One week after violent protests rattled Charlottesville, Virginia, a scheduled free speech rally in Boston today was met with thousands of counterprotesters, but the day went off mostly smoothly, police said, with 27 arrests for assaults on police Officers, but few injuries.

.... After the free speech event has concluded, counterprotesters still swarmed Boston this afternoon, and riot police also responded in the city.

... Amid the confrontations, Boston police tweeted that individuals are asked to "refrain from throwing urine, bottles and other harmful projectiles at our officers."

However, it is perfectly acceptable to throw anything at pro Trump and Conservative demonstrators, there will be no arrests for that.

Why does this have to be said? They should crack a few heads.

Nothing makes ones argument and confirms ones mental stability like throwing urine.

The cradle of a great republic is now a cesspool of rats, snowflakes, communists, anarchists, the mentally ill the ill informed and deviant.

Time to build a wall along the Hudson to keep the commies bottled up in Red England.

Before one of these they should show officers films of the 1968 Chicago Democratic National Convention.

We need details. How many arrested were AntiFa-reedom and how many were permitted protestors?

That italicized excerpt you posted says it all.

They don’t give a flying eff what is thrown at people practicing their freedom of speech and freedom of assembly.

That is why I didn’t go.

This time they were throwing rocks and bottles of urine at Boston cops.

Big time mistake.

“27 arrests for assaults on police Officers”

Throw the book at them.

Do you think a dotted line on a map is going to keep liberalism out of your state?

Look at Charlottesville in VA.

Look at Austin in TX.

We need to, as conservatives, fight together to preserve our rights. And that includes Texans and Floridians battling liberalism not only in their own states, but in New England and California.

It’s not a free speech event. Period.

The drive-bys seem sad and disappointed that there were no split heads and maiming to film.

BBC just reported that “the free speech demonstration was organized by the extreme right, many of whom wore Donald Trump hats”. The counterdemonstrators, many of whom wore masks and hoodies, arrived from high-crime, black ghetto Roxbury, were the good guys, of course.

Virginia is the cradle of America; Jamestown - 1607.
Muslims planted their “sword” in VA some 30+ years ago.

Nixon and Kissinger sealed the deal.
