Vandals Burn and Deface Crosses of AntiAbortion Exhibit
However, the display was brutally vandalized shortly after 12 a.m. Monday, presumably by abortion activists. Some three thousand crosses were burned, stolen or broken.
According to The Daily Reveille, Mary Higdon, president of LSU Students for Life reported: "over the weekend, people stole and burned clusters of crosses, spelled out 'pro-choice' in broken crosses, spray-painted part of the exhibit and placed hangers - an old symbol of illegal abortion - on the grass."
Richard Mahoney, president of St. Mary and St. Joseph Family Memorial Foundation, who loaned the crosses, said the vandals destroyed more than $9,000 worth of private property. "Defacing a religious symbol is a hate crime," he said. "This is not just a couple of broken crosses... This is a symbol of our Faith. They spit on Christ, His Church and His people."
Over the past month, reports The Washington Times, similar pro-life exhibits were vandalized at Oregon State University, at the University of Pennsylvania and in Redding, California. "These acts against God remind me of the early Christian persecution in Rome," said TFP Student Action director John Ritchie.
