Ya know, I’m sitting here wondering why they’ve not released the name of a suspect, in custody, 33 years old who has admitted to a murder, but the newspaper has seen fit to list a series of questionable charges against an old man with an oxygen tank under the headline: “Homicide victim James Pouillon had extensive background of civil violations...”

What’s that all about?


I suspect that’s all about . . .

The satanic globalist MSM full bore in the service of satan continuing to rachet up demonizing opponents . . .

Some prophetic sources have begun to assert that Christians worldwide will begin to be hunted down within 18 months.

Shooting an abortion doctor = terrorism.

What does this shooting mean?


“necessary population reduction by ridding the world of the plaguing undesirables.”

“removing those holding the earth back from reaching it’s NEW VIBRATIONAL STATE FOR THE NEW AGE.”

“Getting another useless eater off the streets.”

When Tiller was shot he was portrayed as a saint and EVERYTHING about the shooter was released the moment it became available.

Pouillon’s “crimes” are basically things like jaywalking.

INDEED.

Jaywalking and any other fool thing they could trump up against him.

I wonder how many housing violations all of the gestapo had!

I find that story by the Flint Urinal sickening. These are CIVIL INFRACTIONS. They are not felonies. They are not misdemeanors. They are traffic tickets or their equivalent. Hell many of these ended up in a dismissal.

A police state can used housing/zoning laws to go after ANYONE they want.

Nobody’s lawn is cut to exactly the right height all the time, nobody’s bushes are always trimmed, the list can go on forever.

As far as “stalking”, all that means is that he followed someone on more than one occasion and berated them.

Funny how these minor infractions are handled .. we all remembers when pols, celebrities and just John Does would sign up to get arrested for protesting apartheid and how noble that was.

Most of them sound like the kind of charge you’d push against an activist who was walking around protesting abortion....jaywalking, stalking, etc.

I can’t view that article as anything but an attempt to belittle the dead man on the part of the newspaper.

Why haven’t they released the name of the shooter? He’s not a minor...he’s 33 years old.

Before you know it we will have the anti-war crowd, peta and the environmentalists, 911 folks - you name it.

We already have them ... INSIDE the schools. They call themselves "teachers" or "guidance counselors" or some such drivel ... but many of them are flat out leftist propagandists.

Yes, I used to be a teacher. I know whereof I speak, and I know what sort of cesspool of leftism the faculty lounge can be.

It's straight out of "Rules for Radicals".

In this case, they're isolating and vilifying the "enemy" (one of the good guys). They're serving their lord and master, the Father of Lies.

It has been six hours since the pro-life person has been murdered and his assailant captured. Yet the following important facts have not been released:
The name of the murderer in custody.
The motive for the killing.
The connection, if any, between the murders of the pro-life activist and the gravel pit owner.

Does anyone have an update?

Congrats! I’m the proud father of three girls. The ultrasounds during my wife’s pregnancy only solidified my opinions on this issue. These babies are clearly alive prior to birth, merely in the early stage of life. And if there was any doubt, how on earth could anyone justify not erring on the side of caution (i.e. life) when the consequence of being wrong is so tragic.

Thank you so much! I think my impending labor is one reason why the slams against this poor man are affecting me deeply. I can't understand how anyone could call themselves pro-life and oppose this man's dedication to the cause and to the children.
