Wow. In Boston, a free speech rally was held by people for… well… free speech. The mayor had asked that radical activists stay away. So, instead 15,000 of them showed up. The line was two miles long. I understand the police handled it very well and it was mostly peaceful. But when you have communists, Antifa and Black Lives Matter stirring it up, someone is going to get arrested. Around 20 people were taken into custody. They clashed with police. By comparison, there were relatively few there for the rally… I guess fear of reprisal from leftist thugs kept them away.
500 police flooded the streets of Boston and every one of them was needed. If it had been me, I would have called out the National Guard over this. They call them anti-fascist activists, but these are the real fascists out there and their numbers are staggering. They massively outnumbered the small number of attendees at the rally who were huddled together into a small group. The real violence started after they left by the way. The attendees left the rally about an hour after it started. Police had to escort the right-wing speakers from the enclosed area and took them away from the park. If they hadn’t… the mob would have possibly killed them. I’m not kidding.
From the Daily Mail:
Fifteen-thousand anti-fascist protesters marched through the streets of Boston in protest against right-wing activists hosting a ‘free speech’ rally on Saturday.
Some of the counter-protesters clashed with police after the largely peaceful march through the city that ended when the handful of activists who attended the free speech rally left.
President Trump was quick to respond to the demonstration, unlike his response to Charlottesville last week, and tweeted out: ‘Looks like many anti-police agitators in Boston. Police are looking tough and smart! Thank you.’
Out of the thousands in attendance, around 20 were arrested following members of the Black Lives Matter movement gathering at the Common, where a Confederate flag was burned and some pounded on the sides of a police vehicle.
The city mayor had pleaded for counter-protesters to stay away, saying their presence would draw more attention to the far-right activists and could result in violence.
However, opponents of the right-wing took over the event, chanting anti-Nazi slogans and waving signs condemning white nationalism, in order to stand against what they thought could have turned into a platform for racist propaganda.
The small right-wing group huddled in a circle at the park as barricades fenced them off from the thousands upon thousands of counter-protesters who came to drown out their event.
President Trump commended the police officers for being tough and doing their jobs well. His tweet was, “Looks like many anti-police agitators in Boston. Police are looking tough and smart! Thank you.” 20 were arrested following members of the Black Lives Matter movement gathering at the Common, where a Confederate flag was burned and some pounded on the sides of a police vehicle. Those are very brave police officers.
Opponents of the right-wing took over the event, chanting anti-Nazi slogans and waving signs condemning white nationalism, in order to stand against what they thought could have turned into a platform for racist propaganda… which of course it didn’t and was never intended to. A man with a Trump cap and sign literally had to run for his life and jump a fence as hundreds pursued him. This isn’t America anymore… this is mob-think and if it keeps up, a lot of people are going to die. A black-clad counter-protester also grabbed an American flag out of an elderly woman’s hands and she stumbled and fell to the ground. Nice… these asshats don’t care who they hurt.
These are cowardly thugs looking to get their violence on and destroy this country and our freedoms. Boston is a preview of what is coming. Welcome to the American Spring… welcome to Weimar America.
