"Obama decries fatal shooting of antiabortion demonstrator" by Associated Press | September 14, 2009
OWOSSO, Mich. - President Obama yesterday condemned the killing of an antiabortion activist in Michigan as activists and others gathered for a vigil near the site where he was fatally shot.
Obama called last week’s shooting of James Pouillon “deplorable’’ in a statement. “Whichever side of a public debate you’re on, violence is never the right answer,’’ he said....
Oh, I SO AGREE, sir, so BRING the TROOPS HOME and STOP BOMBING PEOPLE!!!
Multicolored flowers, balloons, and candles during yesterday’s vigil marked the spot where Pouillon was shot. More than 200 people attended the vigil, standing in a circle as many carried the same sort of graphic signs he used. The retired autoworker was a well-known and polarizing personality in Owosso, a town of about 15,000 residents. His protests - often staged outside the school, library, at car dealerships, and even football games for several years - rubbed some residents the wrong way and led to frequent court battles.
Not everyone, obviously!

Not even the majority!!!
But some said he was a martyr.
“Not only did my dad die for these babies, he met them in heaven,’’ Pouillon’s daughter, Mary Jo, told the crowd. “When I was little, we rode past Mr. Pouillon, and the guy in front of us threw a bottle at him,’’ said Jack Crawford, 13, as he stood solemnly holding a red-lettered sign that read “Killing is never the answer.’’ “No matter what your beliefs are, you have to respect others’.’’
You see? WE are NOT "terrorists," nor are we intolerant!
