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."

How many were paid protesters?

If those arrested are hired actors, then it’s time to file a massive law suits against the companies and individuals.

Liberals close their ears and scream “nahnah I can’t hear you” when REAL thugs attack, and desperately scramble to declare Moslems perfectly innocent. Yet somehow, “right-wing’ groups almost non-existent that do next to nothing in violence are more threatening than any of these real beasts.

If 9/11 isn’t enough to teach this country, nothing is.

Simple. The left doesn’t believe in free speech.

Neither of the groups that got involved in fighting in Charlottesville believes in free speech — at least not for the others.

Good. Arresting Antifa is a positive benefit to society.

Many permitted demonstrators were wearing pro Trump/MAGA shirts from before and after the election.

One of the scheduled speakers was a Libertarian Congressional candidate.


EXCELLENT! We need more of these kinds of people and a lot less of the Charlottesville crowd.

You should mention that the Dems infiltrated Trump rallies with agitators as well - leading to one rally even being canceled.

The left has had their way for far too long; they forgot what it was like to have a government that wasn’t pushing their agenda.

Every liberal city is like that; white NIMBY liberals keep the blacks at arms length. Remember the hoopla when BJ Clinton opened an office in Harlem? Have you ever seen a photo of him in Harlem? When the Clintons moved to NY so she could run for a “safe” senate seat; they moved to one of the whitest, wealthiest areas in NY state.

I honestly don’t understand how normal people would live in a city; some might have to work there, but I couldn’t stand living somewhere groups like this could congregate so quickly.
