Dr. Coleman Boyd Indicted in Abortion Protest

 The Justice Department issued the following statement. The indictment is posted below.

A federal indictment unsealed today charges eleven individuals with violations of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, announced U.S. Attorney Mark H. Wildasin, for the Middle District of Tennessee and Kristen M. Clarke, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division. 

The indictment, returned on Monday by a federal grand jury sitting in Nashville, charges the following seven individuals with conspiracy against rights secured by the FACE Act, and committing FACE Act violations:

Chester Gallagher, 73, of Lebanon, Tennessee;  Heather Idoni, 58; Calvin Zastrow, 57; and Caroline Davis, 24; all of Michigan; Coleman Boyd, 51, of Bolton, Mississippi; Dennis Green, 56, of Cumberland, Virginia; and Paul Vaughn, 55, of Centerville, Tennessee. 

The indictment also charges the following individuals with committing FACE Act violations:  Eva Edl, 87, of Aiken South Carolina; Eva Zastro, 24, of Dover, Arkansas; James Zastro, 25, of Eldon, Missouri; and Paul Place, 24, of Centerville, Tennessee.  All defendants will have appearances scheduled in U.S. District Court in Nashville at a later date. 

The indictment alleges that, beginning in February 2021, Chester Gallagher utilized social media to promote a series of anti-abortion events scheduled for March 4-7, 2021, in the Nashville area.  Other co-conspirators then utilized Facebook to coordinate travel and logistics and to identify other participants for the blockade.  On March 4, 2021, Coleman Boyd and Chester Gallager advertised the blockade of the Carafem Health Center Clinic, in Mount Juliet, Tennessee, which was planned for the following day.  In his social media post, Gallagher referred to the blockade as a “rescue.” Boyd also began a Facebook livestream broadcast of the clinic blockade at 7:45 a.m. on March 5, 2021.  This livestream broadcast was titled, in part, “Mt. Juliet, TN Rescue March 5, 2021,” and livestreamed the blockade event as his coconspirators and others blocked the clinic’s entry doors and prevented a patient and an employee from entering.  The livestream also broadcast members of the group attempting to engage a patient and her companion as Boyd told his livestream audience that the patient was a “mom coming to kill her baby.”

The indictment further alleges that on March 5, 2021, the 11 individuals, aided and abetted by one another, used force and physical obstruction to injure, intimidate, and interfere with employees of the clinic and a patient who was seeking reproductive health services. 

If convicted, those charged with conspiracy face up to 11 years in prison and fines of up to $250,000.  Others face up to one year in prison for the misdemeanor offense and fines of up to $10,000. 

This case was investigated by the FBI and is being prosecuted by the Civil Rights Coordinator of the U.S. Attorney’s Office and trial Attorneys of the Department’s Civil Rights Division. 

An indictment is merely an accusation.  All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Planned Parenthood has a lot of power and influence on the Xiden DOJ and DNC.

This makes my day and it would yours too if you and your family had ever been on the receiving end of his loud mouth through his megaphone. And not at an pro or anti abortion event, but at a country music concert in Brandon and events in Fondren. He is a horrible, hateful individual who torments people, including children, all the while acting as if he is relaying a message from God. He is anything but a Christian.

Maybe more actual facts will emerge once defendant's attorneys speak publicly.

How many fire bombers and vandals were charged in committing arson, etc., against pro-motherhood offices? Zero.

What I always found interesting is how Coleman presented himself as a prophet that had done no wrong and could not forgive those that had. I knew Coleman in High School and college. Coleman was/is far from the man of God he presents. I wonder if Coleman ever remembers the event that night at Traceway park in 1987 and has mercy on people who do wrong?

Meanwhile 300+ Antifa firebombers, looters, and skull smashers were released from custody without charges, during the Fentanyl Floyd protests in 2020!

@5:24 PM - Those were the "mostly peaceful" protests, right?

I would support Antifa over Coleman Boyd any day

The Biden administration is using its modern day Gestapo to perform early morning raids in an effort to intimidate and go after its political enemies. How dare they exercise their first amendment right to free speech and right to assemble in protest of something they feel strongly about - this case abortion! These things matter much more than whatever your opinion of abortion or whomever this Dr. Boyd fellow is.

I don’t care for either side, but they do go after and arrest left wing nut jobs. You just have to go looking and dig around for them. The media doesn’t like to them on blast like they do right wing nut jobs.

That brand of Christianity doesn’t appeal to me. These folks have a savior complex. You could prevent a lot more abortions by not being assholes.

But at least he doesn't murder babies by dismembering them.

Maybe so, but you don't send 20 agents to arrest non-violent offenders, no matter what the made up charges are.

You, my friend, need to read a fucking book if you think this is anything like the Gestapo.

The feds are the private police force for the murdering Planned Parenthood, which is an oxymoron similar to "The 2022 bi-partisan bla bla bla bill."

I have read more than one book, so what would you call them, October 14, 2022 at 8:38 AM?

Stand on a sidewalk and yell = terrorist
Throw firebombs and yell = mostly peaceful protest

I’m not 8:38 but I would call the secret police of the current leftist deep-state the Stasi much like the secret police of the GDR (East Germany) since the Gestapo of the NSDAP were actually nationalists.

The enforcement arm of the DC cathedral is in a panic. Amicable divorce from these degenerates, please.

October 14, 2022 at 11:09 AM, I can see it that way. Thank you.

@10:16am

You’ve not watched the live that Boyd posted, I guess?

They indeed stand on sidewalks and yell/megaphone to folks who were participating in legal procedures. So many videos of them @ The Pink House in Jackson doing just that. It’s harrassment.

But in the video from Mt Joliet, TN, that is publicly posted, they are inside a building and blocking entry and harassing people. Whether you agree or disagree with abortion, you can clearly see their wrongdoing.

If I were Boyd, I would be pretty concerned not only about THESE federal charges, but also about some lingering accusations floating out there like someone mentioned above in comments on 10/13 @5:13pm. It was 1987 but people remember it.

7:46 have you not realized these ghouls are dismembering babies? And you decry peaceful protests? I don't care if they are loud with bad breath, they aren't burning down buildings or killing people.

Anonymous said...

Wrong, 7:31. These extremists do burn down buildings and assassinate people they disagree with. Now, true, many pro-life people peacefully exercise their First Amendment right to protest. However, many, including Dr. Boyd, cross way over the line in to illegal activities. He will get to reflect on his illegal ways while he serves time in a federal prison for the TN indictment. And he will lose his medical license for a felony conviction.

Since when does a doctor lose his license for a felony conviction?

Anonymous said...

re: commenter from October 13, 2022 at 5:13 PM That’s a good thing to wonder. Also - wonder what explanation is given to family members reading here? If whatever explained leaves them less than horrified, they’ve been lied to.

"Since when does a doctor lose his license for a felony conviction? "

Look up "moral turpitude". The state medical license board can use that as justification for cancelling a license.

Boyd may be in some more trouble. Seems like he disregarded the conditions of his release and was back protesting at a clinic in VA in 12/2022.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell.
