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."

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

I used to chastise those in my care for that.

I was a zookeeper.

It’s nice to know that thousands of people will turn out to protest Freedom of Speech. I suppose next week thousands will turnout to burn books, newspapers, magazines, to show their opposition to Freedom of the Press.

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

Absolutely correct, assault on an LEO.

Get their attention, cuff 'em and THROW them in the paddy wagon.

Ann Hibbins was hung on Boston Common, on charges of witchcraft, June 19, 1656. Horrors. A white woman.

Difference is Austin is flaming leftist only on the surface. We are the most segregated city there is, and cops enforce it.

Sounds like a liberal city, where police "ASK" criminals things. Did they also ask them to use polite language?

Now it is 40,000?! It was 15,000 earlier. At this rate it will be 100,000 tonight and a million in the morning.

There was zero instigation from the scheduled speakers because they disbanded by “mutual agreement” with the police before they were even able to speak. Mob rule wins again as the first amendment suffers another crushing defeat! All brought to you by democrats.

But if Antifa is peaceful, as they say they are except when provoked, and if there was zero instigation from the free speech guys, why were the police attacked with bottles of urine? And why was it necessary to arrest 27 “counter-protesters”?

I have a feeling that no one in the MSM is going to ask these questions, or any of the other several dozen questions that should be asked about Antifa, at any time this weekend.

So the police don’t care if the rioters throw bottles, rocks and urine at the free speech protesters? They only care when it is thrown at them. No surprise.

REALLY crazy coincidence.... I became friends with one of Cotton Mather”s GGGGGGG grandsons a month ago. Very interesting bloodline. Cotton murdered witches and his Centex descendants ran down the Comanche like they were field mice. Scottish clan with persistent cotton-haired progeny to this day.

Puts the like to the idea that Charlottesville couldn’t have been controlled.
