Father's Rights Activist shot by police in Seattle

Yesterday, Father's Rights Activist and longtime participator in the Anti-Peonage movement Perry Manley was killed by police during an incident in which he brought an unusable hand grenade into the downtown Seattle federal courthouse. The hand grenade had been drilled out making it harmless, and Perry had his living will on him at the time he was killed. He also had some court papers on him at the time, but police have so far chosen not to tell us what they were. Story here.



Exactly what Perry had intended this protest to mean is unknown, although this article suggests that he was denied access to his children, had $14,000 in child support taken from him after his children were adults, and recently discovered that he was not allowed to attend his daughter's wedding. My condolences to Perry's friends and family.
