It turns out, pro-life protesters aren’t the ones posing a danger to society, despite Joe Biden’s former Department of “Justice” insisting they were.
Violent abortion fundamentalists are the major threat, after all. But under the new presidential administration, justice is once again on the side of the just.
Patrick Brice, a 27-year old-punk was found guilty on February 6 of two counts of second-degree assault and two counts of reckless endangerment for assaulting two elderly pro-life Christians in May of 2023.

The victims, Mark Crosy and Richard Schaefer, were 73 and 84 at the time, reports Catholic Review. They had been peacefully praying, passing out pro-life materials and holding up signs on a sidewalk outside a Planned Parenthood business in Baltimore when Brice came up to Schaefer to accost him.

“I was thinking this is going nowhere and I should go back to work,” Schaefer told the jury - that is, until he said he found himself on the ground.
“I couldn’t quite figure out what happened,” he said on the stand.
Brice had knocked the 84-year-old over a flower pot into a brick wall, damaging the right side of his face and sending him to the Shock Trauma unit, writes the Catholic Review. He was even temporarily partially blinded, adds LifeNews. His injuries included a fractured orbital frontal plate and bruising on his body.
When Crosby rushed over to help his partner, the thug pushed him down, then punched and kicked him in the face. Crosby was scraped up everywhere and suffered an injured shoulder.
Brice fled the scene, but was shortly identified as the main suspect by police from a video that caught his crimes.
His lawyer, Assistant Public Defender Matthew Connell, figured he could get Brice off easy by calling his victims “old white men” who view themselves as “religious martyrs” and say “the most vile things” to women.
But arguing that it's okay for your defendant to pummel people depending on their race and gender typically doesn’t hold up in court.
That doozy of a defense scored Brice up to 20 years in prison.
