That’s a fine how-do-you-do.
A homemade incendiary device was thrown at one of the participants of the 40 Days for Life pro-life prayer vigil at an abortion business in Kalispell, Montana on Thursday night.
The woman walked on the public sidewalk near the abortion business when an unidentified person threw the device akin to a Molotov cocktail in her direction. The woman did not see either the firebomb nor the assailant it exploded on the sidewalk behind her, making a loud popping noise like a big firecracker as it burst into flame. Fortunately, the woman was not hurt in the incident.
After she regained her composure, the victim called Karen Trierweiler, coordinator of the 40 Days prayer vigils in Kalispell at the All Family Health Care abortion center, over to her.
After a lengthy delay, a Kalispell police officer arrived. However, according to officials with the Thomas More Society, a pro-life legal group that is helping the participants, instead of inspecting the bomb debris or calling evidence technicians to the scene, the officer remarked that police could never get prints or other evidence from the bombs remains and said he would call the citys garbage service to dispose of all the debris.
The officer then said that the 40 Days prayer vigil participants should expect this kind of reaction if theyre protesting at the abortion business. Questioning Officer Hoovers assessment of the attack, Trierweiler called the Kalispell desk sergeant to complain, where she was unable to get further assistance.

Bumpee.
Where’s the video? Surely they had their cameras rolling when the police showed up?
I would tend to believe that kind of thing does not go down well in Montana, and whomever did this would be well advised to get the hell out of the State ASAP...
While being recorded, a proper response to the officer should be to “ask” him if it would be “okay with him”, if the next time somebody attacks them with a lethal weapon, that they return fire with intent to prevent him from carrying out an act of attempted murder?
This not only implies that he only enforces the laws he feels like enforcing, but that he is indifferent to protecting them from an assailant attempting to kill them, so they should have free license to engage in lethal self defense as needed.
Likely his response will be that they shouldn’t attempt to defend themselves, to which they could respond that since the police hereabouts seem to be lackadaisical, and don’t seem to be interested in either protecting the public, or preventing violent felony crimes, that they don’t seem to have much choice but to use necessary force to protect themselves from terrorists.
