Pro-choice violence puts prolife activist in hospital

I notice a pattern:
“He said ‘you don’t have a right to be here!’” Stadig related, “and I said ‘I do have a right to be here, this is a Colorado Petition Drive’. Then he grabbed my petition pad, and with the same movement threw me to ground, and I was hurt so bad I couldn’t get up.”

Stadig was on a bicycle. He struck the ground hard on his hip and was in too much pain to rise. Stadig said that there were between 10 and 20 people present, and at least seven witnessed the assault, but no one had tried to stop the man. “It happened so fast, and they were too far away,” he explained.

The man who had attacked him did not stop to see if Stadig was injured. “After he threw me off the bicycle, he proceeded to leave,” Stadig said, “and I was trying to get people to call the police… to get that man’s license number, because I couldn’t do it.” Eventually a woman came forward, took the man’s license plate, and wrote a report.

Stadig learned later that his hip had been broken.

He remained on the ground for several minutes. “There were people around,” he said, “but no one offered to help me up.”

Eventually security personnel came out of the store and got Stadig off the ground and into a chair to wait for the ambulance.

Stadig was bruised and his hip badly injured: “I found out that it was separated, and I must get a replacement ball socket.”
