This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
All of these counter protests should really just evolve into Parades, just make it a fun time and bring out the marching bands and colorful floats.

Some of those comments are giving me a headache when trying to process their stupidity.
And I'm back in the game!

The women's march was a fun time. I remember one woman carrying a sign pointing out that Trump's approval rating is lower then X-Men Origins: Wolverine's rottentomatoes score :lol
So many fucking people. Definitely more than Trump's inauguration, so I'm sure he's pissed.

FCC fines the networks for broadcasting swears. It's self-censorship sure but it's either that or get fined by the Feds.

If it's news they can usually get away with it.
But "local" news isn't really news anyways, it's infotainment.

So you're saying it's actually... GOVERNMENT CENSORSHIP?
I'm being tongue-in-cheek, don't worry.

Actually it should make you feel better.
think about the view of that giant crowd of physical bodies against this, and then think about the number of comments from people afraid of them, they're insignificant and dont matter, they have no impact outside of the computer screen.

Not playing devil's advocate..why would a flag pole be banned?

Probably cause it could be used as a weapon is my guess.

Seems silly. Anything can be a weapon. Just seems odd.

I guess the parade is not intending on marching to the Common.
They only gave them permission to march 2 miles and that's it.

look at some of the images from charlottesville and see what a lot of people are using as weapons. not odd at all.

Because Nazis beat the shit out of a black guy with them in Charlottesville.

Right, I'm ok with them being overly cautious though. Especially after Charlottesville. They were also making people remove sticks used to hold up signs as well.
Almost looks like people out to see the nazi enclosure at the zoo.

Do these free speech idiots think that free speech in the constitution means there are no consequences? All it means is that you are protected from the government locking you up to silence you. I am sick of these folks harping on about how everybody is trying to silence their free speech just because they are criticized for their terrible views. The counter protesters in charlottesville are also protected under the free speech clause and right to protest

Apparently Nazis don't crawl out of their parents basement till noon now a days. Five awkward white dudes and a few tated losers, one wearing a Tom Brady Jersey, cause you got to dress to impress!
Meanwhile 10,000 people of all walks of life counter protesting.
ANTIFA? There's 30 of them. They're handing out fish crackers and water to people and chanting a bit. This is what Nazis are scared of? Then, we got this.

One of the posts mentioned "The Rally's teenage organizer"...the "Free Speech" one or the counter? It's kinda confusing : /
It is pretty heartwarming to see so many people come together.

THe crowd of counter protesters is about to get A LOT bigger. The group that started in roxbury, thousands of people, should arrive at the common at like 12:30. It'll seriously look like some Game of Thrones Stannis backup flank from the air.
MEanwhile, the Nazi count is up to about 6.
To be honest, I don't think there's any television "news" that isn't infotainment.

At Berkeley, too. These nazi planned for months to bring solid poles and pin/staple flags to them so they "count" as flags but could be very quickly used as weapons.
They confiscating flag poles and tripods. Anything that can be used as a long arm weapon.
Looks like they patting down every Nazi entering the free speech zone. So I doubt many Nazis or the KKK will show up.

Apparently Nazis only like to look tough when they think there's no one around to challenge them.
