SUDBURY, ON, September 26, 2001 (LSN.ca) – A pro-life demonstration outside a Sudbury high school on Monday morning was halted by an irate man who, according to one of the demonstrators, pushed several female protesters, grabbed their signs, ripped them up and then stomped on them. Pro-life demonstrator Chris Selmys told the Sudbury Star that the man kept repeating the line “it’s disgusting, it’s disgusting”.

Greater Sudbury Police Sgt. Loretta Ronchin told LifeSite that the local-area man was being confrontational and was taken by police into custody “until he calmed down.” Ronchin said the man was informed what would happen if he continued his actions and was released without criminal charges. Ronchin said the large pictures used in the demonstrations “are not well received” in the area.

The demonstration is part of the Show The Truth – High School Mission, which began Monday and ends Friday at high schools in Sudbury, Sturgeon Falls and North Bay.
