Pro-Life School Bus Firebomed in Rockford, Illinois
Local pro-life advocates are upset that a pro-life school bus, run by a local Catholic Church, has been firebombed. They’re also disappointed the local media has reported very little on the incident.
Frank Munda, who runs the pro-life blog ProLife Corner, has more details about what happened:
A large school bus, owned by Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Academy, that is well-known throughout Rockford for its beautiful pro-life pictures and words asking people to “pray to end abortion”, was fire bombed on Friday night. The damage was extensive to the bus as windows were broken in on both sides and fire bombs were thrown inside to cause maximum damage.
It has been speculated that this bombing of a pro-life Christian school bus is in retaliation for the closing of the Rockford abortion mill that is located not far from where the school bus was attacked. It’s interesting that abortion supporters in Rockford not only kill children in the womb but may well have destroyed a school bus used by children as an act of revenge for the closing of their child killing center.
Munda says that not only has the local media ignored what happened but they highlighted an old act of violence from the pro-life side.

Isn’t that sad. Where was the “parenthood” bus. The one that teaches parenting, responsibility, fatherhood and follow through. Don’t you long for the days of “shotgun weddings”.
We could be fighting the wrong battle.

The irony is that Satan himself is collecting a busload for the subhuman turds who would murder the pre-born or a busload of schoolkids

Here’s the Rockford Register Star article:
FIREBOMB
FTA: Speculation was reported on an anti-abortion website that the fire may have been set as an anti-Catholic message or in retaliation against anti-abortion groups that campaigned to close the Northern Illinois Women’s Center in Rockford, which its owners closed earlier this year citing lack of support from the community, the political climate surrounding the abortion issue and the staffing challenges the clinic faced.

Here’s REAL reporting for ya—
“Bageanis said authorities may be able to determine why the fire was set if they can find who is responsible.
Rockford Fire Department investigator Mark Marinaro said there were no messages left at the scene and so far no evidence of a religious or political motivation.”

Cardigan- thank you for this Whiskey Tango Foxtrot (WTF!!!) moment. I work in Rockford and have to get my local news from IOtW?!?!
“Isn’t that sad. Where was the “parenthood” bus. The one that teaches parenting, responsibility, fatherhood and follow through.”
Dave, I don’t know if you’ve ever seen any of my posts, but I’ve mentioned several times before how my local government cultivates the exact opposite of what you’re wondering about. We actually advertise in other cities offering to set people up in Section 8 housing, healthcare, foodstamps, etc. Apparently the locals aren’t generating enough welfare babies to maintain a liberal voting base.
I’m gonna go rip my hair out now…..

Hey Doktor- real story on the clinic closing was that the place was such a filthy disgusting pit that even the officials visiting from the state couldn’t ignore it. Too many violations to stay open. The liberal cautionary tale of filthy back-alley abortions was being played out in a state-sanctioned clinic, dirty tools, broken autoclaves, piles of refuse, improper disposal of (unmentionable). Imagine the horror, considering that it was an Illinois bureaucrat that was made to cringe. The place needed to be razed to the ground.

@HooHooNayNay – Yeah, from what I gleaned from the “story” I realized that it wasn’t the Catholics that got the place shut down. My sister is near Rockford and I just notified her this morning about this via FB.

What the headlines in newspapers should read: Baby Killing Terrorists Bomb Pro-Life Bus.
Instead, the pathetic hacks posing as news reporters ignore the story. Most “journalists” these days are nothing more than traitors.

Lets see here a Christian, Pro-Life bus fire bombed, I can only think of two groups.
1. Militant Libtards
2. Islamo-Fascists
Two sides of the same coin.

They don’t consider this news, obviously. You’re right even steven, the journalists will sit back as the Christians are persicuted too and say nothing. They are traitors….

We do have a strong Catholic presence here in Rockford; you should see once a year they line the main roadways, hundreds of silent protesters holding up signs (but not the graphic ones that make you weep) it’s absolutely amazing. It gets bigger every year. Holy Family, one of the churches which also has a private school, puts little pink and blue crosses on the lawn to symbolize the number of babies aborted in our town every year. Libs scream how offensive this is. Little pink and blue crosses? Really?
The Register Star is a Gateway Media toilet tissue. Linda Grist Cunningham was in charge for years, turned it into an absolute joke, kept her husband on to write op-eds that wouldn’t get printed in a high school weekly. You want to see something truly pathetic, google “Pat Cunningham Register Star” and the whine screeches from the printed word. You’ll see why this firebombing got no truthful coverage.
