News from Kansas

I tells ya, some days it’s hard to be a satirist. So I’ll just hang this out for you smartypantses to comment on.

News from the great state of Kansas:

An abortion protester who claims Dr. George Tiller intentionally hit him with his vehicle outside the clinic has sued the Wichita doctor in a small claims case that has attracted the attention of two court television programs.

Loyal BP readers will remember George Tiller, the persecuted abortion provider.

Mark Gietzen, the director of Kansas Coalition for Life, is seeking $4,000 for his injuries for an April 2006 incident at the edge of the driveway into the Women’s Health Care Services. Two court television programs — Judge Judy and Judge Joe Brown — have written Gietzen asking him to allow the case to be arbitrated on their shows.

Tiller’s defense attorney, Lee Thompson, said Friday he had not seen Gietzen’s filing.

“It isn’t even worth commenting on,” Thompson said. “Anything Mr. Gietzen does is not worth commenting on.”

No criminal charges were filed after police viewed clinic surveillance video of the incident. . . . After watching the video from clinic security cameras, police told the men that the footage showed that they had time to get out of Tiller’s way and did not do so in a timely manner, according to court papers.

    “‘He hit me with his vehicle intentionally — and it wasn’t like an accident,’ Gietzen said.”

    ‘Twasn’t like deliberately standing in front of Tiller’s car was an accident, either, the whiney cry-baby. He should build himself a bridge and get over it, already!

    “What’s the matter with Kansas???”

    Kansas grows their fetus fetishists so dumb that they don’t even know enough to get out of the pathway of a moving vehicle? Even deer can figure that out! Sad, very sad.
