Marathon Pundit: Thomas More Society files hate crime charge against abortion clinic proprietor and pal

On Friday. the Thomas More Society filed a hate crime charge in an amended federal civil complaint against Keith A. Sterkeson and abortion clinic proprietor Wayne Webster in Rockford, Illinois as part of an ongoing court battle.

Eric Nelson and Kevin Rilott, two pro-lifers, were picketing on a public sidewalk in front of Rockford's Northern Illinois Women's Center--an abortion clinic.

Sterkeson verbally assaulted the two protesters, and called Nelson the "n" word and a faggot, and tossed this bit of nastiness:

You are a degenerate and empty skull, thinking Jesus is going to save you.

The accused is quite menacing, as you'll in this NOT-SAFE-FOR WORK video:

In this video, Sterkeson calls Nelson "a f*cking butt baby." Once again, NSFW:

The amended federal civil complaint alleges that Webster monitors police radio calls and warns Sterkeson to leave the scene when Nelson and Rilott call the police, aiding and abetting Sterkeson.
