Yes, I have been the Vice President of Lifeline.
Everyone is welcome to google my name to see how much I was involved.
I tended to do most of the research for the group, and though I am not currently serving on their exec, I assist in an advisory capacity when requested by the current president.
You can even check up on the current president. The first name is no coincidence.
Not according to Ryan Marshall, the AMS president at the time, who testified that at the trial. You may not have believed your actions to be violent, but again, put the shoe on the other foot. Suppose I wanted to try to break your white pro-choice banners? Would you not construe such an act as violent?
So shutter us away in a corner where no one will see them? That's very fair.
Also, where would we put them? We couldn't go in the AMS building, now could we, where all the other clubs go to hold meetings of this sort.
Why rip down the posters, unless you want to prevent people from seeing them? Why try to evict all students who dare to come close to the signs? Why try to cover up the display with your white banners, so much so, that the campus security has to enforce a barrier to make sure people see our display.
Why do you campaign to keep GAP off our campus?
Your sole goal has been to prevent people from seeing these pictures, because the pictures are effective in changing people's beliefs on abortion.
Now, I have no problems with your counterprotests, but when you bring a bullhorn to shout us down, how are you respecting our rights to be on campus, and to put our display where other people will see them.
And by the way, we put up warning signs, so that people who do not want to see the display do not have to walk by them, as a courtesy.
So we are not forcing the pictures on anyone.

Tearing down posters is not violence.
You folks should have put your huge, graphic images in a room somewhere where students could go and look at them if they wanted to.
Also, where would we put them? We couldn't go in the AMS building, now could we, where all the other clubs go to hold meetings of this sort.
Our side would have picketed to be sure, but we wouldn't have prevented anyone from seeing them.
