As Bonchie observed on the time:
It’s additionally value mentioning that had this been an abortion clinic being attacked, it will have been nationwide information. Because it stands, it’s a neighborhood information story as a result of it doesn’t match the mainstream media’s narrative. However make no mistake, that is home terrorism. Will the FBI put out an announcement and acknowledge the risks of left-wing radicalism? Don’t maintain your breath.
That was sage recommendation as only a few repercussions appeared to comply with these assaults. In actual fact, when Legal professional Basic Merrick Garland testified earlier than the Senate Judiciary Committee originally of March, he gave a jaw-droppingly ridiculous response to questioning by Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) relating to the disparate approach wherein the DOJ seemed to be dealing with the prosecution of pro-life activists versus pro-abortion activists.
Throughout their alternate, Lee questioned Garland as to why, with over 80 reported assaults on being pregnant facilities, the DOJ had up to now solely charged two people in relation to these assaults. Garland’s response (minus the numerous “uhs” and “ums” peppering his feedback)?
I’ll say you’re fairly proper — there are a lot of prosecutions extra with respect to the blocking of the abortion facilities, however that’s usually as a result of they’re — these actions are taken with pictures on the time, throughout the daylight, and seeing the one who did it’s fairly simple. Those that are attacking the being pregnant useful resource facilities — which is a horrid factor to do — are doing this at night time, at midnight.
We now have put full sources on this — we’ve got…put rewards out for this, the Justice Division and the FBI have made outreach to Catholic and different organizations to ask for his or her assist in figuring out the people who find themselves doing this. We’ll prosecute each case towards a being pregnant useful resource middle that we will make, however these people who find themselves doing this are intelligent and are doing it in secret, and I’m satisfied that the FBI is…looking for them with urgency.
Right here’s a short clip of that mind-boggling response to an inexpensive query to actually provide the taste of it:
.@BasedMikeLee: “DOJ has introduced prices towards 34 people for blocking entry to…abortion clinics…there have been over 81 reported assaults on being pregnant facilities…and solely 2 people have been charged!”

As I famous on the time:
[I]t’s relatively alarming to be taught that the preeminent regulation enforcement company in America apparently finds itself stymied by these “intelligent” criminals who elect to wreak their havoc below the quilt of night time (versus these Dumb Doras* who overtly protest in daylight on behalf of unborn youngsters), even whereas they freely claim responsibility for his or her acts. I’m a bit of involved the AG’s testimony right this moment would possibly give a few of these additional wily prison kinds concepts about perpetrating their misdeeds after hours.
Nicely, excellent news! Plainly since Garland’s embarrassingly poor look earlier than the Senate, the DOJ has managed to find a offender within the assault on Wisconsin Household Motion.
In line with the DOJ’s release, Hridindu Sankar Roychowdhury, 29, of Madison, is charged with one rely of making an attempt to trigger harm by way of hearth or an explosive, and was arrested earlier on Tuesday in Boston.
“In line with the criticism, Mr. Roychowdhury used an incendiary machine in violation of federal regulation in connection along with his efforts to terrorize and intimidate a personal group,” Assistant Legal professional Basic Matthew G. Olsen of the Justice Division’s Nationwide Safety Division mentioned in an announcement. “I commend the dedication and professionalism of regulation enforcement personnel who labored exhaustively to make sure that justice is served.”
“Violence is rarely a suitable approach for anybody to specific their views or their disagreement,” Assistant Director Robert R. Wells of the FBI’s Counterterrorism Division additionally mentioned within the assertion. “At this time’s arrest demonstrates the FBI’s dedication to vigorously pursue these chargeable for this harmful assault and others throughout the nation, and to carry them accountable for his or her prison actions.”
Per the DOJ’s statement, regulation enforcement collected DNA from the scene throughout the investigation.
In March 2023, regulation enforcement recognized Roychowdhury as a attainable suspect. Native cops noticed Roychowdhury eliminate meals in a public trash can; the officers recovered the leftover meals and associated objects, and regulation enforcement collected DNA from the meals. On March 17, 2023, regulation enforcement suggested {that a} forensic biologist examined the DNA proof recovered from the assault scene and in contrast it to the DNA collected from the meals contents. The forensic biologist discovered the 2 samples matched and certain have been the identical particular person.
In March 2023, Roychowdhury travelled from Madison, Wisconsin, to Portland, Maine, and he bought a one-way ticket from Boston to Guatemala Metropolis, departing this morning. Regulation enforcement arrested Roychowdhury at Boston Logan Worldwide Airport. Roychowdhury could have a detention listening to in Boston.
Whereas I congratulate the DOJ on figuring out a suspect and need them the most effective in bringing him to justice, I’ve two observations so as to add. 1) The assault on Wisconsin Household Motion occurred on Could 8, 2022, some 10 months in the past. Merrick Garland’s above-referenced testimony occurred on March 1, 2023. Then, (someday) in March 2023, Roychowdhury was recognized as a attainable suspect and his DNA was subsequently obtained and examined towards the scene pattern. We, in fact, are usually not aware of how Roychowdhury was recognized as a attainable suspect or what investigation went on within the intervening months, however I’m simply going to notice that the timing is…fascinating. 2) Roychowdhury was apprehended whereas making an attempt to shuffle off to Guatemala Metropolis, presumably in an effort to evade arrest. We’re not privy (at the very least from the DOJ assertion) as to whether there had been any contact between regulation enforcement and Roychowdhury previous to his try to go away the nation, however one thing or somebody seems to have triggered him to imagine he is likely to be about to get pinched.
In any occasion, it’s good to see some justice (lastly) being meted out for this form of assault.
