A UW-Stevens Point student senator attempted to destroy a display made by Pointers for Life, a pro-life organization last weekend. The protest featured a "graveyard" of 4,000 crosses to symbolize the number of abortions in the U.S. each day.
Roderick King apparently saw the display, and instead of launching a peaceful protest of his own, decided to start taking down the crosses one by one.
See the video here (embedding was disabled for this one).
As someone who is personally pro-choice, I find the graveyard a little offensive. However, it's obviously a First Amendment protection for the group to protest. King had no right to destroy the display simply because he disagreed with it.
King is a prime example of why liberals are sometime stereotyped as being irrational. But it's important to note that most of us can identify a wacko when we see one...even on our own side of the aisle.
