Hunh? He was peacefully protesting (un)Planned Parenthood and was attacked. He defended himself and somehow he’s a terrorist?!? Baumgartner is a little out there but he’s a well known anti-abortion activist with a well organized support group and not a threat to anyone.

Janice, you’re a little irrational calling everyone that owns a gun a terrorist. Guessing you’re a liberal?

We’re supposed to trust a Republican hack who was the former press secretary to report the truth??? LOL. You cite unknown sources without quotes that say he tried to run away, meanwhile other legitimate news outlets quote witnesses who say no such thing. I’m sure you’re completely trustworthy.

The nation is fed up with your party making everything more expensive, selling out to billionaires, turning the country into a police state, and NOW protecting a pedophile president who raped children. We don’t know who did what in this event, but no one trusts your ilk.

You’re selling Will short, he’s not just a Republican hack who was the former press secretary, he also pled guilty to criminal domestic violence

You might want to watch the video for yourself slick. He clearly ran away and tried using less than lethal tools to discourage the assailant.

The shooting was (accurately stated) at Middleburg Plaza in Forest Drive in Columbia, SC. (un)Planned Parenthood’s facility is on the back side of the building which has a courtyard or breezeway separating the buildings, the incident was on the Forest Drive side of the complex. Baumgartner was protesting (un)PP at the complex where (un)PP has its offices. Semantics.

Ben, since you have already made up your mind about what really happened AND think all of that about this website, what exactly are you doing here? I am sincerely trying to figure out why you are here. Please enlighten me.

The video gives a pretty good play of what happened. Guy used pepper spray first but “victim” kept coming. Nowhere to retreat. It’s called stand your ground. He’s lucky to live. Maybe next time he’ll think about it.

I don’t see what you see here.

The victims hands were in his pockets when he was pepper sprayed. It seems like there were two escalations that were both initiated by Baumgartner.

You can’t just go around pepper spraying people because they’re arguing with you. That’s assault.

Yep, dude had his hands in his pockets and was not a threat when he got sprayed. Baumgartner set this whole thing into motion.

There is a sizable portion of this blog’s viewership that is here for the lulz. I would say majority but this is SC after all.

Man with hands in his pockets was ambushed and assaulted with pepper spray. When he defended himself and chased his assailant down, he was gang tackled, held in a headlock and when he stood up, he was shot by Mark Baumgartner who only gets the credit because he got the shot off before Karen did.

This was a clear assassination attempt. He didnt retreat. He ran away like a coward. Look at the photos…he wet himself.

Give a clown a gun and what do you expect?
