"Boston, MA - An estimated over 20,000 people showed up to Boston to protest the Free Speech Rally after it was reported that the free speech group was made up of white supremacists. Antifa among the counter-protesters began attacking police Saturday afternoon.
Around 50 people showed up to attend the Free Speech Rally, none of them are known white supremacists and no white supremacist symbols were being displayed.
After the 50 people at the free speech rally gave speeches, police tried to transport them out and Antifa members began to mob them and throw objects at police officers. Those officers were in their patrol uniform with no protective gear."
Most of the people in the crowd are not engaging in violence, but Antifa is using those people as cover to attack the Boston Police officers.
Earlier in the day, near the start of the counter-protest march, an Antifa member attacked a woman who was holding an American flag. The Antifa hit her, and dragged her across the ground as he stole her flag. The moment was captured on video.

Stay classy all lefties.

The Greatest Troll in the History of Trolling.
Already been a fair bit of violence, streets are still full of angry leftards,
and the sun is going down, so soon the hood rats will come out.
All the chaos, all the violence, all the Police Overtime ($$millions),
all thanks to the leftie fascists.
There should be right wing marches every day of the week.
Imagine: 20,000 people come out to protest free speech.
Walsh thanked the people who came out to share the message of “love not hate,” as well as the emergency personnel who worked the scene.
“I think it’s clear today that Boston stood for peace and love, not bigotry and hate,” Walsh said.

As of the press conference, police had made 27 arrests, mostly for disorderly conduct but also “a couple” for assault and battery on police officers and other charges, according to Evans. He said some officers were hit with bottles of urine, and police tweeted that rocks were being thrown at officers. No serious injuries or significant property damage occurred, Evans added.
Evans didn’t attribute the bad behavior to rally-goers or counter-protesters, but rather a third group.
“Obviously I wish the troublemakers stayed away,” he said. “ … They weren’t here for either side. They were here just to cause problems.”
Evans said, “99.9 percent of people here were for the right reasons, and that’s to fight bigotry and hate.”
Three people “with ballistic vests” were stopped by officers, and later police found a gun with one of the vests, according to Evans.
“There were people, I think, who came here to cause some harm,” he said, “but we were lucky to get those three out of here.”
Evans became the most animated after a reporter said organizers alleged speakers were unable to get to the “free speech” rally.
“We had a job to do; we did a great job,” he said. “I’m not going to listen to people who come in here and want to talk about hate. And you know what, if they didn’t get in, that’s a good thing ’cause their message isn’t what we want to hear.”

Overall, Evans called it a “great day for the city.”
“I’m really impressed,” he said. “We probably had 40,000 people out here, standing tall against hatred and bigotry in our city, and that’s a good feeling.”

Oh and:
...Later, Trump tweeted that the protests might help heal decades-old divisions.
"Our great country has been divided for decades," he wrote. "Sometimes you need protest in order to heal, & we will heal, & be stronger than ever before!"
"I want to applaud the many protestors in Boston who are speaking out against bigotry and hate," he continued. "Our country will soon come together as one!"

Ah yes, protesting hate speech bad...hate speech good.
Leftists all beaming with pride, because they have the biggest mob.
Yep, looks to me it was 50 snowflakes vs 20 000 people against hate. I'm really happy 20 000 came out! Very few of the
20 000appear to be violent, most just protesting. Good on them.

They don't really have much else....

All the little browns shirts complaining about being roughed up. Maybe they'd like the tradional and proven approach to dealing with fascists.
