IU Student Steals, Vandalizes Signs as University Officials Look On





from Mark Harrington, President and Founder
Created Equal


Columbus, OH – Oct 10, 2018 – In the first week of Created Equal’s Road Trip for Life tour to more than 40 schools, our team has already faced increased violence toward property and persons. The most shocking from Week One of the trip came at Indiana University (IU, Bloomington), where a student first stole our signs before returning to vandalize and destroy others showing pictures of aborted babies. Perhaps more disturbing than the student’s actions was the failure of IU administration officials on site to intervene. Watch the shocking footage!

Video: IU Administration Fails to Stop Student Stealing, Vandalizing Pro-life Signs


IU had assigned officials to the site of Created Equal’s outreach. They were present when the student first stole our signs, placing them into his car. Before the student could drive off, however, Samuel Riley, Created Equal’s Field Captain, removed the signs from the student’s car, leaving the door open. The first IU official in the video says, "I’ll close it for you," and shuts the door, enabling the perpetrator to speed away.

But he soon returns with spray paint. He then walks from sign to sign, spray painting and breaking signs, violently throwing bungee cords and metal rods from our equipment. Samuel and his team remove signs from his reach and attempt to stand in front of them, while another IU administration official, speaking to the vandal, says, "Sir, I’d like to encourage you to stop." She makes no actual attempts to stop him. Samuel had to call police and chase the perpetrator himself because of the administration’s failure to intervene.


Watch a video demonstrating the increase of attacks on peaceful pro-life activists.


Before taking off on his bike, the student confirms the pro-abortion motivation for his actions. Speaking to Sam, he says, "You want women to be child-rearing surrogates that don’t have any rights. And I f***ing hate you."

But the video doesn’t end with the student speeding away on his bike. Watch all the way through to see this vandal humbled by the law.

The identity of the student and charges he faces will be forthcoming. We are waiting for law enforcement to release the official police report. Stay tuned for updates.
