Patrick Brice, a 28-year-old Baltimore man who assaulted two pro-life activists outside a Planned Parenthood clinic, was given little more than a slap on the wrist for his crime.
Instead of jail time, Brice was sentenced to a year of home detention and three years of probation, even though one of his victims reportedly suffered permanent eye damage in a May 2023 attack caught on video.
Baltimore Circuit Judge Yvette M. Bryant rebuffed prosecutors’ calls for a 10-year sentence after Brice was found guilty of two counts of second-degree assault and reckless endangerment, according to Fox News.
“What about my rights and my well-being?” victim Mark Crosby shouted at the judge as she left the courtroom — Crosby was 73 years old when he was assaulted.

Instead, he will only serve one year of home detention.

“This was not a minor altercation between two parties with differing views on abortion. It was a vicious, targeted assault on two senior citizens whose only ‘offense’ was praying for expectant mothers and offering life-affirming alternatives to abortion,” Tom Brejcha, the President and Chief Counsel of the conservative law firm Thomas More Society, said in a statement.
“One of the victims was knocked unconscious. The other suffered broken facial bones and a lifelong eye impairment. This was an act of cowardice and cruelty, and sheer mayhem. This crime deserves far more serious consequences than a ‘get out of jail free’ card and a one-year home detention that amounts to nothing more than a slap on the wrist,” he added.
Social media users were up in arms over another outrageous ruling by a liberal activist judge — here’s a quick sampling of some of the responses to the story, as seen on Elon Musk’s free speech platform X:
Hey @TheJusticeDept and @AGPamBondi how is this not hate crime?! Also, if it is hate crime, why aren’t you pursuing Federal charges and making sure the suspect spends a long time being rehabilitated? Time to restore justice or things will continue being JUST IS.

If he had shoved a climate activist holding a sign, he’d be rotting in federal prison.
But beat up two elderly pro-lifers?
