Federal prosecutors say a Delaware resident threw a lit incendiary device at a Planned Parenthood facility and spray-painted the words "Deus Vult," which means "God wills it," in Latin on the building.


(CNN)A Delaware man threw a lit incendiary device at a Planned Parenthood facility and spray-painted the Latin words for "God wills it" on the building, federal prosecutors said Monday.

Samuel James Gulick, 18, of Middletown, was charged with intentionally damaging a building that provides reproductive health services and maliciously damaging a building used in interstate commerce through the use of fire or a destructive device, the US Attorney's office in Delaware said.

. . .

Video surveillance showed Gulick spray-painting the words "Deus Vult" in red letters on the building and throwing the lit incendiary device at the building's front window, according to the complaint. The object exploded but self-extinguished after about a minute, prosecutors said.
"Deus Vult" is Latin for "God wills it," according to Merriam-Webster.

Personally, I find the suggestion repugnant. Rape in any form is unacceptable.

Tell me what is the difference between an ISIS terrorist throwing an incendiary device at American interests and yelling "Allahu Akbar" Vs this American home grown terrorist throwing an incendiary device at American interests and spray painting "Deus Vuit." None!

That double cross with the M is Jesus and Mary. Supposed to be a sigel for protection of infants and children.

I guess the Supremes only approved standing very close to clinics so that they can be fire bombed.

And of course the 11th Commandment that Jesus also supported says: "Though shall not suffer a clinic to survive that offers women modern scientific medical care... PS a fetus is a person from the moment a male sperm hits."

I'm sure I've read something like that in the new testament.

Nothing like religious terrorism

But he is going to learn a whole lot about "the devil" in prison. He doesn't have a clue.
