I don't see the powers that be pass on the opportunity for violence in the streets with the momentum they have.

I think there was supposed to be a Free Speech event in Boston today that was going to draw a much larger counter protest, but who knows if it's still going to go on. The article yesterday made it seem like security would be pretty tight, but I imagine the antifa types will show up and throw bricks.

20k counter protestors (for lack of a better term) are expected. They hope to be "louder" to prove biston is not a bigotted city. Obviously theyve never been to boston.

Not at all according to the article yesterday. Just a bunch of dudes who got worried after antifa started violently protesting and rioting on college campuses, or using threats, to silence conservative voices. However, there did seem like there may have been some speakers with links to white supremacy, maybe? You can never trust a journalist to be accurate with those labels, but some speakers were dis-invited for possibly having ties to that kind of stuff.

They are covering their faces. So many people are flocking just to see.

Based on the organizer who explicitly denounced racism, white supremacy, and bigotry, they are rallying for free peaceful speech, a d specifically against antifa.

Naturally, the will show up to counter protest people counter protesting them, will show up and prove their point.

And so help us God, if one known white supremacist shows up, the whole group will be labeled as such.

No clue. It's Saturday. I'll catch the highlights later.

I'm sure any of them will be monitoring, hopi... er, waiting for something to happen.

There is a "Protect The Monuments" rally today in Hot Springs. I haven't heard of any counter protests but I would think there would be a few.
