A few weeks ago, pro-Palestine protestors stormed Hamilton Hall at Columbia University, eventually breaking in and barricading themselves inside overnight. Similar protests and action have taken place at universities around the country, with "encampments" of protestors filling quads and blocking sidewalks and university buildings and services.
With remarkably few exceptions, these besieged institutions have been hesitant to call in law enforcement to clear their publicly funded spaces of activists who are often heard calling for violence against Jews.
It's not just on college campuses that protestors are attempting to annoy society into submission, however. Last weekend still more protestors took the streets – the freeways, to be exact. In Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Orlando, and other cities anti-Israel protestors blocked traffic at vital traffic chokepoints in these already chaotic metropolises. The Chicago contingent said the location of their blockade was chosen specifically because it would wreak havoc for travelers bound for O'Hare International Airport. It's not that they had a problem with the airlines, it's that they wanted their actions to disrupt as many people's plans as severely as possible. The protestors in Orlando likewise blocked access to Disney. Of course, emergency vehicles like ambulances and firetrucks are inevitably waylaid in these instances as well.
While these protestors are sometimes arrested on charges like "disorderly conduct," they will doubtless, for the most part, be slapped on the wrists and released back on the streets, like leftist protesters always are.
There's a very simple reason for that, as Politico helpfully reports: Pro-Palestinian protesters are backed by a surprising source: Biden's biggest donors.
You won't find many Biden donors, however, among pro-life protestors, which perhaps has something to do with the stark contrast between their treatment and that of pro-Palestine protestors by federal law enforcement.
On May 14, several pro-life advocates who had previously been charged with violating the FACE Act by barricading themselves in an abortuary and restricting access to the murders planned for that day, received their sentence. Lauren Handy, unless her appeals change the sentence, will spend almost five years in prison.
Handy discovered the corpses of five developed babies in the trash outside the clinic. The infants' bodies showed signs of illegal late or partial birth abortion, or possibly even of their death outside of the womb. The "doctor" performing these abortions is on video saying he would leave a baby to die if it was born after an attempted abortion, which again is illegal. The babies were known as the D.C. Five and justice was demanded for them, not just by citizens, but by congressmen and senators as well.
The courts, however, have ruled that these bodies be destroyed, rather than investigated, and that Handy and her fellow protestors be sentenced to prison time.
John Hinshaw, a 69-year-old who protested with Handy, will spend almost two years in prison. He said this to the court room at his hearing: "My granddaughter was born at 32 weeks gestation. How is it that my granddaughter is a treasure, and the others are trash?"
Pray for Lauren Handy, John Hinshaw, and their fellow defendants as they continue to appeal for justice, but most of all, pray that the Lord would hasten justice for those little ones and end the practice of abortion in this country.
