Pro-life Display Destroyed at Washington University - Vandal Arrested
By John-Henry Westen BELLINGHAM, WA, May 3, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A Western Washington University pro-life club's display was virtually destroyed by yesterday afternoon by a bare-foot male student who was photographed and videotaped as he dismantled the display. After spending more than three hours playing his guitar and observing the campus-approved display, the Asian male began to tape newspapers over one of the perimeter signs that warned students they were approaching the display. The student was then observed leaping over the perimeter barricade that surrounded the display. Pro-life students, out of respect for his person, did not physically interfere as the vandal proceeded to systematically tear down the entire display. Their first concern was for the safety of several small children inside the display area who were quickly moved to safety. At one point the student picked up one of the plastic pipes used for framework and hurled through one of the signs later ripping the large poster to shreds and proceeding to destroy the next sign. When he had completed his destruction, the young man left the enclosure and rejoined a handful of pro-abortion supporters who had gathered to cheer him on. The group embraced the young man and greeted him with cheers and applause. The incident was captured on film by numerous security cameras. Campus police were called and as soon as the sirens could be heard, the young man immediately ran into one of the campus buildings. He was followed through the building and exited out the back where he was observed heading into the forested surroundings. Campus police arrived within minutes and several constables pursued him into the heavy bush. Within thirty minutes they had captured him and he was escorted to the police station. Charges are pending but police indicated that he faces felony charges as well as campus disciplinary action. John Hof, President of Campaign Life Coalition BC who was present for the display complimented the pro-life students for their calm demeanour during this assault on their campus freedoms. "Not one student raised their voice or their hands as this whole incident transpired," Hof told LifeSiteNews.com. "In fact the destruction of the display lead many more students to engage the pro-lifers in discussion. They certainly gained the sympathy of onlookers and passers-by as they quietly attempted to repair the damage done and re-erect the display as best they could." Preliminary estimates indicated the damage done could reach as high as several thousand dollars. Organizers said they had permission from campus administration for a two-day display and promised to return for their second day today. |

At first Mel thought Kurt was mocking him.
Mel: Y,y,y,y, yourrrr, mmmmmmocking mmmeeee.
Kurt: Nnnnnn, no Iiiiii'mmm not
Outstanding!!
Hopefully he'll get tossed off the campus as well as earn himself a felony conviction. That'll be one more pro-abort voter stricken from the rolls.
Then he can explain to his mommy and daddy how he blew his chance at a decent education and p***ed his parents hard earned money away.
For some reason I hear the question: "Would you like fries with that?" in his future, and I don't think he'll be the one being asked.

Thanks - I saw that saying for tagline in a publication called "The Abbey Report." It is a wonderful little publication put out by the Holy Rosary Abbey in Galesburg, Illinois.
BTTT.
Do you suppose a group of Sally Jacobson-like professors will organize a petition drive for his acquittal?
Red Square. How liberal...
Yes indeed. I'm not convinced it's called that becuase it's a red brick plaza....
"I didn't say he was, but his name would lead a reasonable person to wonder. It's not like his name is Smith. David Janus Zhang, 21"
Here in the US, we have millions of citizens of Asian decent. A reasonable person living in the US would not think someone called David Zhang is from anywhere but the US.
OH My GOD...Did you say "Black". it's African American you racist!
Kirkwood..I think it's clear what the gentleman meant. We have an enormous amount of foriegn born kids in our universities today. For someone to suggest that the name Zhang, is a visa holding student, is at least a little reasonable.
Perhaps he's dead wrong, but the implication that he/she is an automatic racist is just as wrong. I am married to an Asian, and am father to an AMERICAN Asian/Causcasion. I think you maight be knee-jerking just a bit.
Some african and asian families has been American citizens generations longer than my family, but I don't hear anyone assuming I must be foreign-born ONLY because of the color of my skin or the shape of my eyes. You and I both know that nothing would have been said about being foreign born if the picture showed a white college student tearing down the displays. It is racist when you judge a person by their appearance and it is unacceptable to tolerate that crap here on FR.
Yes, we are currently a pro-abort state, but I am very optimistic about the future even here in Washington.
The publication you are referring to is put together by one Ryan St. Anne. This man IS NOT a priest...he is a fraud. I know this because my mother, who is elderly, is in his Abbey and has little to no contact with any of her family. Ryan has been intercepting her mail that I've sent her. He has attempted to discredit me, though he has never met me. He has however, seen my web-site that I posted about him, HolyRosaryAbbey.org, and it angered him. Please review this site as I have posted legal documents etc. exposing him. Anyone who has anything they would like to add to this site or any information they would like to share with me about him, I would be thrilled to receive. I posted this site to warn and prevent others and their families from becoming a financial victim of Ryan.
