Under Reported: "Terrorist Cell That Attacked Medical Facilities Sentenced!"

From the Feminist Wire's "Woman Sentenced to Six Years for Attempted Clinic Bombing:"

A Louisiana woman was sentenced yesterday to six years in prison for leaving an incendiary device outside of a clinic in Shreveport, Louisiana last December. Patricia Hughes, 25, pleaded guilty last month to leaving an ignited Molotov cocktail bomb near the entrance of the Hope Medical Group for Women. The bomb consisted of a bottle filled with gasoline, a rag, and a candle. It caused minimal damage to the clinic and did not interrupt the clinic's services.

"Terrorist Cell That Attacked Medical Facilities Sentenced!" scream the headlines. Oh wait, they don't. In fact, few have reported this at all. (Hughes' boyfriend just turned 19-year-old boyfriend was found guilty for his role in the attack -- driving the car -- hence the use of "cell.") Christa-terrorists? No. No nonsense labels (the way the government provides for so-called "eco-terrorists.")

Girl meets (younger) Boy. Girl likes Boy. Boy likes Girl. They hate the world. He drives, she tosses the lit cocktail bomb. And for those two wacky kids in love? "The prosecution prosecutors agreed to disregard a prior burglary conviction that would have increased her sentence."

Hear about it? No? Medical clinics (and caregivers) have long been targeted with attacks. Bully Boy didn't have much to say on this. (Maybe because Sam Donaldson wouldn't shut up about Mel Goodman?) Maybe you heard of it, but we think it was one of the most under reported stories of last week.
