Firebomb Thrown At Woman At Prayer

Firebomb Thrown at Elderly Woman at Pro-Life Prayer Event

A homemade incendiary device was thrown at one of the participants of the 40 Days for Life pro-life prayer vigil at an abortion business in Kalispell, Montana on Thursday night.
The woman walked on the public sidewalk near the abortion business when an unidentified person threw the device - akin to a "Molotov cocktail" - in her direction. The woman did not see either the firebomb nor the assailant it exploded on the sidewalk behind her, making a loud popping noise like a big firecracker as it burst into flame. Fortunately, the woman was not hurt in the incident.

After she regained her composure, the victim called Karen Trierweiler, coordinator of the 40 Days prayer vigils in Kalispell at the All Family Health Care abortion center, over to her.

After a lengthy delay, a Kalispell police officer arrived. However, according to officials with the Thomas More Society, a pro-life legal group that is helping the participants, instead of inspecting the bomb debris or calling evidence technicians to the scene, the officer remarked that police could never get prints or other evidence from the bomb's remains and said he would call the city's garbage service to dispose of all the debris.

The officer then said that the 40 Days prayer vigil participants should expect this kind of reaction if they"re protesting at the abortion business. Questioning Officer Hoover's assessment of the attack, Trierweiler called the Kalispell desk sergeant to complain, where she was unable to get further assistance.

Tom Brejcha, president and chief counsel of the Thomas More Society says his group has filed a formal complaint with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Field Office in Helena, Montana. The organization is for an immediate, intensive investigation of what it calls a "vicious" attack.

"We are appalled by this terrible act of violence, while we"re immensely grateful that God's grace spared this valiant pro-lifer any serious injury," he told LifeNews.com this afternoon. "But the reaction of Kalispell police officers after Ms. Trierweiler called them to the scene was equally appalling, indeed outrageous." Ref. Source 5

Prayer Woman Thrown Firebomb

Sounds to me that the police officer does not support the protestors and would rather them be gone from protesting the place. I would not be surprised to find out that he may have a good idea of who did this attack.
