Australian March for Babies turns violent: U.S. pro-life activists, MPs assaulted by pro-abort mob
LifeSiteNews ^ | 10-12-13 | John Jalsevac

American pro-life activist Bryan Kemper says he is bruised and sore, but recovering, after a mob of pro-abortion counter-protesters attacked him and his team of pro-life activists during the March for the Babies in Melbourne, Australia.

Kemper, the founder of Prolife Stand True Ministries, told LifeSiteNews.com today that he was thrown to the ground and repeatedly kicked. Several other members of his team were also roughed up.

Pro-life Victoria Member of Parliament Bernie Finn also told the press that he was “belted in the head” and pelted with eggs, and that fellow pro-life MP Andrew Elsbury was thrown to the ground and stomped on.

“What we saw today was literally a public mugging on the streets of Melbourne and Victoria Police let it happen,” Finn fumed. “We had people being assaulted, being kicked, being stomped on and they sat back and watched.”

Trouble began brewing even before the march began, said Kemper. When the pro-life activists tried to begin the march, they were blocked by the mob of about 200 pro-abortion protesters.

Truly sick stuff. One sign reads “f*ck life”.

Yeah, lets see if you have that attitude with a shotgun in your face, b7tch.

So disgusted with these pro-abort murderers.

“The police were useless,” Kemper said

Few places are more excited about getting their abortions than are the Australians, except for the Californians perhaps.

The pro-lifers, and other conservative protesters/marchers, need to carry baseball bats.

You have to expect that people who would murder their infants will also be violent.

Kemper sent out an emergency appeal on Facebook during the event, pleading for prayer. “Near riot situation we are being attacked as we march. Prayers please. Very bad. I've been hit many times already,” he said. “They are surrounding us. Police won't arrest them. I am in front protecting our people. This is the craziest thing ever. Over a thousand. This is scary."
I stopped marching right in front of Planned Parenthoods years ago, not because I was afraid of this type of violence, but because the violence within the Planned Parenthood itself, is being orchestrated by Satan, and he is powerful over anyone not Sacramented to the gills imo. If one wants to end abortion without being involved in a scene, or risk being overtaken by Satan, read my tagline. And then stop by an Adoration Chapel if you like: http://www.acfp2000.com/Chapels/worldmap.htm

No, it is more: Some animals are more equal then others.

I would wager if any of the pro-life people had responded they would have immediately been arrested.

"You have to expect that people who would murder their infants will also be violent."

Therein lies the crux of the matter.

They made a tactical blunder. When police are passive, you need to take close up pictures of their faces, as well as violent acts while they stand there like lumps.

Then you publish pictures of their faces on a website outside the reach of the government, asking each one if they were ordered to stand there and not enforce the law, or if they did so on their own?

This works in two ways. First of all, it strongly implies that these are “political” police, that they do not respect equality before the law for some people.

Even more important, it lets religious people know that these police as individuals do not respect them or their faith, so cannot be expected to act as police should, that they are on their own, and must enforce the law themselves.

And if they seem them in church, to know that they are hypocrites, and condemn them to their faces, even in front of their families.

This is really hardball stuff, but it will likely make them really complain and whine. This doesn’t help their argument, and makes it much more likely that in future, they will do their job.

News.au.com has a slew of papers.

This is the version I found... It’s sickening.

Thank you for saying so well what I was thinking. If the police are standing by while the lawbreakers are creating mayhem, then the problem is a lot worse than we can imagine. The lawlessness among the “law enforcers” has broken down severely here in the US as well. People are arrested for no reason. People are being shot in their beds in cases of mistaken addresses. This situation in Australia needs to be accounted for by their govt. officials. Who indeed told the police to allow the beatings? Hard to believe they did it on their own. Mad Max times are upon us.
