Long Time Anti-abortion Activist, Jim Pouillon Killed

Jim Pouillon was a familiar face in Owosso. He was one of those "in your face" protestors. We often saw him outside of city hall with a giant poster of an aborted baby. I didn't know him personally. He apparently had experienced trauma through abortion in his own family which turned him into a true radical. He was non-violent, but certainly willing to protest with very graphic pictures. He spent literally thousands of hours protesting in all sorts of different places. He was shot and killed by a 33-year-old Owosso resident this morning. Why, no one knows at this point. The person who shot him also apparently killed the owner of a gravel pit near Owosso. Sad day.
