Bomb Goes Off At Planned Parenthood In Wisconsin

Police are looking for a suspect after a bomb went off Sunday night outside a Planned Parenthood clinic in Grand Chute, Wisc.

WGBA, the NBC affiliate in Green Bay, reported the explosion did only a small amount of damage to the building. The television station did not report any injuries.

1. Can we dispense now with calling these people 'pro-life'? They are terrorists.

They are an anti-choice mob who are domestic terrorists.

[MineralMan]

2. Anti-choice terrorists.

That is exactly what they are: Terrorists.

[RKP5637]

6. Exactly! They need to be called what they are, Domestic Terrorists. They get

too much of a license to do what they do, because they operate their hatred and violence under the banner of religion.

11. You're lucky to get it called a 'bomb'

Just one 'classic media' outlet - Milwaukee Journal Sentinel - called it a bomb (so did Business Insider, Huffington Post and 'The Frisky', which is, surprisingly, not a website for cats). To most 'classic media' it's 'an explosive device' or just 'explosive'.

No-one has mentioned the word 'terrorist' yet:

12. woman-hating anti-choice domestic terrorists

3. Santorum was in town this weekend...

coincidence?

[Mopar151]

4. I spent a little time there - about a month one week

Too many wanna be wingnut money-worshpping morons for my taste - especially the managers I was dealing with. The only professional I dealt with was the guy who the morons called a "nut", because he had serious talent and did'nt kiss their ass or worship the Packers.

[Cirque du So-What]

7. I've been to Appleton, which isn't far

The plant manager of the facility I visited was a huge wingnut who kept print copies of World Nut Daily on the coffee table in the reception area.

10. You're talking Joe McCarthy country over there.

16. Only a few blocks away from the world headquarters of the John Birch Society

15. Week hell

I spent a life time in Madison one winter.

[eShirl]

5. Domestic Terrorism

Homeland Security will be right on this, right?

[MineralMan]

8. Actually, they just might. Bombs come under the jurisdiction

of Homeland Security, ATF, and the FBI. I imagine there will, indeed, be an investigation. Here's a story about a similar situation that includes the ATF and FBI. They do investigate these things:

9. A little too close to home....

I've been by that place a lot and never noticed Planned Parenthood's facility.

Add to this the story about a man from our town who went to Madison with a gun for the expressed purpose of "killing an abortion Doctor". He's currently ordered to stand trial in Federal Court in Madison.

The GOP has whipped up the rhetoric to a fever pitch which has driven the nutcases from the shadows to the forefront.

Damn.

14. The Gillett Street Clinic is really tucked out of the way.

But these crazy bastards have been out there in the street for over 30 years (anywhere from 1 to 3 or 4 a day, sometimes none). They are a band of nuts and this is not the first time they've planted a pipe bomb or whatever it was. About 25 years ago they blew up a schrub on the property. I guess they've been emboldened by the GOP attack on American women.

Edit to add: The Planned Parenthood offices are on Wisconsin Ave. This is a separate clinic where abortions and other procedures are done.

13. They won't call it terrorism.

This will be an isolated "Incident"

This will be a lone "extremist."

Watch.

[Lionessa]

17. Seems they at least weren't after life or limb,

just terrorizing. Sorry, I know I'll be unpopular, but my first thought was "at least the timing and size were non-lethal."

These people are so rooted in their belief and the "god-given right" to interfere with the beliefs and values of others, that there really is no hope that they will ever change, or have ever changed. What's changed is our politicians, both sides, but mostly Republicans, just entirely choosing to be over-taken by this group, which is also the anti-gay-rights group for the same reason.

Ironically of course, this religious interference in gov't is specifically addressed in the Constitution and yet the party of small gov't, of constitutional "purity" is totally becoming the equivalent of an Islamist party. (note: Islamist referring to extreme and extremely controlling parties within the ME, not to all Islamic religion nor parties nor countries nor peoples.)
