A week after violent protests rocked Charlottesville, Va., Boston police are implementing a tight security plan on Saturday as a “free speech” rally with right-wing speakers is expected to converge with a large counter-protest on the city’s historic Common.

“If anything gets out of hand, we will shut it down,” Boston Mayor Marty Walsh said at a news conference Friday. “We’re going to respect their right to free speech. In return, they must respect our city.”

The deployment of 500 police officers, extra security cameras and barriers separating the opposing rallies are among the steps the city is taking to avoid a repeat of last weekend’s violence in Charlottesville.

The city also banned participants from carrying weapons, sticks or flagpoles.

“There will be zero tolerance for any violence,” Police Chief William Evans said at Friday’s briefing with the mayor.

Walsh urged people to stay away from the Boston Common, the nation’s oldest park, where a group called “Boston Free Speech” will be holding its rally at noon Saturday.

Among those expected to speak are Kyle Chapman, a San Francisco Bay Area resident who has developed an online following using the moniker “Based Stickman.” Chapman, who carries a stick and shield during protests and wears a motorcycle helmet, was arrested after he clashed with protesters in Berkeley earlier this year.

Coinciding with the Boston rally is a counter-protest, called “Fight White Supremacy,” in which participants will march from Roxbury, a historically black neighborhood in Boston, to the Common.

In a preview to Saturday’s events, a candlelight vigil was held Friday evening in Boston at the New England Holocaust Memorial. Participants lighted candles decorated with photographs of 32-year-old Heather Heyer, who was killed in Charlottesville. A driver, whom police identified as a man with neo-Nazi sympathies, drove a car through a crowd of activists, striking Heyer and leaving 19 others hospitalized.

Demonstrations to show solidarity with the city of Charlottesville are planned for Saturday in cities across the country, including New Orleans and Dallas. Authorities in both cities said they will deploy extra officers to maintain security.


This will be an interesting situation for sure. I do like the bolded quote from the mayor though -- that's the right position for anyone to be taking.

So serious question. Why is there only violence at alt right rallys and not at liberal rallys? Seems like the left likes to incite violence at opposing rallys and the right leaves the left alone.

Will they be chanting "death to blacks" then point at black people while yelling "die you ******r!"?

Because that'd be inciting violence.

Not like it matters though, if anything happens it'll all be the counter-protesters fault for showing up with or without a permit.

That would be a direct threat and is not covered by the first amendment, so the police should take action if that happens.

This happened in my home town in Massachusetts when I was in high school. Our public library has a meeting room in the basement and Nazi's showed up to protest the incarceration of one of their leaders. The whole town showed up to protest. Crazy

Unfortunately, free speech absolutely does cover hate speech, just not threats. The second they start making threats, shut them down legally through police intervention.

Nope. Liberal rallies are very violent. The left shoot cops at BLM rallies like they did in Dallas last year.

They also beat and shoot random white motorists like they did at the Milwaukee riots last year.

I'm tolerant of conservatives exercising their right to rally without being harassed by deranged leftists who believe anyone who isn't a leftist is a "Nazi". Correct.

See when you say shit like that it completely invalidates your "point". Not only are you insinuating that "the left are violent and kill cops", it's intellectually dishonest to claim that murder was a member of BLM when there's proof after proof of him being disillusioned with them. Not to mention the DPD meeting and having a peaceful cookout WITH the BLM chapter right after the event where both sides came together with unity.

And you have the balls to get pissy at morons calling all Republicans Nazi's? Please

Counterprotesting isn't a violation of free speech. The whole point of freedom of speech is that it applies to everyone. You have the right to be an asshole, but don't get indignant when people exercise their right to call you one.

Interesting how the shooting and beating of white motorists was never shown on MSM all that much. Pretty bad video---very, very angry racist people in that video.

False, the agitators at Berkeley were mostly alt-right assholes.

And the left didn't incite violence in Charlottesville; only the right did that.

They're conservatives but the more extreme, vocal variety. The anti-Muslim, anti-refugee kind -- like Anne Coulter and Michelle Malkin if the organizer's twitter account is any indication. They still have a right to rally and that should be respected, but their fear-mongering views on Muslims and refugees must be condemned.
