The Boston Free Speech Rally, organized by agroup known as the Boston Free Speech Coalition, invited libertarians, conservatives, traditionalists, classical liberals, (Donald) Trump supporters or anyone else who enjoys their right to free speech. The groupfully distanced itself from the events in Charlottesville last weekend, after violence broke out between a white supremacist rally andAntifa. <\/p>\n
Contrary to a lot of the rumors out there, the purpose of the rally is to denounce the kind of political violence that we have seen a sort of rising tide throughout the country, and particularly most recently in Charlottesville, organizer John MedlartoldCNN affiliate WBZ. <\/p>\n
Speakers attending the rally include former Infowars reporter Joe Biggs, Republican congressional candidate Shiva Ayyadurai, andLibertariancongressional candidateSamson Racioppi. Other invited speakers, such as commentator Gavin MacInnes and Tim Gionet (also known as Baked Alaska) decided not to attend. <\/p>\n
However, Bostons Mayor Marty Walsh confirmed that over 500 police officers will be deployed to oversee the event to prevent any potential violence, as the local Black Lives Matter (BLM) chapter andANSWER Coalition Boston have receivedinterest in planned counter-protests. <\/p>\n
It went from a few hundred to well over 1,000 to now roughly 3,000 pretty quickly, said ANSWER Coalition Boston organizer Nino Brown. There are about 10,000 interested in our event, according to Facebook. <\/p>\n
Meanwhile, a BLM-organized demonstration called Fight Supremacy saw similar levels of interest, raising more than $20,000 by Thursday night, while expecting over 10,000 attendees. <\/p>\n
Boston Police CommissionerBilly Evans confirmed that authorities would be watching the crowd really closely. <\/p>\n
I hope anyone who protests and is marching is doing it for the right reason, Evans said. Unfortunately, I think theres going to be a few troublemakers here. <\/p>\n
