Fascists to hold another tiny rally on the Common; counter-protesters will no doubt outnumber them again

I actually have things to do this weekend, but I understand that the weather may be nice. Worse things to do with a pretty weekend day than heckling idiots...

... mostly idealists who are offended by letting Illinois Boston Nazis have unfettered speech. Though I'm sincerely hoping for crazy signs like the Westport Baptist counterprotesters (remember "God Hates Shrimp"?).

I predict there will be more police than participants at the Bandstand. Like always.

Apologies to Camus

“It was as if that great rush of anger had washed me clean, emptied me of hope, and, gazing up at the dark sky spangled with its signs and stars, for the first time, the first, I laid my heart open to the tender indifference of the Hub of the Universe.”

Poetry to a cynic’s ear.

Almost up to the level of the old Arcata Eye, which is sorely missed.

I get the impression that Adam intentionally avoided typing out the group’s name, and I will do the same, but the Facebook event page linked above spills the beans in the first paragraph.

And yes, it’s the lame white supremacist organization that harbors two noted insurrectionists and whose members routinely sue the city because their tender, fragile feelings were hurt when Marty Walsh accurately described speakers at their “free speech” rally as Nazis.
