The Boston Free Speech Rally Thread

[The Hammer]

From what I can tell right now, the rally went off without much fanfare. Now that it's over, Antifa and the police are clashing for failure to disperse.

I haven' been able to watch on TV, and am only reading a few tweets about what went on.

Like I said, am only reading tweets, and there have been a few stating that only about 50 people showed up in support of free speech, and thousands showed up to protest against free speech. Does anyone know if this is true?

That's the sense I'm getting. The original free speech rally didn't end up being that big, and they left early apparently.

Now the tens of thousands of Antifa/Communist types are left to themselves.

I guess that begs the question...with no violence to incite at the original rally, will they proceed to create unrest all by themselves? That would show everyone their true colors, I think...

When I last checked they said they were "apparently counter-demonstrators".

Ok, thanks.

Thanks, Hammer. From what I've read......The counter protesters outnumbered the free speech rallyers by thousands. The police shut down the rally early out of fear for the safety of the smaller group. The counter protesters wouldn't disperse, and began clashing with the police.

One witness said four or five arrests were made at one location when counter-demonstrators tried to prevent some of the other side from leaving.

I just came inside, it seems all the 'Fun' is over. I think it's great that Antifa got Trolled. This should be repeated many times; let Antifa fight the cops+-
