‘Free Speech’ Rally Fizzles as Counterprotesters Swarm Boston
Apparently the Nazis, Neo-Confederate, and various others stripes of white supremacists are beginning to notice some backlash to their hate, and their turnout in Boston demonstrates their cowardice and lack of confidence in their dark philosophy of fear and diminishing returns.
By their sheer numbers, thousands of anti-racist protesters marching through downtown Boston on Saturday effectively prevented conservative activists from mounting a “Free Speech Rally” in the aftermath of deadly clashes last week in Virginia.
Only a handful of rally-goers, some wearing red “Make America Great Again” Trump caps, appeared to navigate their way through waves of marchers pouring into the Boston Common area, where the “Boston Free Speech” event was planned.
Some media reports said only two dozen people actually attended the rally that had sparked the counterprotest in the first place.
One of the planned speakers of the conservative activist rally said the event “fell apart.”
