Police in Boston arrested three men they say posted fliers promoting white supremacy in East Boston including some posters that read, Keep America American. Report any and all illegal aliens. They are not immigrants, they are criminals.
The three men were identified by police as 26-year-old Matthew Wolf of Lowell; 20-year-old Christopher Hood of Malden; and 18-year-old Tylar Larson of Rochester, New York. They were all arrested on either assault or weapons charges... While on directed patrol in the area of the above-mentioned location due to recent reports of a group causing a disturbance while hanging posters which were upsetting some of the residents, officers observed a group of males wearing face masks, police said. Officers approached the group, one of which had been carrying a can of spray paint, in an attempt to speak with them.

Hardly racist or supremacist.
So close to 1984.
War is peace
freedom is slavery
ignorance is strength
What if they were posting in an Irish neighborhood, would that be racist?
What if they were people of color, posting in an Irish neighborhood?
Diversity is bad. Give me unity.
Dat's Racist!
They mention other fliers, but don’t specify (or I missed it)
The one mentioned did not seem racist to me. Wonder what the other ones said.
Honestly, if they were spraypainting surfaces that are not theirs, I would be fine with police intervention. I view that as vandalism, but with the caveat that leftists are disciplined for it as well.
Also, I find it very hard to side with people who have masks on their faces. I have a major issue with that.
It’s a lousy article, because it’s hard to tell exactly what the men were doing. The article mentions “racist” posters, but the only poster that is quoted is NOT racist. And they mention the can of spray paint, but do not mention if it was used to spray graffiti. And they do not mention where the posters were being hung, whether it was or was not legal to be hanging them. And it’s not clear whether they were brandishing their “weapons,” but merely had them concealed.
No tears for them. They chose the kind of "leadership" that results in travesties like that.
They were all arrested on either assault or weapons charges...
The partisan media shill swilled the DNC talking points, that the flyers were "racist".
Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted and you create a nation of law-breakers and then you cash in on guilt.

This is the internet, you aren’t supposed to care about any of those details.

Keep America American. Report any and all illegal aliens. They are not immigrants, they are criminals.
While I don’t believe the term “racist” has any fixed meaning, what about the above would meet any definition of that word at all?
When someone is offended by others exercising their right to free speech the cops should tell the complainers this is America, read the constitution..
I have seen signs along the highway stating ‘Hate doesn’t live here’.
Where I have seen them makes me want to ‘ask’ someone on their thoughts of PDJT or Confederate statues or names for schools and highways.
Have a feeling that if above questions were asked ‘properly’ one would find out that ‘HATE’ apparently DOES live there....
OTOH, people are calling police and getting their panties in a wad because sacks of ‘hate fliers’ have been left alongside the road..
Sounds like someone got paid to distribute and took the money and dumped the sacks????
