mounted camera to the ground and destroyed it, and the original video file of the incident was corrupted beyond repair. His goal, Harmon said, was to destroy the evidence of the altercation. However, Harmon had a second video camera, which he used to capture the video posted to YouTube.

As Harmon struggled with the man, Brown called the police. The Norman Police Department's call log shows the alleged “assault and battery,” as well as “assault and vandalism” took place at 9:13 a.m.

“Right now, he is following us, and we are literally fleeing from him,” Jeremy tells an operator, saying the man ha followed them 50 yards away from the center at that point.

The left has gone totally insane

There are many, many of them, including a good portion of elected Democrats, who would line people like us up in front of a firing squad if they only held enough power.

And they go about gaining more power each and every day.

Based on the way he just went loco, I would bet that this is not his first violent encounter, and he probably has a record. If that includes a felony, and he talks about his pistol, he might be in line for more that an assault charge. Whether he does or not, it is pretty obvious that he is one of those who really, really should not be allowed near a gun.

Then Jesus’ admonition to ‘buy a sword’ may well be in vogue? Revelation talks about a time when if a person kills some one then that person will also be killed...Others may know if it refers to a offence defence type of scenario. One may not simply kill but is allowed to defend one self...?

Any comments anyone?

******

I see no Biblical rule that self-defense is automatically wrong (sorry, pacifists.) Also, if it’s un-Christian to defend oneself, then it’s also un-Christian to call the police to do indirectly what we are supposedly not allowed to do directly.

“If I ever go to on of these clinics,I’ll take one of my German Shepherds or the Rottweiler with me.The dogs have an amazing calming effect on punks like these.”


Yeah, and a can of pepper spray, or better yet an HK (hey, that rhymes) has an amazing calming effect on even the rowdiest pooch. See, folks, this is why people should mind their own business. Saves people from all sorts of grief.

If they’re getting that close I’d like to use something less lethal , a taser ,, when he’s rolling on the ground after soiling himself you restrain him with extra large cable ties and secure the video for when the police arrive.

We should have musclebound guys who are pro-life accompany these folks standing on the line.

Let’s see who wants to get tough then.

A Missionary might get injured for preaching the gospel and he doesn’t fight back as a testimony...I can understand that. Does he let his child be mishandled as a way of ‘turning the other cheek’? Which is why most MK’s aren’t with the parents in really dangerous areas. You’d defend your little ones even to the death. If I saw a old widow being knocked down at an abortion rally, I would interpose and defend her. if they punched me, I might not respond in kind...at first. Yet one has so many cheeks....!

On a real random note...If Christians want to try and stay in San Francisco and other liberal cities in California and evangelize it...fine..but they should send their kids away. None of this “we must send our Christian kids to help evangelize schools and playgrounds crap” California has passed laws that sexualize kids via the school systems and thus they have tied a mill stone around their necks. It has become too dangerous a state for Christian families. The whole nation is going that way but California is hitting its nadir point much faster!

I agree, re children. I have seen people say they want their children in government indoctrination centers to be “salt & light” , but that’s ridiculous IMO not to mention I wonder how often it’s just a cop-out. Their children won’t be allowed to be “salt and light” even if they had the adult maturity and strength to stand against teachers and peer pressure, they’re more likely to come home opposing everything their parents were in the process of teaching them. Christian adults these days aren’t exactly standing firm in the lion’s den-too many think it’s a real sacrifice to stop patronising restaurants which support what we oppose, or even give up a teevee show.

If you listen to your ‘enemy’ they’ll tell you all about their plans. The left NEVER had a problem w/ guns or using them on who they choose. Their problem w/ guns is that you can have them. If they’re ever allowed to outlaw gun ownership for the general populace genocide won’t be far behind. They’ll have no problem using deadly force on whoever they deem unworthy to live. The evidence is here for anyone willing to listen...and it CAN happen here.
