Thousand Rally in Boston

The small band of "Free Speech Rally" demonstrators that were slated to speak in the Boston Commons this weekend disbanded early after they were confronted by thousands of counter-protesters shouting anti-Nazi and anti-KKK slogans.

The rally organizers insisted they have no connection to the violent protests in Charlottesville, VA., in which white nationalists clashed with counter-protesters and left one dead and many injured after a vehicular attack.

Many counter-protesters insisted that. though they supported the rights to free speech for everyone, they hoped that the turnout would show that most Americans have no sympathy for the racist and anti-semitic rhetoric of the Alt-right.

"They will speak but their ideas will die in this sunlight, today."
