A couple of hundred Trump-supporting racists and bigots marched down Boylston and Tremont streets today, vastly outnumbered by both police and by protesters.
The entirety of the "parade" in Copley Square (photo by Jan; compare to the number of marchers in the 2017 women's march):

The corner of Boylston and Tremont proved a flashpoint for police, who arrested some protesters and sprayed others with pepper spray (photos by Popoulis):

Pepper-sprayed protester being treated with milk in his eyes:

NBC Boston reports 34 arrests. Many of these, and more pepper spraying, came after the official end of the march, when police wanted to clear Congress Street:

Claire Blechman reports:
The rally was over and the cops came blowing through pepper spraying, beating people, and making arrests for no reason. All they had to do was let people leave, but instead they made a riot.
Protesters, of course, had signs:


The Trump supporters had a "bridge:"

At Park Street, protesters chanted "Boston hates you" at the Trumpkins and friends:

Before the march began, protesters gathered at City Hall Plaza to gear up. One white supremacist decided to hit the bricks as well:

There were a lot of cops - BPD was joined by officers from neighboring communities:

In the end, the racists scurried out of town under the Haymarket garage.
Adam Pieniazek is hopeful some good might actually come out of this:
The best part of this tiny thing is it shows us shutting down major streets in Boston is easy! That's great news for car-free, bus only lane, protected bike lane & pedestrian street advocates. How about daily Newbury street pedestrian pride parades?
We should definitely organize tons of car-free, protected bike lane, bus only lane, fix the T, NSRL, pedestrian zone, & fare-free MBTA pride parades constantly every day possible.
Kris Haight posted way more photos.

Everything isn't A-OK to them and the OH sign is a known gesture with a known meaning when used by people who believe in "white power."

I sparred about this being a white supremacist rally when the git thing was announced. I supposed there is too much nuance to say that it's a rally arranged by white supremacists, and since the organizers are white supremacists, I suppose Adam (and others) have cause to call it a white supremacist rally, even though it is not.
In the end, all of this is a total crock, from end to end. People like to hate, and this group of haters gave those who hate them a chance to get together and hate each other today. Me, I had fun with my son miles away from all of this.

Where's your math? How can 30% of the population be a white supremacist - or a number even close to that? Please cite demographic statistics and any other stats you can find to get to a number remotely close to that. Or are you just trying to be as divisive as humanly possible because it serves some sleazy purpose of yours?

Here's the TL;DR version...
Civil War gets fought. Slaves freed. South not happy, but the Emancipator is dead and no one can fill his shoes. South does 'separate but equal'. Railroads try to fight it, 'cause running a separate car for one black guy costs money. Plessey makes an issue, goes to Supreme Court. Plessey v Fergusen becomes the law of the land. Until the Brown v Board decision, 1955(4?), separate but equal rules.
Little girl wants to go to Little Rock High. Uppity Negroes cannot be permitted there.
President Eisenhower, a Republican, sends in 101st Airborne (82? I forget), federalizes the Arkansas National Guard, kicks back to watch the fireworks.
Little girl goes to school, Norman Rockwell paints evocative work for Saturday Evening Post.
Sixties happen, LBJ makes famous statement about somebody voting Democrat 'for the next 200 years'.
All is well in the Republic until Trump becomes President, then US becomes mostly Nazi.

Anyone who is not ready for a wholesale revolution is propping up the status quo.

Sun, 09/01/2019 - 11:35am
You can look through the pics on social media or flickr and find plenty of overt symbols & a few serious dog-whistles tied inextricably to white supremacists-white nationalists.
Among the people definitely identified was John Camden, a guy from New Hampshire who had an official role in the American Guard, a neo-nazi group. He was initially noticed because of the nazi "wolfsangel" tattoo on his neck that could be seen in one of the news photos (he later covered it). People more familiar with him then IDed him from the photo.
Here's one link to the twitter exchange, but there were many other people who IDed him:
The affiliation between parade organizers, supporters, and invited guests, and neofascist, incel, and/or white nationalist groups and people, has been covered since the parade was first announced. It has been covered in the press and on social media.
And Milo Yiannopoulos, parade booster & grand marshal (though he was a no show) hardly needs to have his alt-right ties listed again.
Maybe we need to start applying to UHub my twitter rule:

From where I’m sitting, you’re merely another propaganda-bubble-dwelling Trumpie, a dumb retweeter of easilly-debunked Fox News talking points, a rhetorical paper tiger. If I got my ass handed to me on the facts as often as you do here, I would delete my account out of shame.

When everyone's an Actual Nazi, yet there's a mix of a wide variety of folks, maybe you should check [i]your[/i] privilege...and your assumptions.

Tell ya what, let's do Shahady, cause I ain't got all night. Let's see what we can find in a hurry about your little Hitlers...https://heavy.com/news/2019/06/mark-sahady/
FTA: He welcomed illegal aliens to Nancy Pelosi's Napa Valley estate, apologizing for her security and need I say it...walls. He flashed the three percent sign, Noted lawsuit losing race hustling entity SPLC (which I actually financially backed back in the day, when they sued the KKK for their clubhouse, and won) said, "...gesture “symbolizes their belief in the disputed claim that only three percent of American colonists fought against the British in the American Revolution. The three extended fingers represent this three percent.”
OK, so using a hand sign that signifies the Colonials that actively fought in the Revolutionary War is, what? Nazi? No, that's just stupid.
Next fact...his post went viral because of the NY Times. LOL...it's the Streisand Effect. I love it. Thank you NY Times.
Next one..."Sahady Is a Republican, & Often Posts Pro-Trump Statuses on Facebook" There ya go. He's an Actual Nazi.
Finally..."...Proud Boys are not a Washington based group, but a group with members all over the nation. You claim that we displayed ‘well-known Nazi regalia’ on our side. Do you have any pictures to back up your false accusation? You neglect to mention that those organizing the counter protest aimed to shut the rally down, by force if neccessary. You also neglect to mention that the counter protestors attacked our rally with spray paint and bodily fluids, some of which hit the police..."
"However, the Proud Boys organization maintains Sahady is not a member, and never has been."
Well...interesting. So Nazi...
As far as the rest...I stand with Oliver Wendell Holmes. I find freedom of speech acceptable. I'm not a part of them, I might not agree with them, but I do not condone violence to interfere with their Constitutional rights of freedom to peacably assemble...until the hooded savages of antifa show up.

I also saw, among other slogans with no "offensive" words in them, "We're Allies, not Axis," "Love is Love," and "Fighting oppression since Pharaoh." If you prefer "straight people are ruining my Saturday" and "stuff your 'straight pride' in a hole in the ground," go ahead and carry one of those signs. But somehow, since you're saying you "don't like or see the point" of white supremacists but can't be bothered to align yourself with people fighting for justice because we say "fuck" too often, I don't expect to see you out there with a neat "Justice for all means ALL" or "Trans rights are human rights" sign either.
I am sick of having fucking "civility" urged on me as a way of dealing with Nazi sympathizers.
