pro-life activist murdered last week (and I didn't see this in the news)

I didn't see this in the C-J or anywhere else (hat tip: Rebecca Yeager).

That seems odd...

If it'd been a pro-choicer, I would have had to peel the blisters off my eyeballs that would be caused by the coverage.

Here it is from CNN...

Authorities have charged an Owosso, Michigan, man with two counts of first-degree premeditated murder in the Friday shooting deaths of an anti-abortion activist and another man, a prosecutor's office said.

Authorities say the suspect, Harlan James Drake, was offended by anti-abortion material that the activist had displayed across from the school all week.

Drake, 33, is accused of shooting anti-abortion activist Jim Pouillon, 63, and Michael Fuoss, 61...

Pouillon, whose anti-abortion activity was well-known in the area, was protesting across the street from Owosso High School about 7:20 a.m. Friday when he was killed by several shots fired from a passing vehicle...

Appreciate your post on this. You are correct that media outrage is highly selective.

The MSM story I read also explained that the "anti-abortion" (rather than pro-life) activist may have been known to be somewhat temperamental (I guess this means he had it coming).
No real outrage over the murder; it wasn't labeled a "hate crime" --simply points to how unfortunate it is that Americans have become so divided over this issue.

In any case, I actually did wonder why you didn't comment on this, especially in light of the attention Tiller's murder received several months ago.

I should have known you better!

It's ok to be offended by the truth - and to take matters into your own hands, as it were.

You are NOT, however, permitted to be offended by the most clever and misguided explanations of life that MAN has come up with, otherwise you will be branded with the 'freak' badge by the MSM.

Clearly, being opposed to killing unborn children is reprehensible enough in itself to repeat said reprehension a bazillion times on any given MSM network.

Didn't the poor guy realize he had it coming??
