Linda Gibbons Arrested Again

Looks like the Ontario Provincial Police has adopted the old Soviet principle: "when there is a man, there is a criminal charge". Just days after a pro-life heroine Linda Gibbons had been acquitted of disobeying a court order, they found another reason to arrest her: This time it's for "mischief to property". The "mischief" involves nothing but standing outside of an abortuary with a placard saying "Why mom, when I have so much love to give?"

The two officers were joined by three more policemen and a sherriff’s deputy - five cops to arrest the diminutive grandmother. Police read her a statement - apparently the 15 year old “temporary” injunction against protests at that clinic - and she was taken into custody without incident.

The charge is the same as before; “obstructing a peace officer”. There’s also a new charge of “mischief to property.”

Gibbons has twice been released on the obstruction; last September, a judge specifically said that her policy of peaceful and non-violent resistance could in no way to construed as obstruction of law enforcement officers. The eyewitness told LifeSite News it was hard to fathom the “mischief to property” charge, because Gibbons perpetrated no damage or vandalism of any kind.

If it takes 5 police officers and a deputy sheriff to arrest a harmless woman who doesn't actually do anything wrong - I wonder how many Ontario policemen does it take to arrest a gang member. If they actually go as far as arresting gang members, rather than just letting them off with another warning...

And another thing: if the OPP had it priorities straightened out, if they didn't put that much effort into tormenting peaceful pro-life protesters, doing their best to fight violent criminals instead - there wouldn't be that many shooting incidents in Toronto.
