They succeeded, in the Florida panhandle.
Also, the clinic - under a different name now - has been a victim of terrorism three times before, with the first instance coming in 1984.
In 1984, two Pensacola men bombed the facility and two doctors' offices where abortions were provided.
Matthew Goldsby and James Simmons were convicted of the Christmas Day bombings and sentenced to 10 years but served only about half of their terms.
In 1994, protester Paul Hill killed John Britton, a doctor who provided abortions, and James Barrett, a volunteer who escorted patients, as they arrived in the clinic parking lot. Barrett's wife, June, also was wounded.
Fifteen months before the murders of Britton and Barrett, Pensacola resident Michael Griffin killed Dr. David Gunn at another Pensacola abortion clinic.
Fire marshals say that there is no cause for the fire. Obviously, they have not paid attention to the radicalized pro-life movement in the Pensacola metro area. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that pro-life terrorism is the cause of the fire.
This is all the more reason why there needs to be a ban on protesting within one mile of clinics that specializes in abortion services.
This is domestic terrorism and prosecutors in Pensacola, Tallahassee and Washington should treat this case like they treat foreign-born terrorism cases.
