Police: Man stunk up the protest zone at Planned Parenthood

EVERETT — An Everett police officer handcuffed and cited a 77-year-old man last month for allegedly pouring fish sauce on pavement near the Planned Parenthood clinic.

Groups opposing and supporting reproductive rights have regularly demonstrated near the health care facility on 32nd Street and Hoyt Avenue. Clashes and complaints earlier this year prompted the city to implement time, place and manner restrictions that pushed protesters and counter-protesters across the street and away from the sidewalk adjacent to the clinic. That lasted until the city lifted the rules in late May.

Officer Jay Taylor has been trying to keep the peace at the weekly demonstrations. In the past two months, “an offensive odor” near the sidewalk where the groups demonstrate was often smelled, Taylor wrote in the report.

Still images from Planned Parenthood security video recorded around 6:30 a.m. Aug. 11 reportedly showed “an older Asian male” in a red Honda SUV drive to the site, spread something from a container on the sidewalk and leave in the SUV. Taylor recognized the man from previous demonstrations.

There’s a PP clinic right next to my vets office. Protests are frequent but sporadic. when they are out I always honk, smile and give them the middle finger. We were back twice within a week and they were gone. Others do the same.

Now that’s not to say the most ardent protesters will be discouraged, but these self righteous old biddys were intimated and left
