This is what hatred looks like |
Boston Police Commissioner William Evans and the City of Boston are preparing for possible violence at the rally, organized by the Boston Free Speech Coalition.
Boston is deploying 500 cops, some in plain clothes, to monitor the situation. Thousands of people are expected to attend the rally.
The rally organizers stressed on Facebook that "We are not associated with any alt-right or white supremacist groups. We are strictly about free speech."
But members of Antifa don't really care what they represent--they're intolerant of free speech so expect the worst.
The Massachusetts KKK are planning to attend the rally, the Boston Herald reports. Their national director, Thomas Robb, told the Herald he doesn't believe his KKK scum croutons will be disruptive, and said they had nothing to do with the violence in Charlottesville.
"Our members don't stand out, they don't walk around giving Nazi salutes. They might be your next door [Democrat] neighbor or Cub Scout leader," Robb said.
Heck, they might even be friends with Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Boston's Mayor Marty Walsh (D) and Massachusetts' Gov. Charlie Baker (R) both warned that violence wouldn't be tolerated. In addition, harsh restrictions were put in place to obtain the permit for today's rally, including a ban against backpacks, sticks, hand grenades, rifles, handguns, pepper spray, bottles filled with gasoline, mortars, pestles, and anything that could be used as a weapon.
Black Lives Matter will also attend, as well as groups that actually oppose violence.
John Medlar, one of the organizers of the rally, said he would "immediately denounce" anyone with swastikas [except perhaps for Hindus who use the swastika as a religious symbol long before Hitler used it for hatred] or doing a "Hitler salute." He said he wouldn't allow the free speech event be "hijacked by the KKK."
The rally will begin at 2 p.m. local time and there will be events scheduled in Dallas and Atlanta.
A good time is expected to be had by all.
