Looks like the fascist 'free speech' rally was a fizzle.  Good.

 “We probably had 40,000 people out here standing tall against hatred and bigotry in our city and that’s a good feeling.”
Police Commissioner William B. Evans


In a city with fraught racial past, a day of protest against hatred and bigotry

By Mark Arsenault GLOBE STAFF  AUGUST 19, 2017

A city with a fraught racial past turned out tens of thousands of protesters Saturday for an overwhelming denunciation of racism, anti-Semitism, and religious bigotry, in a demonstration that was largely peaceful though punctuated with scuffles and some edgy nose-to-nose encounters among demonstrators.

On a hot, humid day, sweaty throngs on Boston Common chanted — sometimes angrily, often profanely — against Nazis, racism, the Ku Klux Klan, and fascists.


They held signs calling for peace, waved the rainbow flag of the gay rights movement, and held placards honoring Heather Heyer, a woman killed last weekend opposing white nationalists at a rally in Charlottesville, Va.

“My co-workers thought I was crazy to come here because a woman was killed last week,” said Ny Martin, 40, of Medford. “But that’s why I had to be here.”

The local impetus for the massive demonstration on Boston Common was a rally planned before Charlottesville by the Boston Free Speech Coalition, a group that claims to promote open dialogue but that civil rights advocates say is linked to people who espouse racial hatred and violence.

Coming a week after the Virginia violence, the Boston Free Speech rally generated a massive response by residents and law enforcement officials.

“I think it’s clear today that Boston stood for peace and love, not bigotry and hate,” Mayor Martin J. Walsh said at a late afternoon news conference.

Walsh also thanked the Boston Police Department and other law enforcement agencies, including the MBTA Transit Police and the State Police.

“They carried themselves with dignity, and I’m proud of that work, and I’m proud of the fact that here in Boston we were able to have a very successful day,” the mayor said.

Police Commissioner William B. Evans said at the news conference, “We probably had 40,000 people out here standing tall against hatred and bigotry in our city and that’s a good feeling.”
