National Men's March, a peaceful event founded by Catholic show host Jim Havens and retired Catholic priest Stephen Imbarrato, rallied against abortion and promote personhood in Boston outside Planned Parenthood on Nov. 16. (Related: Pro-life group's HQ in Rome attacked by LGBT activists TWICE in 10 days.)
However, over 350 counter-protestors clad in colorful costumes and wigs from a group known as "Clown March" met the pro-life demonstrators who were dressed in suits and holding rosaries.
House Minority Whip Katherine Clark (D-MA)'s child, who was born a woman but now identifies as "Jared" Dowell, was one of the hundreds of counter-protestors who incited a violent riot.
According to a Boston Police report, tensions flared as the two groups converged, with shouting, jeering and physical confrontations intensifying. The counter-protesters even blocked the path of the National Men's March, which prompted officers to issue multiple orders to disperse.
"Superintendent Cahill ordered the large group several times to end their unlawful, riotous, tumultuous assembly," the Boston Police Department's report read. However, the report added that "the crowd refused all orders and continued their tumultuous behavior," so officers moved to clear a path for the march.
"This unruly crowd collectively began pushing back at officers, elevating their disorderly and unlawful activity to assaultive," the police report further reads. "This crowd created an extremely hazardous and offensive condition for officers and the individuals of the Men's Rights Group who were attempting to pass by. After an exhaustive effort, officers were able to eventually gain enough control to allow the march to proceed through Kenmore Square and towards their destination."
But despite all the attempts to de-escalate the situation without arrests, officers resorted to detaining individuals who "refused to peacefully disperse" and engaged in "assaultive behavior.
Dowell, along with 17 other counter-protestors, were arrested and arraigned on Dec. 2 on charges of interfering with lawful assembly and disorderly conduct.
Dowell previously involved in another violent protest
This is not the first time Dowell was involved in politically-motivated behavior that resulted in an arrest.
In January 2023, Dowell was arrested for assaulting a police officer. Dowell struck Boston Police Officer Daniel Roca in the face during an anti-police protest at the Parkman Bandstand on Boston Common. Dowell was arrested on the spot and charged with assault and battery on a police officer and vandalizing a monument.
At that time, the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office – which handles cases in Boston – dismissed the case after Dowell completed 30 hours of community service, reimbursed the city for cleaning the graffiti Dowell helped spray at the monument during the protest, wrote an apology letter to the police officer struck and went to mandated individual therapy.
Dowell had also completed a community-based program and stayed away from the Boston Common for a year.
