Liberals, media say Boston protests were peaceful — but police tell much different reality

As tens of thousands rallied in Boston on Saturday, some for “free speech” and others “against hate,” the dominate media narrative was that those protesting against hate and white supremacy did so peacefully.

However, that’s not true — and it’s quite far from the truth, in fact.

The genesis

A “free speech” rally had been planned in Boston on Saturday, one similar to that planned in Charlottesville, Virginia, last weekend. However, given how last weekend’s events panned out, hardly any people showed up for the free speech rally, while tens of thousands gathered for counter-demonstrations.

Still, it was anticipated that a large number of neo-Nazis and white supremacists would show up. That never happened and the “free speech” rally only had a permit for 100 people.
