Stay Away From The Common’ During Boston Free Speech Rally, Walsh Urges
CBS Boston ^

Posted on 08/18/2017 6:57:46 PM PDT by bryan999

BOSTON (CBS) – Boston Mayor Marty Walsh is urging people to stay away from a planned Free Speech Rally scheduled for Saturday on Boston Common.

Walsh made the comments Friday as he discussed security for the event alongside Boston Police Commissioner William Evans and Gov. Charlie Baker.

The mayor said he has spoken with the Southern Poverty Law Center for guidance on how to handle events involving white supremacists.

“They say that interacting with these groups just gives them a platform to spread their message of hate,” said Walsh. “They recommend that people should not confront these rallies. So we’re urging everyone to stay away from the Common.”

Does this idiot really think Antifa gives a flying hoot what he has to say? If so, he’s dumber than the average leftist mayor by a bunch. And that’s saying something!

In other words, they’ll hope for another riot.

So, you’re a white supremacist if you support free speech?

YES of course. And the GOP along with their friends in the media and celebrities all cheer the violent thugs who want to stop freedom of speech IF they don’t like it.

The GOP hate us as much as ANTIFA or else they’d be standing up against this but **CRICKETS**

The mayor said he has spoken with the Southern Poverty Law Center for guidance...

Why not just call the anarchists directly for instructions?

Cut out the middle man.

“The mayor said he has spoken with the Southern Poverty Law Center for guidance on how to handle events involving white supremacists.”

The SPLC is one of the biggest racist organizations in the country.

Tell the cops to stop any Democrat a—holes with masks and ISIS gear at the gate and they won’t have any problems.

The Southern Poverty Law Center has no credence, nor standing the courts, Department of Justice or FBI during any administration, as I understand it. Why did Boston seek them out?

Good let him waste his money to some group stuck in 1953 chasing all those white supremacists boogeymen.
Meanwhile the real criminal element and terrorist groups get coddled by these leftards.
