Today's media coverup

A "pro-life" activist attacked an elderly pro-choice activist outside a crisis pregnancy center last week leaving the abortion rights supporter in serious condition. The pro-choicer suffered compression fractures in four vertebre, broke his right shoulder bone and two ribs.

Police were called to the scene -- and let the assailant go free.

When contacted for comment, the receptionist who answered the phone at the crisis pregnancy center said the pro-choicer "got what he deserved! He earned what he got!"

And this didn't even make the local newspaper in Harrisburg, Pa. Yet another case of the media maintaining their narrative -- pro-lifers are good, pro-choicers are evil.

This probably doesn't make any sense to you, does it? Well, that's because I switched the victim and assailant and the location of the incident.

It probably doesn't need to be said that if the incident I described had occurred, it would've made the local paper.

The police response is also curious. According to the report, the police let the assailant go free until the extent of the elderly man's injuries were known -- he was arrested later. But can anyone imagine a situation where an elderly man is knocked unconscious, taken away in an ambulance and the cops just let the assailant walk away?
