No injuries and few arrests. I sincerely hope ALL protesters take note of how it worked today. ------------------

 Just like the women's march, that some mocked in January, only I don't recall there being any arrests that day. I was an unpaid, peaceful protester/marcher, and it felt so good to be there, with everyone. IP: Logged |

Trump, in his usual jump the gun attitude here:Trump cites "anti-police agitators," in Boston, then thanks crowds for protesting "hate" The mayor said it was a great event and 99% came in peace. This man needs to listen and think before he shoots his big mouth off. ------------------

White supremacists were attacking officers last week, and weren't arrested. "funny" that. 27 out of 20,000-40,000 is damned good. Great, actually. Why can't you just be happy that Boston came out against hate? They came out against white supremacists. So what's your problem? There were no arrests on the day of the women's march. That was one of my best days this year. IP: Logged |

There will always be that 1% who agitate and stoke the fires of unrest. Same as in Lindaland. They do not ruin it for all. I count that few as nothing and the protest was a blessing for Boston and America. ------------------

Yeah, real "Peaceful" bunch of Black Lives Matter and ANTIFA thugs."A total of 33 arrests were made Saturday, mostly from disorderly conduct and a few assaults on police officers, the Boston Police Department announced. Police Commissioner William Evans said at a news conference this afternoon that some urine-filled bottles were thrown at officers, and police indicated on Twitter that some demonstrators were throwing rocks at police." Real "peaceful"! Right! Check! IP: Logged |

Trump was exactly right. There were anti police agitators and most of the protesters united against hate. Although, the less than 100 people who were there to support free speech were surrounded and not allowed to move freely.IP: Logged |

It's said a lie can circle the earth 3 times before the truth gets out of the gate. By the time the truth catches up to the lie, the left and their idiot political activists in the press have already shifted to their next lie. IP: Logged |

Juni, 33 lawbreaking thugs was all they caught in the act. That doesn't mean 33 lawbreaking thugs were all that were there. IP: Logged |

Last year a man was shot and critically wounded outside a Milo gig. Although he was one of the "lefties" he had been breaking up fights all evening. The initial assumption, by Milo (who made capital out of not backing down to "them") and police that it was a "leftie" who had shot him, it was an Asian American Milo fan who turned himself in. He claimed it was an accident. Still later after security vids were checked it turned out that he had been starting fights thruout the gathering (and bragging about going there for a fought online beforehand) and that the shooting was anything but accidentalIts true.. the lies usually come out first.. which is why jumping to condemn people before full facts are known is foolishness. How many arrests do you think there normally are in Boston on a Saturday? If the lefties came to make trouble they did a really poor job of it. Are we going to see this as an excuse for even more police presence not just at demos but everywhere? Tens of thousands marched peacefully. Why is that not the most noticed fact? IP: Logged |

It was only as peaceful as it was because there were over 44,000 on the left an less than 100 on the right. Most of them by simple logistics were nowhere near the free speechers, which is probably why they attacked nearby cops. One attack on a police officer is one too many.IP: Logged |

You have no way of knowing most of that! there actually arent full y facts out yetMaybe it was the lack of numbers and aggro from the the right.. where were they all anyway? Ask for nonviolence and they stay home? maybe the cops attacked first (Boston cops actually have a rep for going overboard) since when did the right become the free speechers anyway? Since they started blaming the left for any and all violence at their gigs? Like the shooting at Milo's party? The cops protected the righters at that too.. turns out it was one of their own who shot a leftie. Sure n i agree one cop attacked is too many.. as is one person shot in the back dead for no reason by a cop. IP: Logged |

aw shucks jwhop, some would inherit a billion dollars and complain they had to pay taxes.  It would indeed be a wonderful world if zero violence existed. Randall, blame should wait until the facts are completely known. Thats Trumps gig anyhow... ------------------

I haven't said a word about trump waiting to speak..nor has he done so😜And in what universe is questioning the alt rights self designation as therr champions of free speech equal ti being against frre speech? I live in a universe that doesn't include news programs 24/7. So sue me.. but i warrant if you watched it on fox they only showed the "lefties" in their worst possible light.

Actually, FOX News has a number of people on the left side of the spectrum. That's why it's fair and balanced.IP: Logged |

http://www.google.com/amp/www.foxnews.com/us/2017/08/1 9/thousands-march-through-boston-for-free-speech-rally.amp.htmBoston Police Department Commissioner William Evans said in late afternoon there had been 27 arrests, most for disorderly conduct, along with a few for assaulting police officers. He added there were few injuries and no significant property damage. I can't copy paste Dumpty's tweet but it bears no resemblance to the reports
LOOKS LIKE MANY ANTIPOLICE AGITATORS IN BOSTON. POLICE ARE LOOKING TOUGH AND SMART! THANK YOU!
If there had been "many anti police agitators "the 500 police would have had a hard time in such a huge crowd. Why is he trying to characterize a peaceful crowd of tens of thousands as thugs?

Yes i remember Alan Colms explaining his purpose at Fox as "pet/token liberal".. so they could say they weren't all about Repubs and conservatives. He stood for their ridicule and theatrical scorn becsuse he felt someone had to put another point across even if it was sidelined in general.😜IP: Logged |

Media contortions protect their established narrative in Boston
Thomas Lifson Something dramatic and important happened yesterday in Boston, but the mainstream provided a counternarrative to mask the shame of it all. The media violated the normal rules of the TV news game – if it bleeds it leads and find a victim -- in order to protect the sacred resistance narrative’s presumptive good guys. The real story of yesterday is that the Boston Police there advised a small crowd of free speech advocates – nary a white supremacist among the speakers – to stop the program early and [I paraphrase] “RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!” I am sure they said it a bit more diplomatically, that the group’s safety could not be guaranteed as a mob of 20,000 approached. The crowd had warmed up and psyched up by marching and chanting their way 2.4 miles from Roxbury Crossing. Antifa, with a record of violence was on hand. The police advised evacuation. To protect them from the throngs already assembled, they put them into police wagons and ferried them to safety. The only violence and arrests (“dozens” according to ABC News) were on the left, including a disgusting attack on an elderly woman that pushed her and Old Glory to the ground. Boston police were even attacked with bottles of urine and tweeted out a plea for “individuals” to stop it. Absolutely no groups are ever to be associated with this vicious act, and none were in the major media that did manage to cover the attack, so far as I saw. But I am reasonably sure that none of the free speech crowd threw urine at the police as they were being sheltered from a hostile throng and given safe haven. But that sort of thing is best left to inference in the media's view. You can find many of the bare facts in the narrative mentioned above and none of the finger pointing in the statement and answers to reporters made by Boston Police Commissioner William Evans. It is well worth the minute and half it takes. Hat tip: Jim Hoft. Oddly enough, some of the most illuminating commentary on the day came from antifa itself, which was far more honest than the media. Joshua Caplan collected some choice tweets in which @AntifaBoston chortled over getting the “idiot Democrats” to side with them and bragging about media support.   (If you have the time, check out the @BostonAntifa Twitter feed. It leaves no doubt about how far left this violent mob is. The establishment has got its narrative and it's sticking to it. I guess it is hate speech to frame the story with the drama and victims prominent in the story when the wrong people are being persecuted.
