An update on the nut who assaulted me outside Planned Parenthood.
Some of you probably saw my post this afternoon, about the wingnut who assaulted me when I was walking by a Planned Parenthood in Boston.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=4297176&mesg_id=4297176

Now, when I say assault, I mean the creep grabbed my arm. Not being a delicate flower, this did not hurt. However, people who would grab at a woman walking past a PP might do a lot worse to the people inside, so I will make a big deal about this.

Well, an update. After kicking myself for not kicking him, or pressing charges, I went back to PP after work, filed an incident report and met w/ a Boston Police Officer. This man now has a file with the police, and they will be keeping an eye on him.

gee.. I sure hope he doesn't have a busted taillight...

Also, I wanted to assure you that I personally thanked the security guard, and gave him a hug!

1. You may have saved the life of a person by getting his name on file.

If they can keep the freak away..think of the woman who may get out of an abusive relationship or not kill herself because she got to make the choice for her body.

4. I never thought of this.
Just looking in this guys eyes, I could tell he was someone who valued the life of a fetus over that of a live woman.

18. If he cares so much about the unborn - then he should be out educating
kids about birth control and working with science to come up with a man pill - more vasectomies - etc. That is what he can do to save fetus.

Instead they try and ban birth control. And the 'day after' pill.

3. Next time, retaliate and scream something that will bring people running.
Then you can file charges, too. Whee!

6. You did the right thing! And yes, may have lessened the chance of him
doing more serious damage to someone. It gives the authorities a place to start from to corral a person who has likely been a thorn in many sides.

And thank you so much for letting the guard know you appreciated his quick response. We are sometimes very quick to complain about things. I have always tried to make a point of trying to be as quick about praise too. It makes the world a nicer place. And you never know, sometimes that little bit of encouragement to a stranger can make a world of difference to another life.

Glad you are OK and followed through. It is WAY past time for masses of us to take stands against bullies of all sorts. Together we can make them shape up or crawl back under their rocks!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: from an old hand at facing off with PP Clinic opponents who harass and intimidate women seeking health care.

7. I'm glad you did that!
If this guy ever ends up in front of a judge, it's important to be able to show a PATTERN of such behavior.

You did EVERYONE a favor by filing a report. So, THANKS!:) :thumbsup:

10. You did right. Not that he should get the chair for grabbing your arm
but it's right for the police to have a file so that the incidents pile up before he goes and does something really injurious.

15. All I am going to say is...
...if I was you, he would NEVER have to worry about dealing personally with abortion again, BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE KICKED HIS GODDAMN NUTS SO HARD, HE'D BE STILL IN THE FETAL POSITION, pun DEFINITLY intended. God I hope that scumbag goes down HARD.

Lu Cifer, LOVE THE FETUS BUT NOT THE HUMAN
