The 'Abortion trucks' driving around downtown South Bend, IN, on Mondy, May 11 2009

Randall Terry and his ilk have been in South Bend for a few months staging protests against Notre Dame inviting President Obama to speak at this years' commencement. He promised an "aggressive" protest in a SB Tribune interview weeks ago. They have a plane flying over the campus at Notre Dame carrying an anti-abortion banner with graphic photos

Holy crap!!! That is the most disgusting thing I've seen in a LONG time!!!

[niyabinghi]

But is it a Hate Crime, a threat???

[bayarts]

Yes!! I would report these people to the FBI as Marstokyo suggested. This is WAY over the top!

FUCK THAT NOISE. *moves on*

[bayarts]

I just called the organization.

Just curious, what was the reaction? I always wonder whether it's good to call, or if it's just giving them more attention. (Not criticizing! Just wondering.)

[bayarts]

I got voice mail. I screamed at them. This hate crime mentality makes me so angry!!! Perhaps I'm just as bad for screaming, but this is an injustice and worthy of my railing against them.

The WSBT news crew said they had driven around trying to find the trucks; perhaps they'll find them as they're driving thru downtown South Bend again tomorrow morning.

That is so vile. Shock jock on a panal truck, abusing the viewer into a viseral reaction.

It *is* an assault, an aggressive visual assault.

Yes it is - you could say intention to start a riot (which I'm guessing wouldn't bother those idiots a bit). And this is out in traffic - at best it could 'cause traffic problem. If there where say pic of a woman or man skillfully applying a condom with their mouth how far would that get? Sex is censored - inciting a rioting bunch of idiots is not? sheesh

Those trucks has "nutjob" written all over them. Oof.
