Terrorized Pro-Life Activist who was mauled by Democrat SWAT teams, along with his children, for peacefully protesting at abortion clinics testifies

[Ghost of a Rider]

Deal with the fact that anti abortion fanatics are out there that get into people's faces, trying to prevent them from entering a clinic and spewing their stupid Jesus shit. If you don't like abortion, don't get one and leave other people alone.

You’re just not getting it, are you?

Unless you’re saying that abortion protesters have no right to protest then nothing you’ve said has anything to do with what I’m talking about.

Answer this question: Do U.S. citizens have the right to protest?

I never said they don't have the right to protest. They don't have the right to prevent somebody from entering a clinic and that's what Vaughn was charged with and that's what a jury found him guilty of doing. End of story

I never said they don't have the right to protest.

But you did say he should have minded his own business, yes? If he has the right to protest then his being there is a moot point, correct?

This was never in dispute.

Damn right the Jesus freak should have minded his own business.

If he has the right to protest then this is moot and irrelevant.

 

[Mr. Friscus]

You have the patience of a saint, explaining basic logic to an angry woke abortion activist…

They’re likely too emotional to consider anything beyond their desires and their rage

Are you retarded?

 

[initforme]

Abortion is in the hands of state voters. This is the most moral decision possible. Perhaps he doesn't know this.

 

[DStar777]

Vaughn and others obstructed access to a clinic.

I'm sure they physically prevented people from entering the building? Oh wait, no, they didn't.

They stood on the sidewalk, and activists walked into them and said "I'm being obstructed!!!"

He should have minded his own business.

You claim he obstructed access but it seems he did not. What did he do wrong?

 

[Arlette]

He was found guilty of doing it.

 

[DStar777]

He was found guilty of doing it.

So he and 5 others were, indeed, found guilty:

Six Defendants Convicted of Federal Civil Rights Conspiracy and Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act Offenses for Obstructing Access to Reproductive Health Services in Tennessee

A federal jury convicted six defendants today of federal civil rights offenses arising out of their blockade of a reproductive health care clinic in Mount Juliet, Tennessee, on March 5, 2021. The defendants were each convicted of a felony conspiracy against rights and a Freedom of Access to...

Fair enough.

The Face Act is on the books and he was charged under it. What's the big deal?

He was a non violent protestor. It wasn't necessary to treat him as if he was armed and dangerous. Why couldn't police officers simply show up and take him into custody. The SWAT team wasn't necessary.

How are the cops supposed to know that?

On what basis do the cops think he's so dangerous that a SWAT team is needed to apprehend him?

You gotta ask the cops

You gotta ask the cops

According to evidence presented at trial, Chester Gallagher, Heather Idoni, Calvin Zastrow, Coleman Boyd, Paul Vaughn and Dennis Green engaged in a conspiracy to prevent the clinic employees from providing, and patients from receiving, reproductive health services, a civil right secured by the FACE Act. As part of the conspiracy, Idoni, Zastrow, Boyd and Green traveled to Tennessee from other states to participate in the clinic blockade, and Gallagher and Vaughn stalled the Mount Juliet Police Department through negotiations that Gallagher referred to as a delay tactic. Evidence at trial further proved that the defendants violated the FACE Act by using physical obstruction to interfere with the clinic’s employees and a patient because the clinic was providing, and the patient sought, reproductive health services.

Based on that description, nothing justifies sending a SWAT team to apprehend him.

This guy's house was raided with armed SWAT teams, guns raised, his kids and family terrorized.. for what? There are thousands of BLM rioters who assaulted police and committed violent crimes who were released immediately from jail (we know their info!)

There seems to be a double standard at play.

The whole country is armed to the teeth and apparently that's how we like it.

So why don't we charge the lefty twats who block roads with the same draconian law, or is only abortion your sacrament?

The FACE Act doesn't cover road blocks. That's why.

 

[martybegan]

The FACE act is unconstitutional drivel.

Typical lefties, making their protests more equal than others.

Lots of anti choice people avoid getting charged when they protest.
