WASHINGTON, D.C., December 16, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) — A pro-life activist has filed a civil suit against a senior Google employee who was filmed assaulting him outside a Planned Parenthood facility in the nation’s capital, following local authorities’ failure to pursue the matter.
On August 31, Michael Gribbin was writing pro-life chalk messages on the sidewalk outside a Washington, D.C. Planned Parenthood location when a man approached him and took his chalk. Gribbin then took out his cell phone and followed the man, informing him he was calling the police. The man cursed at Gribbin and flashed a middle finger at him, then turned violent when Gribbin put his hand on the man’s bike in an effort to keep him from leaving until the police arrived. The man punched Gribbin and knocked him to the ground, resulting in several bruises over his body and at least some bleeding on his leg.
A Daily Caller investigation identified the attacker as Quinn Chasan, Google’s head of customer analytics for Google Cloud. His responsibilities include helping government agencies “integrate their digital tracking programs with their offline data to create a 360 degree view of the citizen, across efforts from opioid treatment & recovery to military recruiting.”
“I hope the DC police will pursue this suspect, will take the case seriously as political violence,” Gribbin said in September. “We don’t have much reason to be hopeful from other cases similar to this.”
Washington Metropolitan Police said at the time that the incident was “under investigation,” but a lack of developments compelled Gribbin to take matters into his own hands by filing a civil suit against Chasan, pro-life activist and scholar Michael New announced in a December 12 press release.
“I am disappointed that the Washington Metro Police Department has not yet filed charges against Quinn Chasan. However, I am pleased that Mike Gibbin is pursuing legal action,” said New, a Catholic University of America professor who also coordinates weekly prayer vigils outside the Planned Parenthood location in question. “Pro-life activists are not targets. No one should have to fear physical violence for espousing pro-life views in public. A ruling in Gribbin’s favor will make it clear that individuals who harm peaceful pro-life activists will be punished.”
Pro-abortion violence against peaceful pro-life demonstrators is much more common than mainstream media coverage indicates. In July, Created Equal released an eight-minute video highlighting incidents of assault, vandalism, theft, and profanity directed at the organization’s volunteers. In January, Texas pro-life activist Ryan Roberts was severely bloodied by an irate passerby who got out of his truck specifically to puch him, while last year 65-year-old Joe Alger was hospitalized in Florida by a man coming out of an abortion center.
Chasan’s contempt for peaceful pro-life activism, meanwhile, appears consistent with Google’s decidedly liberal internal culture. Numerous leaked private conversations appear to show not only that the dominant ideologies within Google are dramatically out of step with the country at large, but that the company is willing to enforce those ideologies through its ostensibly neutral services and platforms.

The politicians have probably ordered the police to look the other way.
Yea if it’s one thing the OJ Simpson trail taught us it’s that Civil courts is where we will get our justice.
Why on Earth does “Google” have to appear in the headline? Why does that matter?
If you have to have it explained you still wouldn’t understand.
Google donations run 98% Democrat.
GOOD!
We have been *nice* for too long and need to give back what the left has been dishing out unchallenged for too long.
Here’s an interesting video on being *nice*.

I do understand that. I am no fan of Google.
But it would be weird if newspapers started routinely saying, “Honda employee sued for child support”, “Verizon employee arrested for DUI”, “Wells Fargo employee accused of domestic abuse”.
When the victim sues the Google employee he will get a lot of money?
Chances are Google put pressure on the locals not to prosecute.
And if that’s proven in court, I hope Google pays through its nose...
Quinn Chasan is a graduate of Claremont Men’s College, class of 2013. He’s all over the Internet.
This is why it’s so important to inform the readers about Goolge:
“A Daily Caller investigation identified the attacker as Quinn Chasan, Google’s head of customer analytics for Google Cloud. His responsibilities include helping government agencies “integrate their digital tracking programs with their offline data to create a 360 degree view of the citizen, across efforts from opioid treatment & recovery to military recruiting.””
Leftism, under all of its brand names, is a violent mental disorder.
It would make sense to include Honda if Honda supported only candidates who overtly dealt with child topics. Also, I could see naming Verizon if they only supported candidates that overtly dealt with drinking. It’s the same with Wells Fargo and domestic abuse issues.
This is the scary part of this article describing the defendant’s job:
His responsibilities include helping government agencies “integrate their digital tracking programs with their offline data to create a 360 degree view of the citizen, across efforts from opioid treatment & recovery to military recruiting.”
Just d-mn!
In addition, Google is decidedly Leftist and aligns with PP ideologically. I'm sure that makes him pro-choice and anti pro-life.
The poster can't change the headline, so it is what it is.
