Police say a man is in custody after he brought a small improvised explosive device into a women's health care clinic that provides abortions in south-central Kansas.
Wichita Police Department spokesman Doug Nolte says officers responded to the South Wind Women's Center around 3:30 p.m. Monday. He says on-site security inspected a backpack the man brought in and found knives and the explosive device.
Officials told CBS affiliate KWCH in Wichita that the suspect was also carrying a small box wrapped in tape.
Clinic staff evacuated the building, and a bomb squad was called to remove the backpack. No injuries were reported.
The authorities are investigating as to whether or not the man intended to cause any harm to the clinic or its staff, but since the guy brought a bomb into the same building that Dr. Teller used to work in before he was shot dead, I think it is a pretty good bet that his intentions were not altruistic.
By the way this kind of thing is the predictable byproduct of this most recent attempt to smear Planned Parenthood and abortion providers using those doctored videos.
Some people may write to their Congressman in response, some might create placards and protest outside of clinics, but there is also a fringe group who believes the best way to "save the fetus" is to murder those providing abortion services.
Imagine the right-wing outrage if this had been a Muslim man bringing an IED into a Christian church. Faux news and Miss Quittypants would have shouted how Christians are being persecuted! Hunted, I tell you! But since this guy was targeting an abortion clinic, what do we here? Crickets. By the way, I think you mean Dr. Tiller, not Teller.

ReplyDeleteI'll save them some time: YES, this man is a terrorist. if he were blah, his bullet-riddled corpse would be in the morgue, but since he's white, he's being coddled. He just attempted murder--throw the book at him.
More race baiting from the liberals! Of course! Keep pushing it thru the 2016 elections please!
DeleteNo problem, loser-bigot at 3:33. You're in for a bumpy year or two.
Delete3:33, the truth hurts, doesn't it? That's why you're squealing like a stuck pig.
Delete3:33 I think you have race baiting and truth confused. Of course! Dazed and confused along with willful ignorance seems to be your m.o.
DeleteKeep screaming, if we're all lucky, you'll rip your vocal chords.
Lol. Race baiters... dems and Obama have been playing it for his entire presidency... how those riots (protests?) working out? How is the ole Ferguson economy looking? lol.. How is Baltimore doing? How are all these police shootings by black criminals working out?
DeleteSickos.
9:08, keep your hood on! You might like 3:33; you sound like real Klansmen together.
DeleteI laugh at you 2:20 and your attempts to smear anyone as racist who calls bullshit on the BLM 'movement'. I speak the truth and you are nothing but full of shit.
DeleteAnd, as with the crosshairs posts, guess who's fanning the flames? AS USUAL.
ReplyDelete"Conservatives don't give a shit about you until you reach 'military age'...Then they think you are just fine, just what they've been looking for.
ReplyDeleteConservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers.
Pro-life, pro-life.
These people aren't Pro-Life!
They're killing doctors! What kind of Pro-Life is that? They'll do anything they can to save a fetus, but if it grows up to be a doctor! What kind of Pro-Life is that? They'll do anything they can to save a fetus, but if it grows up to be a doctor they just might have to kill it.
They're not Pro-life, you know what they are? They're anti-Woman. Simple as it gets. Anti-woman. Simple as it gets. Anti-woman. They don't like 'em, they don't like women.
They believe a woman's primary role is to function as a brood mare for the state.
Pro-life.
You don't see many of these white anti-abortion women volunteering to have any black fetuses transplanted into their uteruses, do you? Nah, you don't see them adopting a whole lot of crack babies, do you? No, that might be something Christ would do."

Nothing says "pro-life" like blowing people up.
ReplyDelete"Boy, these conservatives are really something, aren’t they? They’re all in favor of the unborn. They will do anything for the unborn. But once you’re born, you’re on your own. Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don’t want to know about you. They don’t want to hear from you. No nothing. No neonatal care, no day care, no head start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you’re pre-born, you’re fine; if you’re preschool, you’re fucked."

I cannot believe that anyone would wonder whether the bomb was intended to be used or not. Isn't just making and taking a bomb somewhere an act of domestic terrorism? How dense are the Kansas police?

It's now being written off as he was homeless and all of his belongings were in the bag. He was supposedly at the clinic to apply for a job as a canvasser. All of this, of course, has now come out because the police have made a big deal of defending him.
ReplyDeleteStochastic terrorism = the use of mass communications to stir up random lone wolves to carry out violent or terrorist acts that are statistically predictable but individually unpredictable. Thanks media. -sjp
ReplyDeleteBombs and guns serve four purposes, Death, injury, terrorism and ego stroking. This is being spun every which way, and there's no excuse for it whatsoever. The authorities already made up their minds, so nothing will happen, except I'm sending a donation their way. I'm sure this will bring the wrong kind of attention their way, and after what Tiller and others sacrificed for women's issues and health, I feel they deserve some support. I only wish I could afford to give more.
