Abortion protest “violence” – by whom, did you say?
The opening paragraph of June 18’s Flint Journal story breathlessly reported: “The reaction didn’t get violent as it did last year, but emotions clearly were running high as people viewed graphic photos of aborted fetuses exhibited by an anti-abortion group at several local stops Friday.”
Then quoted were a “sobbing” woman and a woman who had miscarried, both distraught by the photos.
It wasn’t until paragraph 5 did the reporter reveal that last year’s “violence” was at the hand of an angry, white pro-abort woman who “was so incensed by the posters that she drove her car over a curb and wrestled the group’s leader, the Rev. Matt Trewhella, to the sidewalk…. Amanda Crim of Davison later pleaded guilty to assault and battery in Flint District Court.”
