Climate of Fear Part 45
Vandalism against non-violent anti-abortion protests continues to spread across the college campuses of America. First there was the Northern Kentuky University case I mentioned a few weeks ago involving a professor destroying an anti-abortion display. Now there have been two new cases. First at Western Washington University:
A Western Washington University student did $2,700 of damage Tuesday to a Red Square display showing pictures of aborted fetuses next to images of genocide before being arrested, police said.David Janus Zhang, 21, jumped over the three-foot high aluminum fencing surrounding the exhibit at about 1:30 p.m., said Dave Doughty, assistant chief of the Western Washington University Police Department. Zhang then 'went on a rampage,' punching, tearing and pushing over the display, he said.
Police eventually arrested Zhang in Sehome Arboretum. He was booked into Whatcom County Jail on malicious mischief and disorderly conduct charges.
Then at Princeton University, where the vandals are still at large:
In a presumed instance of politically-motivated vandalism, the Princeton Pro-Life flag display in front of Frist Campus Center was destroyed early Thursday morning.The 347 flags on the north lawn were meant to represent the lives of students who might have become members of the University's Class of 2010 had abortion not been legalized.
Pro-Life president Tom Haine '08 said the vandalism took place sometime between the hours of 11 p.m. Wednesday and 4 a.m. Thursday.
