Thousands expected at Boston ‘free speech’ rally and counter-protest

Boston police commissioner: "99.9% of the people here were here for the right reasons."


0:50

I take the police commissioner's word over that of Trump's. Trump is just fear-mongering and increasing divisiveness for the entertainment of his base, per usual.


What about the request to stop throwing urine and other objects harmful at their officers?

Or did you conveniently ignore that part because it hurts your message?

You DO realize that it is intellectually honest to both call out the fact that there are anti-police agitators AND for Trump to state,

"I want to applaud the many protesters in Boston that are speaking out against bigotry and hate. Our Country will soon come together as one."


I think it is intellectually dishonest to consistently attempt to claim Trump is making blanket statements because it suits your own purposes.

"Many" does not imply he is calling the whole group of protesters anti-police agitators. And just because the vast majority of the group protested in proper fashion does not mean that people should ignore Anti-fa groups who are agitating police and throwing rocks and urine at officers.



Get a grip on reality.

Antifa showed up looking for trouble. They're thugs just like the nazi assholes.

Nope, I saw the bit about urine filled bottles. But I accept the word of the police commissioner that those constituted .1% of the incidents. Yet Trump took that .1% and decided to define the entire protest by that, also implying that if you were there to protest bigotry then you're in the wrong.

If you're accusing the police commissioner of lying, then I can only assume you know something about him personally that I do not.

If .1% of Right wingers caused trouble, would you say the same thing?

That is not what it implied at all....

Now you ignored the BOTTOM portion of my post once again?

Do you ****ing read posts or just respond to the first line?

NOWHERE did President Trump define the entire protest by that. NOWHERE.

He simply stated there were "many" anti-police agitators. How you get him defining the entire protest by that I do not know. Wishful Thinking, obviously.

Then you totally ignored the remainder of my post quoting a Donald J. Trump tweet, which directly refutes what you are claiming.



Get a grip on reality. Lose your Trump Derrangement Syndrome.
 
If you truly wanted free speech, why not march with the other thousands of people instead of your ten idiot racist friends?
*I'm assuming not all racists in Boston know each other.
So if you truly want free speech, you should march with the people who are there protesting against free speech? Holy Orwellian narrative, Batman!

That was his summary of the protest. .1% of the protesters behaved badly. 99.9% were there for all the right reasons. Trump's takeaway: "ANTI-POLICE AGITATORS!!"

And based on your posts in this thread, I'd say you were his target audience.
 
The antifa trash obviously showed up looking for trouble. What kind of idiot does it take to counter protest a free speech rally?

One like me!

Pods of WP Aryans don't feel so tough facing thousands of Antifa (and others) protesters.

Just because they didn't do anything doesn't mean they were "there for the right reasons".

There were Aryans among the free speech ralliers?

He was obviously watching videos of ****ers throwing **** at police and causing problems, and walking around with signs about more dead cops. You cannot counter my argument that he was merely pointing out that there are many police agitators there and he was thanking the police for standing proud against them. You have to push a false narrative that he was defining the entire group upon that. You are wrong. And you refuse to admit it.

WTF is that supposed to mean? Care to explain... or will you cut and run from your dumb comments like you did in this post where you keep repeating the same thing and not acknowledging that you pre-judged Trump because you irrationally hate his guts.

It amazes me that only 100 or so people showed up to protest and advocate for free speech.
Yet thousands counter protesters showed up. What you wont find in the media like the article above. Counter protesters, what are they countering... Free speech.
So you have thousand of people who dont want free speech in this country?
Who was apart of the counter protesters BLM, Antifa, mostly democrates. Hmm... Makes you wonder why these people dont want free speech?

Of course, the irony of ironies is that the antifa protesters are the biggest fascists of all.

It means that if you don't agree with the communist Left, you're a nazi. Ironic, I know.

Protesting against hate isn't protesting against free speech. But it didn't take long for someone to say what you just did

That's why the Libbos are absolutely dangerous. It won't be long before they find out why the Founders gave us the 2nd Amendment.

Hate speech is protected by The Constitution.

But if they are counter-protesters. Who are showing up to "counter" a free speech event.......... doesn't that make them countering free speech?
 
Oh the irony. Left wing hate groups like ANTIFA and BLM want nothing to do with " free speech ", neither does anyone who shows up at a rally with the intention of shutting down speech they disagree with.

Theyre anti-fascist who rely on fascist tactics to usurp Constitutional protections guaranteed to all Americans.

ANTIFA has been using violence to shut down the free speech rightheof others long before Charlottesville, exept now they have a bunch of naive Americans supporting their actions.

That is correct. No one is denying this allegation. The Aryan race needs updated.

It was a free speech rally. What is it about free speech that makes you hate it?
 
Just because they didn't do anything doesn't mean they were "there for the right reasons".

The same could be said about the idiots hiding behind free speech.
