Police Investigate Death Threats to Movie Theater Owners Screening Pro-Life Film ‘Unplanned’

Police have been called in to investigate allegations of death threats made to cinema theater owners in Canada who had scheduled to screen the pro-life movie Unplanned. B.J. McKelvie, president of Cinedicon, the Canadian distributor of the film that tells the story of Abby Johnson, a former Planned Parenthood manager-turned pro-life activist, confirmed two Canadian independent cinema owners reported threats that caused them to be “fearful for their families,” said LifeSiteNews.

Yet another independent theater owner was reportedly “harassed to the extreme.”

Chuck Konzelman, one of the film’s producer-directors, reportedly said McKelvie requested, for the sake of safety, the film’s producers remove from their website the July 12 listing of 46 Canadian theaters that will be screening the movie.

The death threats are reportedly aimed at the independent theater owners. McKelvie noted “they didn’t get anywhere with Cineplex, or they didn’t get anywhere with Landmark.”

“It’s unfortunate it’s come to that,” he said. “It’s just a movie. The topic is certainly a hot topic. However, it is just a movie. I find it ironic, they talk about choice, pro-choice, pro-choice, pro-choice, but they’re not giving people a choice to go see the movie.”

According to Kelowna Capital News, threats were reportedly made against theater staff via social media in Shuswap, British Columbia, prompting the theater to cancel the film’s screening.

The staff of Salmar Theatres reported the threats and Salmar Community Association board member Chris Papworth confirmed Thursday the board agreed to cancel the film’s scheduled five-day run that would have begun July 12 at the Salmar Classic.

“We have a track record of showing things from a variety of points of view … we try not to preclude things because of whatever personal opinions may exist on our board or something like that,” explained Papworth.

So much for the famed Canadian politeness.

So, do you want a bear to be eating your carcass, eh?

Can’t the authorities track the emailers/callers, and go after them? Both leave digital signatures and trails.

Well that’s what murderers do...leave death threats.

And sometimes follow through.

And they ARE murderers.

Or at least huge fans of it

The Cult of Death does not like being exposed as

a Cult of Death.

Therefore, they make death threats.

The violence and threats all come from the left.

They must be defeated in every election.

It’s rather easy to track digital terrorists. The will has to be there.

Keep in mind what they are doing is a Federal felony. Deprivation of rights guaranteed under the constitution.

Leftists don’t believe in anything but power, and getting what they want, no matter what it takes. They don’t believe laws apply to them. It’s way past time to disabuse themselves of this notion, and at the same time, try and restore some of the badly battered trust the average American has in the myriad institutions that are sworn to protect those rights.

In order to prove they're not a cult of death.

People who are Pro Death (choice) have few boundaries.

Nothing surprising here.

What we are seeing is the beginning stages of a civil war. It starts with this kind of intimidation.
