Today brought a big gathering in Boston to protest against a supposed Nazi rally. There was a slight problem with the gathering, however, since no Nazis showed up. No KKK members showed up either. In fact, the only thugs who were there came as members of Antifa. These winners threw bottles, rocks and balloons filled with urine at the Boston police who were charged with keeping order. In other words, it was just another day in Boston. There was no far right extremist activity; there really never is. There were thousands who came out to be part of a liberal rally; again nothing new there. Some far left thugs decided to attack police; that too is nothing unusual.
It's good that the Boston day has been mostly peaceful. Principal credit for the peace goes to the Boston police department. In Charlottesville, the local cops did nothing as fighting started and then escalated into a full skirmish. In Boston, a show of force by police kept everyone (even the crazies from Antifa) calm and away from the shows of violence that blew up in Virginia.
