Elderly Pro-life Activist Attacked, Injured in Flagstaff

Flagstaff, AZ – Just a week after Jim Pouillon was shot and killed for his public stand against abortion, 69-year old Johnny Wallace was attacked by two women as he held two non-graphic, text-only signs protesting abortion in Flagstaff, Arizona, on Saturday.

Wallace was alone in front of City Hall on the busiest street in town at the time of the attack with signs that read, “Abortion kills more black Americans in four days than the Klan killed in 150 years,” and “Life begins at conception and ends at Planned Parenthood.” Wallace was known to protest at that location every day.

Wallace was approached from behind by two women, both 48, who began by yelling profanities at him. One then attempted to take way and destroy his sign. After Wallace was wrestled to the ground, the other woman joined the attack.

Paramedics were called and Wallace was treated for minor injuries. He suffered an elbow injury that has required additional treatment.

Both women were cited and released on misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and criminal damage.

“Mr. Wallace was simply exercising his God-given rights as an American citizen when he was brutally assaulted because his attackers disagreed with his beliefs,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “This attack is especially disturbing because the motivation for the attack on Mr. Wallace was the same motivation that caused Harlan Drake to murder Jim Pouillon.”

“Recently there has been an increasing attitude that it is okay to hurt pro-life people if one does not agree with them. This disturbing trend must stop,” said Newman. “We are thankful that Mr. Wallace was not hurt worse than he was, and pray that the violence against pro-life activists will come to an end.”

Operation Rescue has received hundreds of threats and suffered three acts of vandalism on their headquarters in recent months.

“We cannot depend on pro-abortion groups to rein in their supporters. It is incumbent on the Christian community to come alongside pro-life activists all over the country and stand with them. There truly is safety in numbers. Even Jesus sent out the disciples in groups of two,” said Newman. “We urge pro-life churches to take it upon their congregations to make sure that no pro-lifer stands on the street alone. Christians will find that this is an amazing ministry and evangelical opportunity that is spiritually energizing and satisfying.”

How about at least assault charges? Throw in a hate crime too.

Are we starting to see a pattern yet?????

Last Wednesday, I was holding a large graphic poster along one of our main thoroughfares for a "Truth Tour" I was participating in, and on the way to my assigned spot (before I even had my sign in the correct direction), someone yelled out F*CK YOU! very loudly.

The sign Johnny Wallace was holding states it was text, but on another link, it says it was a graphic image.

I’m pretty sure Arizona is a open carry State.

The death penalty only applies to pro-lifers and fetuses.

Soon conception will be redefined as beginning of death... And abortion to be merely a faster performing lifestyle.

Obama, the Philologist in Chief, is hard at work on fixing Merriam-Webster dictionary already, though he started with the meaning of the word "tax".

"Abortion kills more black Americans in four days than the Klan killed in 150 years," and "Life begins at conception and ends at Planned Parenthood".

These kinds of things are going to increase.

I wonder if BarryCare will cover injuries sustained by ProLife demonstrators when attacked by “pro choice” activists, or will there be an exemption....?

AZ is an open carry state.

[mrmeyer]

AZ huh? Sounds to me like Mr. Wallace needs to look into concealed carry.

[mlizzy]

we're supposed to look like this, mr. president ...

[SandRat]

No need for Concealed Carry, AZ is an Open Carry State. Just strap that Hog Iron on and watch the LibTARDS soil their pants.

Simple signs saying, “I’m not a racist. I’m against abortion” would really tick off the libs.

[muawiyah]

Oh, yes, the Feminazis are very real, as are the cannibals. The Democrat power brokers even had Obama speak of "rude" people, as in "Free Range Rude" yesterday.

As bizarre as it may seem it really does look like the Democrats are planning on killing and eating the elderly!

[BertWheeler]

He’s wrong. Abortion kills more blacks in four (4) hours than the Klan killed in 150 years.

Sorry, the victim is older, white, pro-life and male.
No assault or hate crimes for you today :-(

This has been going for years...I use to do pro-life work. All we did was pray,before, there and afterwards, and were nonconfrontational. We usually had 5 police cars show up. We were filmed, hosed, beaten, screamed at, had a gun pointed at us one time by a passenger in a car driving by. One woman tried to run over my daughters at the time that were 3 and 6. I had to quit because it was too dangerous. I use to come home after going to the ‘GATES OF HELL’ and just cry on the swing in the backyard. Not only mentally and physically disturbing but spiritually as well. God protects though and will answer every prayer in your heart. The police do nothing to protect you.

The police do nothing to protect you.

That’s “not their job” , their job includes filling out reports (that may or may not be acted upon) and fining you for driving far better than they do.

Lord have mercy! Fr. Euteneuer has said: “We are called to prayer, fasting and conversion… only God can put a stop to the horror of abortion now,” and I can see how true that is ...
