I understand Boston is being swarmed by a zombie horde right now. Better keep a shotgun nearby.

"The small right-wing group huddled in a circle at the park as barricades fenced them off from the thousands of counter-protesters who came to drown out their event."


I hope you are okay.

The cops just took down the rally's flags from where they were scheduled to speak. Looks like a no-show, and the counter-ralliers are beginning to break up. My desire to see mass violence today has been sorely unfulfilled.

For $500 I'll cry out White Lives Matter in response to the BLM chant going on right now

"Even if the barricade is breached, it would take a number beyond reckoning - thousands - to storm the bandstand."

"Tens of thousands."

A shotgun. In Boston. That's a good one.

Anyway, showed up late to the rally, only about 15 minutes before the cops took the flags down. The anti-rally protesters easily numbered in the thousands. There were a good number of people dressed as Antifa, but the vast majority of the crowd were just your typical (mostly white) SJWs, along with a smaller number of black folks. Some people were there just to observe, playing card games and smoking weed. After the rally became a no-show most of the protesters stayed to congratulate themselves, while many others began organized marches up Charles Street.

The actual area were the rally people were supposed to speak was cordoned off, but the rest of the Common was open to the public. I only saw a couple of pro-rally people the entire time.

-One guy (who wisely had his face covered with a USA motorcycle helmet) was picked out of the crowd by police and taken away in handcuffs, to the cheers of the protesters.

-A second guy (who unwisely showed his face) was quickly surrounded by a mob of several hundred people and followed around as he made his way across the Common. He was trying to say something but I couldn't hear what as he was being drowned out by people screaming at him. No violence occurred, but several dozen people ran up to take pictures of him, so he's probably in the process of being doxxed as we speak.

Was surprised by the low number of police there - I did an informal survey as I walked around the Common and the count came out to well less than a hundred uniformed officers. One black cop talking to the protesters afterwards was openly congratulating them and saying that the event never should have happened in the first place, so who knows how the police would have reacted if violence did break out. The city did block off vehicle access to the Common and Public Garden by barricading the surrounding streets with garbage trucks, and also shut down the T stations on the Common.

Protestor signs were mostly some variation of Fuck Nazis/Trump/capitalism, along with a lot of BLM and Unity horseshit. A couple were amusing though:

I still don't know who could have possibly thought this rally would have been a good idea in the first place - Boston in particular is a city where no one would support you. The fact that they even tried one here is insane.

And ys is correct, Aeros it's adorable that you think we have the ability to own guns here.

I'm sure the low police presence is because BPD understands the people they're working with.

Anti-fascist rally? Sure, people are a bit worked up there. Red Sox win the World Series? Send out the fucking cavalry or else the city will be reduced to ashes.

I got to listen to a black lady explain that the reason there were so many white people present compared to "people of color" was because they all had privilege unlike their oppressed brown brothers and sisters who could not make it because "reasons".

Lots of cheering and clapping over this. It was rather odd.

"Great, hate us, but your daughters will date us!"

The daughters who will likely result from an incestuous relationship? I guess they don't really care as long as the ass cheeks weigh 100 lbs each.

You know that is our thing to say and when whitey says it it's cultural appropriation?

Rofl!!! We fucked up their horses during the world series celebration. Mainly with beer bottles and flaming brooms. Those fuckers had to retreat. Of course our victory was short lived. After we defeated their cav, they soon hit us with their main heavy shield wall and flash bangs, and that pretty much ended that. We broke and went home. Fun though.

Gotta teach proper medieval tactics. Need a shield wall to match theirs, then bring beer bottle skirmishers around their flanks.
