Thin Orange Line: The Police Get Involved

[neadods]

This post is probably going to be buried in the post-Who tsunami, but I had to get it off my chest.

Last week there were apparently protesters shipped to the clinic from out of state. Violent, racist ones according to another escort who was there, ones who'd been trying to egg a fight.

But this is the week that things got physical. I've been saying for a while that I was there when Eeyore showed up and I'd be there when she got hauled off in handcuffs. It came perilously close to that today when she charged into the parking lot, targeting a couple of clients.

Nobody got hurt and it seems that nobody's getting sued either. Also on the plus side, two people came up to thank us for the job we do and one of them asked for membership information.

But the quiet clinic is not quiet anymore. And I never expected to use the pen and paper in my car to have to write down a statement while everything was fresh in case it was ever needed legally later.

Y'all are lucky. We're dealing with a few places, a lot of fanatics, and even more people who are willing to whisper in their ears and then say "Who me? Just because I called him Tiller the Baby Killer for years doesn't mean I was suggesting people should shoot him!"

I'm quite shaken. It turned out well today, but she was being egged on and she's not very stable. Sooner or later...
