6 times conservatives were killed, shot or beaten by radical leftists over their beliefs
4. Joan Jacobson
On Sept. 20, 2022, as she campaigned against a constitutional amendment to establish a right to abortion in Michigan, 84-year-old Joan Jacobson was shot in the shoulder by 74-year-old Richard Harvey. Harvey, who was charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, careless discharge causing injury and reckless use of a firearm in connection with the attack, maintained that the shooting was accidental.
Harvey opened fire as Jacobson was unsuccessfully trying to convince his wife to oppose the amendment. Jacobson drove herself to the police station, where she was then transported to the emergency room. Jacobson survived the shooting.
