A man in Wisconsin pleaded guilty this week to the 2022 firebombing of a pro-life organization.
Hridindu Sankar Roychowdhury, 30, signed a plea agreement on November 20, admitting to attacking the Madison headquarters of Wisconsin Family Action.
Roychowdhury signed the agreement in exchange for the recommendation he not receive a maximum punishment of 20 years behind bars.
The 30-year-old firebombed the headhquarters early in the morning on May 8, 2022, just days after the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade leaked.
The outside of the building was spray-painted with, “if abortions aren’t safe then you aren’t either,” as well as a large “A” and the number “1312”a derogatory acronym that numerically stands for “ACAB” (All Cops are Bastards).
According to officials, Roychowdhury was charged with one count of attempting to cause damage by means of fire or an explosive, which carries a mandatory minimum penalty of five years and a maximum of 20 years in prison.
Law enforcement reportedly identified Roychowdhury as a possible suspect in March 2023 after recovering some of his DNA from food wrappers in a public trash can.
“Roychowdhury’s crime was not the only incident that Wisconsin Family Action endured, either,” LifeSite reported.
“Following the attack, the group received a series of angry and threatening voicemails from pro-abortion radicals, including ‘Burn, little Jesus freaks’ and other death wishes, a declaration that the arsonist was a ‘true American patriot,’ obscenities, general expressions of contempt, and a suggestion that pro-abortion violence was some sort of logical progression from abortion activists unsuccessfully ‘trying for years to deal with this nonviolently.”
