Harlan Drake, the 33-year old man arrested in connection with the murder of the Christian pro-life activist James Jim Pouillon as well as business owner Mike Fuoss told detectives that he targeted Pouillon because he was offended by his pro-life message. Drake also revealed that he planned to target a third man, but was arrested before he could carry out his plan.
This morning around 7:20 a.m., Drake drove to Owosso High School where he shot and killed Pouillon as he held a poster of a baby with the word, Life, written across the front.
A press release from Citizens for a Pro-Life Society spoke about the dedication Pouillon had to protecting the unborn. The victim, dependent on an oxygen tank and who wore leg braces, was a committed pro-life activist who for many years stood outside of Flint area abortion clinics and Planned Parenthood offices in the hope of turning women away from their abortion decision.

Nineteen stories on this and 640 about Killer Tiller ....
Yaaaaaa, human baby with the word “Life” above it. That’s offensive.
I wonder if he was offended because he didn’t like the cereal. I mean it’s practically the cover of a box of Life Cereal. Little kid with a bowl of cereal with “Life” over his head.
Just shoot the guy. Just execute the bastard. I am tired of being polite. Send him to God for the administration of the final sentence.
What is offensive about the Pro-Life message? It’s offensive only if you have a tarnished soul. Either that or you’re a Margaret Hoover type person who doesn’t want to be told that abortion is wrong. Hey Margaret, there are serial killers in prison who hate being told they are wrong, so grow up.
Obama should pardon him to begin the reconciliation.
Yes, where are the hate crime stories?
This guy’s action offends me — do I get a free shot?
I didn't think so. I wouldn't call the omission of a corresponding statement to be tacit approval, but I'll bet it seems to be in the minds of the sorts of characters who only need that and an active imagination to do something destructive.
It’s offensive, because the message might take millions fo dollars out the mouths of the industry.
Sorry, Michigan doesn’t have the Death Penalty. We’ll be paying to keep him in prison, unless Gov. Jenny lets him out.
I’ve heard about the killing but not the race. Was the killer Black?
Ah, so he did. That’s very interesting.
Nope. Looks like a typical DUer.
Wonder where the hate crime idea came from ... someone shoots someone over an opinion becomes hate crime these days I guess ....
So if vague threats of violence by unspecified pro-lifers and perjured testimony was enough to bring a RICO suit against Joe Scheidler, isn’t this enough to bring a RICO suit against Planned Deadbabyhood?
Crickets from the MSM.
James Lawrence Pouillon, Martyr for the Unborn, pray for us!

He did it today. There is a link on the news forum about it.
