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."

Astounding that these protestors have *no* reference of history.

And what *history* they think they know, they are hell-bent in rewriting it. Morons.

We have got to take a stand to end this alt-left takeover.

Maybe they are getting tired of being assaulted by Antifa while they’re trying to make up lies.

When I flipped through channels, all I saw were helo/drone shots from far above the demonstrations.

No on the ground film, until the gathering dispersed. This may be the way to go, so these yahoos can’t *perform* to the cameras ...I think this is a big part of the problem. [If a tree falls in the forest...]

We need details. How many arrested were AntiFa-reedom and how many were permitted protestors?

Zero arrests of permitted, event originating demonstrators.

27 arrests of counter "demonstrators" (Antifa, thugs and vandals), but ONLY if the target was a Police Officer.

...thousands of counterprotesters,...MIT, Harvard, Boston U. and what other institutions of "higher" education right there - they should have had fifty thousand counterprotesters at least.....

It was already a cesspool in ‘08 when these vermin elected one of their own community agitators to the highest public office of the land. It’s just now the media has told them to come out to save the democracy. Funny since we are intentionally a republic so as not to be ruled by the mob.

It would seem the plan is to ‘indulge’ them for the summer.

I wanna do exactly the opposite.

“Black people who were never slaves are fighting white people who were never Nazis over a confederate statue erected by Democrats, because Democrats can’t stand their own history anymore and somehow, at the end, it’s Trump’s fault.”

Can’t wait to the left loses more in 2018. They’ve been acting like this for a few years and I believe it helped contribute to DJT as President. Bannon is correct in hoping the left and dems keep talking race. It’s a losing strategy.

It ain’t over till the fat lady sings and Rosie is not in town. Just listening to the scanner. Command asking for all available wagons and all officers to bring their gas masks.

Think the Antifa Youts are just starting.
