Anti-abortion activist killed near Mich. school
Second man also shot dead at nearby business; suspect arrested
OWOSSO, Mich. - A man who was a well-known anti-abortion activist was shot and killed near a high school Friday, officials said.
Shortly afterward, a second man was shot dead at a nearby business.
"We have two murders," Shiawassee County Sheriff George Braidwood said, according to the Argus-Press newspaper. "We believe they are related and we have a suspect in custody."
A 33-year-old Owosso man who police said implicated himself in the second murder was taken into custody at his home shortly after the shootings.
The shooting across from the high school took place around 7:20 a.m. No students were injured.
Police identified the victim as Jim Pouillon, a longtime member of the anti-abortion group Operation Rescue. Pouillon was often seen carrying signs with anti-abortion slogans.
The Argus-Press reported that Gary Shepherd, who lives near the high school, said he was in bed sleeping when he heard "four shots and tires squealing."
He and his wife then went outside.
"I just saw several people that I knew who were medical officials working on (Pouillon) and giving him CPR," Shepherd said.
Although it was not immediately clear that Pouillon was targeted because of his beliefs, that was the initial speculation.
"It's a pretty sad day when somebody shoots someone over a political agenda that he had," said Shepherd. "He was always known as the 'sign man.' ... This country is based on freedom of speech."
All Owosso district schools were locked down, but reopened after the suspect was arrested.
Owosso is a town of about 15,000 and 70 miles northwest of Detroit.
OMFG DEMOCRATIC TERRORISM
I'd be a lot more willing to believe he was shot for his activism if it wasn't Detroit.

And near a high school, to boot.

Apparently operation Rescue polices it's own.
ACORN strikes again.

Owosso isn't near Detroit; it's about halfway between Flint and Lansing. It's the home town of Thomas Dewey. :bowler:

Anti-abortion activist killed
Well, it's about time the pro-choicers started returning fire.
Quote"He was always known as the 'sign man.' ... This country is based on freedom of speech."
Annoying anti-choice people with annoying anti-choice signs sometimes simply need to be aborted in their 82nd trimester.
CDM defending the shooting, how predictable.

My thoughts exactly.

That's goddamned right. For too long, it's been a lopsided war between the pro-choicers and anti-choicers. It's about time one of them got whacked, and nobody better than a dickhead with an obnoxious sign and a megaphone.
Now go punch your wife in the stomach for me, and send me the foueoetus.

Peter Wiggin, otoh, is married and a father of four. He owns a small chain of restaurants throughout north Georgia.
It is very illuminating that the very people who always try to claim that the rightwing is crazy because they support abortion clinic bombers, even though nobody on the right actually ever defended them, are now out defending the guy who murdered the pro-life protester.
Thanks for making my point for me.

I think we can rule Dewey out as a suspect.

QuoteGeorge Tiller would normally murder between 10 and 30 children, like the one above, each day.
How many babies have been murdered by George Tiller since May 31st when he was stopped by Scott Roeder?
Answer: ZERO
Large numbers of innocent children scheduled to be murdered by George Tiller are spared by the action of American hero Scott Roeder.
George Tiller, Babykiller, reaped what he sowed and is now in eternal hell.
Psalm 55:15 Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.
George Tiller will not murder a child again.
Abortionist George Tiller, now in eternal hell fire for shedding the blood of innocent children.

You do realize that most of that was for your benefit? Kind of like the complicated mating dance between Neil and Siege you and Seeds are the only ones who don't realize just what it is you two are actually saying to each other.
I am continuously entertained by Hans. I figured out his schictk long ago. He's not stupid, in fact he's quite intelligent which is why when he says such silly things it's comedy gold. He's like our very own Steven Colbert.

That's probably about a third of Languish you're talking about. There's a lot of people here who just won't break character. At least, that's what I'm hoping, as a few of the caricatures are pretty ridiculous. :unsure:

Meh, flamethrowers are simply much more fun to play with.
