Because people ought to see this....

Recently certain elements of the pro-life lobby seemed to feel vidicated for the whole George Tiller scandal because they believed they'd seen a clear example of violence on the other side. James L. Pouillon, a pro-life activist, was shot dead while protesting. His protest involved holding up blown up images of aborted fetuses outside a school while children walked by. Many members of the pro-life community referred to him as a martyr for the cause. The problem is that the murderer does not appear to be a pro-choice activist and also let's not forget the constant abuse that doctors like Dr. Tiller receive at the hands of pro-lifers.

Anyway, there's been a much more important development

After my mom finally left him and he lost his favorite punching bag the violence and abuse that was always contained within our 4 walls was unleased on the people of Owosso.
