Margaret Felice caught some MAGAts defending their success with women or something on the Common today.
Luke O'Neil was in the middle of it and captured the out-of-towners screaming into a megaphone and, in a couple of cases, getting arrested and being led off to the prisoner vans by the Earl of Sandwich.
In addition to a frog sign, one waved a large green flag based on the German Kriegsmarine flag from World War II (and another waved a World War II Japanese military flag, you know, the one they used in the attack on Pearl Harbor) as they screamed about "freedom."
Jack Smith IV captured their initiation rite, which involves punching a new member to the ground.
Boston Police mostly separated them from the competing antifa anti-protest protesters, who achieved a strategic victory by claiming the Soldiers and Sailors Monument hill, forcing the pickup-truck brigade to stay down by the Parkman Bandstand.

Mongo and the Free Speech movement
By Anonymous
Sun, 05/14/2017 - 9:10pm
This video was posted today on a thread about Boston "Free Speech Rally" yesterday. Was it shot in Boston?
I wish it included video of what happened right before this clip so we 'd know if mohawk guy-- Mongo --punching long-hair guy was self-defense or battery. In other words, who punched who first. In the video long-hair guy takes a defensive position. He does not know a punch to his face is coming. He is bracing himself from being pushed out of the way. Mongo is not the man Boston Police arrested.
It's shot by a person standing behind Mongo. Was it a friend or a bystander? If it was a friend, did he know what was coming?
From the comment section, readers of getwaypundit think this punch is a victory for the Free Speech movement.
Mongo was Alex Karras in Blazing Saddles. Link to video https://twitter.com/daveleifer/status/863781320190... embed won't work.
Hebrew Israelites?
By Damaged

Does anyone remember the Black Hebrew Israelites who would congregate at prominent locations Boston, stand in a circle while one member would stand in the center with a megaphone shouting random bits of theology and insults at passersby? I remember seeing them over twenty years ago at Central Square and Dudley Square and other places I can't remember. Although the group above and the BHIs are different types of racists they sound like they would get along with one another if not for each others' races.

Summertime must be just around the corner, all of the bug-outs (BHIs, fake monks, antifas, Frog/Trump people) are coming out of the woodwork! Although I haven't seen BHIs in Boston for quite some time, I did see them in SF last year. Do you remember those people who used to march in the Common and around Harvard Square in the 90s with the signs that said "Save The Planet, Kill Yourself"? Dadaists maybe?

I didn't understand a word their spokeman (were there ever any women in the group?). Their placards said something about the ten commandments being numbered more like a couple of hundred. The costumes were interesting; reminded me of a Cecil B. DeMille ancient Egyptian epic. They struck me more as giving interesting flavor to Central Square. If they were not serious they could have been actors for a Monty Python skit.

Otherwise, they don't have any ungrateful (self-respecting) US women around because they've all been mentally poisoned by lesbian feminists ... or is that feminist lesbians? In any case, they won't be getting any doors opened for them if they do because All Women are (tangled custom in-group pejorative) because they won't sleep with abusive creeps on demand!

I was happy fisticuffs were discouraged. Boston Police kept a line between Trump proud boys, alt-right and oathkeepers near the bandstand and Democratic Socialists, non-violent students and Antifa(cists) up the hill.
WCVB reported there were two people cuffed, a proud boy and the girl he punched. He did it right in front of the Boston Police.
Boston Globe:
A guy who was broadcasting a live feed named Tim Pool said he was threatened, which is the story on conservative blogs. They're saying he was assaulted aka yelled at. Same blogs are not reporting proud boy punching the girl in the face. Oh well, the right says the left is violent.

the right pulls that nugget out anytime they run out of arguments against socialism (so, frequently).

"Are the people who wave this flag into Trump or making fun?" Easy answer is of course, they're nazi racists like Trump. Truth is a little more complicated. Trump is neither racist nor anti Semitic.His followers run the gamut from people that had to vote for him to stop Hillary to, well, just about anyone heading right wing.
Problem is some 'progressives' are so twisted they can't think straight. Look at some of Swirl's insane rantings. Random caps, calling people 'mouth breathing neck beards', insults like that. People can read and they know what you think of them.
You want more Trump? That's how you get more Trump.
Esquire: "It's one thing to be confronted with this sort of empty, rudderless white supremacist rhetoric online, but to see it manifest into human form is alarming."
Considering the picture posted above... Oh, it must be a photoshop, it doesn't fit the narrative.
The whole 'Kekistan' thing is a reddit/4chan thing, incomprehensible to most people. Thank God. As far as the flag, from what I can tell it's similar to a Kriegsmarine flag, but with the colors reversed (green is the negative of red), no swastika in the middle and some hearts where the German Iron Cross would go. Real neo nazis tend to use real swastikas.
Apparently these folks tour the country, staging clashes with the antifa all over the place. There's a bunch of youtube vids of them engaged in conversation in Berkeley, with the cops not too close.
At least in Boston, the cops were between them or there would have been a 'bit of a scrum' as they say in England.

Also fun, the mama's boys yelling "Milk, milk, milk!" which, OK, is an American white-nationalist thing (because milk is white, and oh, they're so suave), but at this point in our American experiment, neo-Nazis and white nationalists have become one and the same.

They like to deflect by claiming to be a parody. But they forget that the definition of a parody does certainly not include actually supporting that which is "parodied".
Pepe shitposters very clearly support white nationalism, white supremacy etc. on any type of forum, notably including those where the extreme right is amongst themselves. It is nonsense to claim that a participant of a serious discussion is a parody while expressing the exact same opinions as everyone else there, in a clearly not parodistic, ironic or exaggerated fascion(sic).
It can't be said more clearly, being an outspoken racist or fascist isn't magically a parody just because the avatar includes a cartoon frog.

They won't be stopped by sitting on the floor and singing Kumbaya while they set up a beat down. They will be stopped by decisive self defense, humiliation resulting from losing an unfair fight, and memorable physical injuries inflicted by their prey.

It's obvious to me the "Free Speech Rally" is about power and part of that power is fear and intimidation including non-lethal violence.
I'm reminded of Donald Trump telling his flock at campaign rallies that if they took care of business like in the good ole days he'd pay their legal fees. we saw videos of supporters tee-ing off on protesters.
