Michigan pro-choice vandals caught spray-painting church

A Catholic Church in Michigan was vandalized with spray paint by three vandals last weekend.

Security footage shows three vandals dressed in black approach the Church of the Resurrection in Lansing, Michigan, on foot.

“Our hope and our prayer is that those who did this to our parish church are not just brought to justice but are also brought to conversion, brought to an encounter with the love of Jesus, brought to a realization that anger corrodes the soul while life in Christ brings only freedom, peace and healing. That’s our hope. That’s our prayer,” parish pastor Fr. Steve Mattson said Wednesday.

The individuals can be seen scribbling slogans in red paint on the sidewalk. The phrases “abort the court” and “death to Christian nationalism” were written, among others.

The incident in Michigan marks the latest in an ongoing string of attacks on houses of worship. 

Not a single arrest has been made in more than a dozen attacks on pro-life organizations across the country claimed by left-wing pro-abortion group Jane’s Revenge.

Jane’s Revenge has claimed responsibility for at least 18 arson and vandalism attacks on crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) and other faith-based organizations throughout the US since the May 2 leak of the Supreme Court draft opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade.

The vandalizing comes as there has been an uptick in attacks on house of worship.

The FBI first told Fox News Digital in June that it had launched an investigation into the targeted vandalism. 

The FBI said in a Sept. 7 statement it was still investigating the “series of attacks and threats targeting pregnancy resource centers, faith-based organizations and reproductive health clinics across the country, as well as to judicial buildings, including the U.S. Supreme Court.” But it made no mention of Jane’s Revenge specifically.

The seeming lack of enthusiasm in investigating the acts of arson and vandalism has inspired outrage among conservatives.

Republicans in Congress sent a letter to the FBI on Wednesday demanding transparency and data on the bureau’s enforcement of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act.

The Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act prohibits the threat or use of physical force to intimidate a person seeking an abortion. It also outlaws damage or destruction to abortion facilities, pregnancy centers and houses of worship.

The Republicans doubled down on their accusation of intentionally lopsided enforcement of the FACE Act, accusing the FBI of failing to pursue a single violation committed against a house of worship or pro-life pregnancy center.

Rapper Notorious B.I.G’s mural vandalized in NYC

A mural honoring legendary rapper Notorious B.I.G was vandalized in Brooklyn overnight on Friday, according to local reports.

Police are searching for the vandal responsible for the heinous act that took place on the corner of St. James Place and Fulton Street in Clinton Hill, the area where the rapper, whose real name is Christopher Wallace, grew up.

The mural of the ‘Hypnotize’ artist was tagged with dark red spray paint with “East Coast” across Wallace’s face.

The Notorious B.I.G mural was originally created by Vincent Ballentine to celebrate the East Coast rapper’s 25th anniversary of his death.

Artist Vincent Ballentine created the art piece 2019 and hangs on the wall of a Beauty World salon where Biggie spent much of his youth, according to Complex.

“Oh the disrespect, Ballentine posted on Instagram, showing the destruction. “The disrespect is real. Damn shame. Why did they do that?”

Ballentine told CBS News he vowed to fix the mural that he initially made to celebrate the East Coast rapper’s 25th anniversary of his death.

“So for this to happen, people are coming by saying ‘Damn, they did it dirty.’ It’s bigger than me. It’s big period, I don’t know what else to say,” Ballentine told the outlet.

Notorious B.I.G died on March 9, 1997 when he was killed in a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles. He was 24 years old.

New York City mayor Eric Adams condemned the vandalism in an NY1 News interview, saying the artwork was going to get “cleaned up and repaired.”

“Biggie is a hero to our community, and that’s darn sure not how you spread love the Brooklyn way, as Biggie would say,” Adams said. “We’re going to look into that and make sure that mural is cleaned up and repaired because this has a place there and it remains there, and we want to find the person responsible.”
