3 Arrested in Connection to Racist Flyers Posted Around East Boston

When officers reached out to obtain the man’s identification card, the man slapped the officer’s hand away. The man was subsequently arrested.

Weak.

Police then found brass knuckles and a knife in the possession of the suspect's two friends, who were then arrested, as well.

Sad that they have to bring protection just to exercise their 1st Amendment rights. They just weren't ready for the right kind of thugs.

I don’t know about brass knuckles, but is it illegal to carry a knife?

It’s possible that the men were posting the fliers in unauthorized places, such as telephone poles, but if the left were doing it, some judge would rule that people have a Constitutional right to post flyers on telephone poles.

“Sad that they have to bring protection just to exercise their 1st Amendment rights.”

Nothing in the article connects them to hanging the posters.

One more easily infers they were exercising their “first amendment rights” with spray cans, not “hanging posters”.

Big Media believes association is causation when necessary.
