I have an idea of the kind of things said and those things would not go over well posted in CF. I do not know the specifics of what was said because such things are impolite and not typically repeatable in any but the more vulgar media outlets.
You don't know what was said. And you have no source to support your claim that what was said was "insulting and abusive". Gotcha.

Ah, but I do have a source. I have what the father said about what was said to his son. I just don't have the actual words said. They will come out in the trial. But I still won't be able to repeat them here.

You do? You have an article that quotes the father claiming something? Let's see it.
UPDATE: FBI arrest of Pennsylvania pro-life leader called 'horrendous stunt'

New Details In The Biden DOJ Targeting Of Pro-Life Activist, Father Of Seven Mark Houck | The Daily Wire

There is apparently video of the whole thing. So I expect you can see this abortion escort in full living color some day soon.

I actually hope the thing goes to trial as soon as possible and that the whole thing gets a bunch of publicity. I expect the Justice Department will have some egg on it's face by the time it's all over.

I've scoured your sources and there are no statements from Mark Houck. There are no statements from any eyewitness accounts either.

So what specifically are you using as evidence for your claim that BL was "insulting and abusing" the boy?

Thanks for the entertainment but I'm going to bed.

That is Houck’s story but it doesn’t make much sense. The man was escorting patients so how did he manage to get in anyone’s face? Protesters are legally required to keep their distance. Why, if the story is accurate, was the boy’s face in the old guy’s way? Houck reportedly assaulted him twice in the same day. What corroboration is there for Houck’s account? The old man was hospitalized as a result of Houck’s assault on him.
I’m surprised that you would assault an old man rather than remove your boy from the situation. That’s not admirable.
where exactly it the evidence for what you have posted, what is your post based on?

While the father has every legal right to take his child into what is highly likely to be a dangerous/contentious situation, and no one should accost the child even when they have been brought into an inappropriate venue, I would love to remain naive and believe most fathers would prefer to protect their children by not putting in what they very well know could be harms way to begin with.
If there was a genuine concern about the well being of children in this nation we would not have any debate about the immorality of abortion.

According to his family, some 20 armed FBI agents in 15 vehicles raided the residence of Houck, who leads a nonprofit group that provides sidewalk counseling at abortion clinics in Philadelphia,

More like sidewalk harassment.

There was no justification to use twenty armed agents. Just like there was no justification to shackle or handcuff conservatives or use all of those armed agents at Trump's residence. We need to hold the individuals accountable who authorized these Stassi tactics.

I would be curious to see how Christians and the law would react to having a similar “counseling” gauntlet set up at church entrances.

Pretty negatively, that would be my guess.

Twenty armed agents! This is where our taxpayer money is going to.

The wages twenty FBI agents earn in their full careers and retirement isn't even a rounding error in the federal budget, never mind just the hours involved in this case.

Do you have any information on the extent of his ‘medical attention’?
If this document circulating online is authentic, the victim sought medical attention a few days after the incident which involved his right hand, arm, and hip.
