Given the amount of disinformation given in your post it seems that posting
isn't the only thing you are having trouble with.

I don't defend clinic bombimgs or other means of destruction including the
murder in Florida.  Violence against clinics is wrong and should be punished. 
 But to say that there is no meaningful investigation going on is
preposterous.  

But more egregiously the poster states the clinic blockaders should be
penalized just like any other criminal.  Well, surprise, surprise, for you. 
Not only are they being treated like any other criminal they are being treated 
worse than that.  These people are engaging in peaceful non-violent protest
and the police are using unnecessary pain-compliance holds which leads to
permanent nerve damage.  LAPD has settled suits out of court involving
injuries sustained when officers used nun-chuks.  There are suits still
pending involving jailed blockaders awaiting being harassed by the jailers. 
Unnecessary and unchaparoned strip searches of female blockaders by male
police officers.  Insults and derisive language used against the blockaders
and their relgious views.  Excessive bails set by judges with a pro-abortion
agenda.  Judges issuing orders to the police on how blockaders were to be
handled including threats of contempt of court bench warrants against any
officer who failed to follow the judges' instructions.

This is not fiction.  The facts are there and can be and have been confirmed.

I say that is is time that blockaders be treated like the non-violent civil
disobedient protesters that they are and nothing more.
