Forced-Abortion Parents Aren’t Stupid – They’re Racists!

Zeroboss

Nicholas and Lola KampfNew information on the case of Nicholas and Lola Kampf, the parents accused of kidnapping their 19-year-old daughter Katelyn and attempting to coerce her into an abortion. According to the arresting sheriff, the Kampfs thought they had to take extreme measures, not because the father of their daughter’s child is in jail, but because he’s…well…of the African American persuasion. Which is just further proof that being a well-off, Lexus-driving pair of real estate developers doesn’t prevent you from being a vile human being. Hell, it may even guarantee it. (HAAAA! Just kidding, real estate developers – you know I love you guys. Please don’t rezone my neighborhood.)

For the record, the parents’ attorney deny that they ever made race an issue. Of course, the attorney also insists that they had a "cordial" discussion with their daughter…even though the sheriff’s office recovered passports, a rifle and live ammo from their vehicle. Given that, I’m taking the parents’ protestations with a grain of salt. So is the judge overseeing their case, who’s placed a $100,000 bail on each of them, and ordered them to surrender their passports.

For a great blogospheric round-up of reaction to this story, check out Adam’s Blog. (And yes, Adam, you’re right – I didn’t link to any bad-conservative stories to back up my assertion. I retract that statement. I think we can both agree, however, that this case has zero to do with "abortion rights", and everything to do with two whacked-out control freaks.)
