White-nationalist rally set for City Hall Plaza - underneath a black-unity flag
By adamg on Sat, 08/18/2018 - 11:07am
Some Aryan fanboys plan to harrumph and stuff at a rally in front of Boston City Hall today. Wonder if they'll look up to see one of the three flags flying above the area set aside for them? BPD is staging inside City Hall.

Globe reporter live-tweeting the counter-protesters
Jeremy Fox is on scene.
Who is covering the protest?
I don't really know what it is about.
Demonstration
Not protest.
Gatherings of groups aren't always protests.
True.
Sometimes they're...political...
Some screen grabs from the link AG posted (Jeremy Fox):
Commies:
More commies:
The 'nazi' um, not protesters. Note the 'not a' swastika:
And a good time was had by all.
I like that
every time I think it’s not possible for you to prove yourself a more disingenuous piece of shit, you somehow manage to one-up yourself. Don’t stop now, bro! You’ve totally got socialism on the ropes! Apply your devastating powers of logic and finish it!
What is disingenuous?
Those are indeed images of today’s gatherings. The bottom one is mislabeled by Mr. Fox (as pointed out by dmcboston), because that is actually an image of the “Rightist” group who many here and elsewhere are trying to tar as “Nazis” - you all see clearly they are against the swastika… you do see that, right? They are equally against the hammer and sickle. Do you really believe that only fascists are against marxism? That is certainly what Antifa needs you to believe to gain further strength.
Anyway, most chilling is that UHub has a disingenuous headline about “white nationalist” presence, or that an Africanism flag had relevance to the day, and Mr. Gaffin is perhaps rejecting comment posts that do not violate civil decorum, but yet do elaborate on facts that the UHub report has been missing, as well as respectfully including dissents from the opinions of UHub’s “progressive” curmudgeons.
Kudos to Mr. Fox for however inadvertently not letting Mr. Gaffin entirely get away with mischaracterizing the attendants and purposes of these assemblies in Boston, which is uncharacteristic of Mr. Gaffin, who is often the only one reporting accurately on unusual happenings in Boston.
This is all very confusing.
This is all very confusing. I can't tell one side from the other. Looks like a whole lot of people trying to troll each other.
Like the internet, but real

Blowin In the Wind?
"A protester sings a version of 'Blowin In the Wind' with revised lyrics at a rally outside the Mass State House opposing right-wing political groups who plan to march this afternoon."
Honestly, can't they do better than that? That's the problem with so many of these protesters, they so desperately want it to be the 1960s. Come up with something new. And I say that as a huge Bob Dylan fan.
Thanks Adam
I can't believe the other mainstream media outlets didn't do a story on this rally. The Globe reporting on this thirty minutes ago is a cover your ass story because they knew about the rally and failed to notify their readers.
Thanks, but ...
The Globe has two reporters and a photographer there while I'm just sitting here at home ...
Sickle and Swastika
I see one group marching under a hammer-and-sickle flag. What's this, a who-can-murder-more-millions contest?
I have a choice.
Go out and start cutting my grass before it starts to rain, or go join them with my Pol Pot tee shirt.
Maybe they're just not history buffs...
No Actual Nazis Present!
You and UHub are propagating alternative facts. I just came from there. Yes, there are swastikas on the communist, marxist, and anarcho-marxist’s signage because these signs say what they are against. Yes, the hammer and sickle signage carried by these groups is what they are FOR not what they are against. Though these red/black groups are openly advocating Soviet communism and marxism (some through anarchy and black bloc) , they are termed the “counter-protesters” because they are countering the people who are “protesting” communism/marxism/anarchy. The people you are demonizing as “Nazis” or "white nationalists" are merely anti-communist anti-marxists, not pro-fascist or pro-Nazism. Just because you might agree with the communist/marxists/anarchists that anyone to “the right” of their own ideologies is “Nazi” doesn’t make this objective fact. Again, objectively, these are anti-marxists protesting the rise of the clearly open and actual communism which calls itself “anti-fascist” (and which is bold enough In Boston to be openly pro-Communist).
You should call this number

Communism? Marxism? So that is what they are calling "don't want a fascist kleptocrat group looting the treasury" now?
Florid delusions are not a good sign.
And an anti anti fascist is ... say it
You going to get there in time to get your trophy?
A couple of weeks ago...
...the little darlings (and I mean that to cover both sides) clashed in Berkeley, CA. The police, for whatever reason, decided to arrest a bunch of those deadly Antifa and posted the mug shots online.
Here's the result:
First, they were pissed at being unmasked. Me? I'm wondering how many of them were paid crackheads. If this is what's hiding under the black masks, damn.
I feel bad for them. I'll be happy to buy them some Mickey D's next time they show up.
Paid?
By whom?
Oh, yeah - deep state communist socialist thug Soros, of course!
Gotta call the hotline - still haven't been paid for the Women's March yet! Used the electronic time card ap and everything!
What a coincidence!
You know who else pulled the “we’re not Nazis, we were just hanging out with the Nazis” defense? Most of the Nuremberg defendants! I’ll wait here while you go google how that went. No rush, anon.
So why were they advertising the rally on Stormfront?

