Breaking: Firebomb thrown at elderly pro-life activist at 40 Days vigil

March 18, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A homemade bomb akin to a Molotov cocktail was thrown at an elderly pro-life activist during a 40 Days for Life prayer vigil yesterday, March 17. The attack took place at around 6:15 p.m., near the All Family Health Care abortion center in Kalispell, Montana, according to the Thomas More Society (TMS)
According to Karen Trierweiler, coordinator of the 40 Days prayer vigils in Kalispell, the device was thrown at one of the vigil participants, an elderly retired woman, by an unidentified assailant as she walked on the public sidewalk near the abortion facility.
The victim did not see the thrower, nor did she see the device before it exploded on the sidewalk behind her, making a loud popping noise as it burst into flame. The victim was unhurt.
The victim then called Trierweiler to the scene, who called the police.
According to the TMS, which has filed a complaint with the FBI about the incident, a Kalispell police officer arrived only after a lengthy delay. The Society reports the police officer told the 40 Days prayer vigil participants that they should expect this kind of reaction if theyre out protesting.
We are appalled by this terrible act of violence, while were immensely grateful that Gods grace spared this valiant pro-lifer any serious injury, said Thomas Brejcha, president and chief counsel of the Thomas More Society.
Brejcha, however, took issue with the handling of the affair by the Kalispell police officer, calling his reaction equally appalling, indeed outrageous. Brejcha said they would be filing a disciplinary complaint against the officer and a desk sergeant who was also unhelpful.
We expect much better from the FBI, he said, and we will pursue the matter to the very highest levels of the U.S. Department of Justice if this case is not investigated promptly and vigorously and - once the assailant is identified and apprehended - prosecuted to the hilt.
Trierweiler also reported that an eyewitness has stepped forward, who was not part of the 40 Days campaign, but rather a passerby, who saw the incident occur and who may be able to help the FBI track down the bomb thrower.

too bad the old gal didn’t have a concealed carry
the bomber might have been “aborted”
of course she’d probably then get convicted of murder
#21 - ...handling of the affair by the Kalispell police officer, calling his reaction “equally appalling, indeed outrageous.”
Theyre finished. Hence, their desperation. I wish I could say I didnt expect them to get more violent before they flame out. Damn the agitating power seekers who stir them up. Damn them.

We may need to consider extrajudicial* means to punish union pig cops.

"SHOULD EXPECT"? Do your job, copper. Detail a patrol around the block.
They push us still.
I’ve been engaged in a situation where the pro-aborts threatened to tear down our signs and come at us with box cutters.
They are just plain thugs.
The communists would kill us if they could. They just can’t get away with it...(yet).
It seems the Death Eater Marxists are getting bolder.
Kalispell, Montana
Never would have thought a red state....shameful. Could even be a Republican....dang it. Although obviously one in name only or even worse one of those pro fiscals but anti social issues types. I cannot get over this happening in deep deep red state of Montana. Things are just plain crazy. I also was hoping it was another country when I read the title....Dang it!!!!
This is the first that I have heard of a kidnapping. Wow!
Do have links?
And....Have the “disappearances” begun?
I don’t believe Janet Reno’s FACE Act covers attacks against prolife protesters.

One email may not make much difference, but if any of these media outlets pick up this story, this story will have legs...
Maybe you can use your ping lists to get people to email these folks.
The volume of email might be the telling factor...
Just checking in to see at what age one is described as being “elderly”. Hmmm...doen’t say. Kinda bad to throw a firebomb in anybody’s direction.
This is her top story, and has been since I checked hew website last weekend.
Her cousin vanished a while ago.
An attractive young girl might be kidnapped by low-life thugs.
On the other hand, there may be those who want payback against Michelle for her hard hitting writing.
It might have been a year ago where multiple liberal left writers/people were calling for to be hate r-ped.
I think this website was just set up.
I don't know if this was a case of someone snatching a beautiful young lady, or powerful people getting payback against Michelle.
“Civil War. You cant negotiate with these animals.”
Right. I think that’s all they’ll understand.
Kill babies, take out people, they don’t care.
I’m ready.
Very sad.
Will do!
