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.”

What is racist about those fliers? I refuse to even discuss the issue further with them until they answer that.
For too long, we give Leftists a pass on their flawed fundamental premises and end up arguing details with them, which simply obscures the real issue most of the time.
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.
So the First Amendment isn’t valid in Boston?
They were harassed by the police because of it. The cops pushed them psychologically until one of them reacted in a way they could be arrested.

FAKE NEWS
The phrase White Supremacy or White Nationalist is the give away that it is Fake News.
Creating a public nuisance? Telling the truth?
I hope they do that too. Problem is, it will be the people of Boston actually paying for it.
Thanks for nothing, Romney, you stupid clown.
I can see the holier-than-thou expression on his face.
He slapped an ocifer’s hand. Oh, nose!
Perhaps because most everything in MA is against the 'law' ?
The article accuses these men and their fliers of "racism." I don't see any mention of race at all in the phrase that caused so much outrage.
Participation Trophy ?
I don’t know about brass knuckles, but is it illegal to carry a knife?
Probably AntiFa
What they are saying is “Legal Residentist.”
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.
If leftists were marching down the street with clenched fists and anti-whitey signs, would the police intervene because they upset me? Would they ask for the people’s ID’s and search them?
This is a false arrest and the police need to be dismissed for this. There was no crime committed, and that is not racist.
