right a major meltdown in downtown
Columbus the display that set this woman
off we'll hear from her in just a moment
the first Fox 28 star Morgan is live to
show us what started it all tarah well
y'all yalanda pro-life group created
equal stages protests at least twice a
week in front of the Statehouse they are
used to heated discussions but today was
the first time things got out of hand
she says her name is Victoria Duran on
this day taking out not one but two
signs as she unleashes her anger on the
pro-life group created equal the first
young man is a summer intern I camera in
my face
training director Seth Dreyer is behind
the camera she physically pushed me my
arms she did um later on we were
standing by a bus as she pushed me into
the bus it was stationary created equal
knows the abortion debate is heated
their sidewalk protests are protected by
the First Amendment what they won't do
is give up or fight back we're smart
about it we don't want people getting
hurt you know we try to you know behave
in a way that we thinks christ-like and
and respecting people's opinions whether
they agree or not it's protocol for
created equal to switch on cameras for
situations just like this and get the
police in the picture was alarm from up
the safety of myself and my team and I
was also concerned of what was going
through the woman's mind who stopped
something they won't forget what can
forgive we believe in forgiveness
you know if she were to say I'm really
sorry and and and told me that she was
sorry for what she did and she sound you
know truthful about it you know we would
even consider dropping the charges
and tonight I did catch up with Victoria
Duran for her side of the story the
First Amendment protects them from
government interference it doesn't
protect them from from people just
basically telling them they're idiots
but you assaulted them assault I
wouldn't necessarily say shoving someone
aside and telling them to keep the
camera out of my face as assault you
think it's okay to push people I think
it's I believe that I had the right to
tell them that they did not have my
consent to film me Harrington says Duran
is charged with assault and criminal
damaging Duran wouldn't discuss her
legal troubles tonight that says she has
no regrets live downtown to our Morgan
