Thousands Expected to Attend Boston Protests to Right-Wing Rally
NBCNews ^ | 8/18/17 | Phil McCausland

Interest in two major protests opposed to Saturday’s right-wing “free speech” assembly in a Boston park has swelled in the aftermath of the deadly white nationalist rally in Virginia last weekend.

The “Boston Free Speech Rally” — organized by a coalition of groups calling themselves "libertarian" and "conservative" — has been on the books since late July and the protests were organized not long after by ANSWER Coalition Boston and the local chapter of Black Lives Matter (BLM).

But since a group of neo-Nazis, white supremacists and Ku Klux Klan members took to the streets (sic) in Charlottesville, Virginia — ostensibly to protest of the removal of a Confederate statue — the expected attendance by protesters has grown substantially.

“It went from a few hundred to well over 1,000 to now roughly 3,000 pretty quickly,” said ANSWER Coalition Boston organizer Nino Brown. “There are about 10,000 interested in our event, according to Facebook.”

A BLM-organized demonstration called “Fight Supremacy” experienced the same growth, raising more than $20,000 by Thursday night and suddenly expecting more than 10,000 attendees.

Protesting against free speech.

Only in post-Obama America.

The police will not protect them.

If they are going to go through with it, they better make sure there are MANY able bodied men in the rally and carrying blackjacks wouldn’t be a bad idea.

Boston votes 81% for Hillary. This is an obvious set up.

I think the federal agents posing undercover as leftist agitators, and on the opposing side as “right wing” types, will not be easy to spot.

But maybe something about them will stand out.

One thing’s for sure, it’s really getting old how these federal agencies manipulate citizens while thinking themselves unaccountable for their dirty deeds.

The mayor is a real lefty and have you ever seen the current police commissioner. The guy looks like a 98 lb. weakling with a ferret face.

Thousands are now expected to show and the Mayor expects this to be a limited, 2-hour event? I’m not seeing it.

Wow, the communist propaganda department at NBC is really pushing the whole “Americans are right-wing fascist racists” narrative pretty hard.

Same with all of the other MSM outlets.

I think this reeks of desperation from the socialist-democrats.

President Trump and the DOJ must be over the target right now, especially after that federal indictment of the Pakistan Awan clan.

I wonder if carpet-bombing 50 or so castles in Western Europe wouldn’t discourage this phase of the ‘resistance’.

i dont like it guys.

Sounds like a setup for a beating.

Like I said, they better go in numbers and prepared or not go at all.

If they’re Italians and Irish from there, they are tough SOBs and will be fine.

But unfortunately, a lot of those folks still vote dem, I think.

The Italians on Staten Island are WAY conservative, like me.

i don’t know about Boston. Still think they’re union guys.

And even the UNION italians out here voted for Trump!!

Don’t attend.

There will be violence, and staged protests. There is no upside to this.

***ostensibly to protest of the removal of a Confederate statue***

Alfred Hitchcock would call this “the McGuffin” something irrelevant to rally around.
See Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals.