so
you follow up your position that leftists "demonize" anyone to the right of them as "nazis" by stating that so-called "antifa" are actual communists? lol seems a little disingenuous to me, buddy.
What is stuffed down the
What is stuffed down the pants of the fella holding the mic boom?
Her dick.
It's new. Have some respect for surgical skills.
Wow
I guess this would make quite a bulge.
Her dick.
This comment is really, really gross and transphobic.
White nationalists look
White nationalists look different than I expected.

Didn't you get the memo from Harvard?
Asians are white now.
Now?
MIT decided that in 1982 or so.
Oh my god everyone down there
Oh my god everyone down there looks like such goofballs. This isn't scary at all hahaha
In the words of Jay-Z
You know the type, loud as a motorbike
But wouldn't bust a grape in a fruit fight
Makes me wonder
I wonder if the sole reason they hold their little Mein Kampfouts is to feel special when the police escort them from one small space to a stage and back again like little rock stars?
Someone should present them with trophies after the event.
They are embarrassing
They are embarrassing attention seekers, just like fellow racist Trump.
What do you think would
What do you think would happen if they didn't have police there?
That wasn't the point
I wasn't questioning the presence of cops, but noting that these little twaddlesnappers may be getting off on having an escort.
Not the same thing.
I wonder if the cops would let me hand out participation trophies. I could get artists to make them! They might be willing to believe that was part of the event given the maturity level of those participating.
Cops and Klan?
Can anyone of those chanting “cops and Klan go hand in hand” explanation what that means? Can any of you wicked smart guys or gals elaborate?
New England may be different
But things down south and out west speak to the problem of klanfestation of police departments:
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/fbi-white-supremacists-in-law-enforc...
Been a well-known issue for years.
The headline in link you
The headline in link you provided implies that was over a decade ago
Re: Cops and Klan?
A lot of that garbage has to do with Obama stating the "Cambridge Police acted stupidly" by responding to a citizen's very legitimate 911 call of a possible breaking and entering in progress and politely asking questions of black Professor Skippy Gates, who was breaking into his own home after lock out. Gates treated the police terribly. Obama, Biden and their friend Gates were forced to invite Cambridge Sergeant Crowley to a "beer summit" at the White House but the damage was done.
We also had the fake "hands up, don't shoot" in Ferguson, MO where black "Big Mike" was fleeing his strongarm robbery of a Korean grocer. Then as evidence showed, "Big Mike" reached into a police cruiser and attacked an officer who properly defended himself and shot him. Not one but two Grand Juries cleared the officer but the damage was done. The poor officer had to quit and move out of town due to death threats from the "peace" crowd.
"Outrage" that the body was briefly not covered with a sheet although that is academy basic training lest the sheet attach or remove any forensic evidence. You don't immediately cover the body yet the dutiful media stokes the flames. Very few racist cops today in this country. The age of Democrat Bull Connor as Commissioner of Public Safety terrorizing blacks is long gone.
On the internet ...
nobody can see your white robe.
Go away fool - present data to back your ridiculous conspiracy assertions or STFU.
The African Americans living with me would slap me down
No white robe. That was the Democrat Majority Leader Robert Byrd who Hillary Clinton called her mentor. Grand Kleage of the KKK.
The African Americans living with me would slap me down if I made a racist comment. All of my statements in earlier post easily verifiable. As Republican Dr. Martin Luther King said, "judge by the content of their character."
I will also suggest you take your bicycle (with headlight, helmet and reflectors) and park at a street corner wherever you live. You'll find it very difficult to determine the color of driver with factory tinted windows, especially in a cruiser that also has factory tinted windows. In 2018, any cop out there targeting blacks would be quickly discovered and fired. Anti-cop chants today and you agreeing with them is disgraceful.
Oh Look
Fishy has a few black friends!
For all we know Fishy has a few imaginary friends, too.
Not...
...the only imaginary thing about Fish.
Neither of those police cases have anything to do with the Klan
But congrats on nailing your talking points, I guess.

Nothingburger, actually
A minute or so of two demonstrators getting a bit heated at each other, neither making any particularly interesting points, and clearly each working with a lot of assumptions about the other.
Ended with the guy correcting one of his own (one assumes) about what she actually said (which at least gets him a point for not being a complete tool).
