Dr. James M. Pouillon, a Grand Rapids podiatrist who had not spoken to his father since 2001, criticized him and the attention he’s getting in a post on a story about Harlan Drake, the man accused of killing Pouillon’s father, James L. Pouillon, on Sept. 11.
The whole nation is debating if Pouillon was a martyr. Here is what the younger Pouillon had to say in an mlive.com post on mlive.com on Sept. 13:
“It will be impossible for some to believe, but my dad really didn’t care about aborton.
He did this to stalk, harass, terrorize, scream at, threaten, frighten, and verbally abuse women. He had a pathologic hatred of women: his mom, my mom, everyone.
After my mom finally left him and he lost his favorite punching bag the violence and abuse that was always contained within our 4 walls was unleased on the people of Owosso.
My dad used the pro-life movement and 1st Amendments foundations to defend him, support him, and enable him. He fooled them all.
He was at the high shool because my niece was there, and female family members were always his favorite targets.
Again, my dad didn’t care about abortion. He wanted to hurt people, upset people. He enjoyed making people suffer.
His goal was to be shot on a sidewalk. His goal was to make someone so angry, to make them feel so terrorized, to make them feel the only way they could make him stop was to kill him.
His pro-life stance was the most perfect crime I personally know of. He hid behind the 1st Amendment and was allowed to stalk, terrorise, harass, be obsene, ect. These things are crimes. Offending people isn’t a crime, and having different political views isn’t a crime, but he committed several crimes over the last 20 years and got away with it.
Yes I really am his oldest son. Owosso is now rid of a mad man.”
#11 Ben…
A little obsessive, no?
The state of the R party today is probably defined by the experience of the anti-abortion movement. Same people, same tactics. Same intolerance of facts and others’ opinions.
And a safe place where they can rant unabated about any nutball topic they care to rant about. Welcome to the world of popularized nutball rants. Thanks to our sponsor, Fox News.
#5 I concur. Well said. #13 You’re wrong. Being pro-choice means supporting a women’s right to choose what she does with her body regardless of whether one agrees with that choice or not.
Guy sounds like my dad.
Glad he went in 85. Saved the world from more hell.

Sounds like they had a bad father son relationship.
I do belive that the slain anti-abortion protester did believe in the cause.
“You know” when you dedicate your life to any given single issue and you go out of your way trying to force your opinion/position on other people, you are a bit nuts.
Thats why I won’t go out on the streets and protest anything with my friends who are dedicated to “whatever.” They even get upset with me when I ask: “Do you think you capture the entire debate with that slogan?”
To marylamb and others who want to pretend this misanthrope, and many of the other protesters, are not just this warped, who else would do such things? We should all accept the “truth” and here just recognize the cause is totalitarian in nature and that you don’t understand what personal freedom really means at all.
You don’t DESERVE to live in a free country.

There’s that terrible word again… Believe.
So he was a liberal trying to give pro-life a bad name…
I wonder if he was on the seiu payroll.
According to others of his family…he was devoted to the cause…and some said his rocky past should not detract from his more recent behavior…which was lawful protest against killing babies.

His daughter said her father believed that as a Christian he should stand up for his faith, even at the cost of being persecuted.
“He died out there doing what he believed in,” 26-year-old Mary Jo Pouillon of Owosso said at a memorial service Wednesday.
#31–Thanks Alfie. The Daughter’s Statement is not inconsistent with the Son’s Statement.
The Holy Ghost made him shove his wife into a piano?
This guy is suitable icon material?
#29 Alfred1
You’re use of periods…in your conversation…is most interesting. Are you abridging…your own words or cutting…and pasting from another source?
#32 Clearly we don’t have enough first hand information to form a judgment of him or his killer.
His son uses phrases that indicate his thoughts are most conjecture, not predicated upon direct statements of his father.
Its not like his dad said “I don’t care about abortion”; He attributes motives to his dad, that might be wrong…according to his daughter, they are.
But who knows…
I agree with President Obama’sstatement…violence by either side is deplorable.
no one likes abortions, but I’ve yet to see an anti-DUI protester holding disgusting pictures of decapitated motorists, or anti-war protesters holding pics of body parts scattered all over Baghdad’s streets.
#35 If you search the web, I believe you will find precisely that…
I vaguely recall reports of precisely those things.
I don’t consider graphic pictures offensive, the act is offensive, the picture is merely communicating that.
#36 so would it be okay if an atheist stood in front a church with children going in and out, and help up a sign blaming God with pictues of miscarriages?
34 AlfredEMurderingTerrorist,
“In a 1992 interview with The Flint Journal, the activist acknowledged years of marital problems, including a fight where he pushed his wife into a piano. Three days after the fight, he told the Journal that “the Holy Ghost came on me.”"
Oh yeah. He’s a real nice guy. And look. Like you, he blamed God for his maniacal beliefs!
Abortion is a women’s health issue. You’re false belief in Assyrian pagan law is moot. You don’t like something: too bad. That’s what “living free” is all about. You can impose your beliefs on yourself until you die.
#38–Named. You’ve gone from AlfredETerrorist to AlfredEMurderingTerrorist? Seems like your anger is escalating while Alfie (((((HEY ALFIE!!!)))) is going in the other direction: “…violence by either side is deplorable.” So, Alfie is a little inconsistent on that whole right to life issue. Hah, hah.
Any “good” christian/anything leads on moral issues by setting examples==not by getting into other people’s faces.
The story should be: One crazy, violent guy shot another crazy, violent guy. Son confirms it.
