Honey. You used to be partly rational. Now, not so much.
You kind of ignore what is known and what is only being claimed before jumping on your outrage platform.
1. The 72 yr old man he “pushed”, landed on the ground and required medical attention. That is not in dispute, it is a matter of record.
2. There are federal laws protecting people trying to access abortion clinics. That is a fact.
Any argument with the above?
Let’s move on to the unsupported claims.
Mark Houck — president of a Catholic men's ministry — was charged Friday with assaulting a volunteer patient escort outside of a Planned Parenthood clinic. His supporters are calling it persecution.

Basically, per the article, the claims made by Houck can not verified.
This is what is claimed by each side:
“
A SWAT team of about 25 came to my house with about 15 vehicles and started pounding on our door,” she said, describing her husband’s arrest on Friday. “They had about five guns pointed at my husband, myself, and basically at my kids. They came in as if they were expecting some kind of confrontation.”
On Monday, a spokesperson for the FBI’s Philadelphia field office called the Houcks’ recounting of events as “inaccurate” and described agents’ conduct as “professional” and “in line with standard practices.”
“No SWAT team or SWAT operators were involved,” the statement read. “FBI agents knocked on Mr. Houck’s front door, identified themselves as FBI agents, and asked him to exit the residence. He did so and was taken into custody without incident pursuant to an indictment.”
This is the only picture I can find that is identified as from the incident, and seems to be taken from a door camera. It certainly does match what the Houck’s claim.
Mr. Houck is a very big man. He allegedly assaulted a 72 yr old man. I am sure there were witnesses and the facts of the case will come out in the trial, one way or the other.
You ”pro-lifers” have a decades long history of violence: bombings, murders, assaults and arsons for your cause.
I recall Trump’s FBI driving around picking people up off the street with out cause or warrant after protests. Or trying to use the military against civilians. How quickly you forget (or maybe you agree). The far right, Trump’s solid blindly faithful base, has increasingly embracing authoritarianism over democratic principles. That comes far closer to fascism than a handful of FBI agents carrying out an arrest warrant.
If we mods have collectively “lost our minds” I think it is more likely you who is the one with a questionable mind.
