I’ll never forget the time my girlfriend came back from a planned parenthood in tears because 50 or so women were shouting baby killer and whore at her. The best part is she wasn’t even getting an abortion. She was getting prenatal vitamins for a healthier pregnancy.

There’s a private clinic in the UK near where I live that my friend wanted to go to for fertility treatment. The clinic also offered abortion services so naturally she was called every name under the sun.

One guy actually grabbed her so I pinned him down told him she was receiving fertility treatment to have a fucking family of her own and they all shut up and packed pretty sharpish. They were back two weeks later when she was going for treatment so me and my friends boyfriend accompanied her. The ending to that scenario was 1000x worse.

I’m dying to know the 1000x worse part. (But I get it if you don’t wanna tell)

Same thing happened except the boyfriend pinned the guy up on the wall and threatened to wire his mouth shut while explaining what’s happening. I laughed when he said “we are literally doing the fucking opposite”. The protesters weren’t having any of it and tried to pull him off, big mistake he’s 6’4’’ and built like a brick shithouse and toppled all of them in a single push.

Then, one of the protesters broke in and accused everyone of being murderers proceeding to throw fake blood at everyone. My friends bf was soaked and he’s in the army suffering from PTSD - he was gone and knocked the guy out cold.

He then proceeded to slash the tyres of the van the protesters were using and made sure all of them got a share of the fake blood too.

Meanwhile, my friend was receiving the treatment and was completely blindsided when she came out of the office to find it caked in fake blood and her boyfriend wanting to throttle everyone.

He went AWOL but found him down the road head locking the main protester who thought it was a good idea to call him a “murdering nonce”. Again, knocked out cold.

He got a suspended sentence given the actions which caused his PTSD trigger and was ordered to seek help which he was already getting.

The protester was sentenced for 6-months after breaking his suspended sentence from a previous charge.

I wonder if there is some kind of general legal fund for "I got in trouble for hitting Nazis" - I would certainly donate

That was a scary yet satisfying story.

Hope your mate gets continued support for his PTSD.

I doubt these people have brain cells, trying to fight off a 6'4" guy is always going to end well

They don't think that anyone will have the balls to actually fight.
