    If you're set on inciting violence, you don't want to show your face for fear of legal repercussions. It makes total sense. It's pretty clear evidence that the people who show up like that are just there to stir **** up. On the flip side, it should also make it clear that folks without their faces covered are not antifa and should bear any of the associated blame that some folks like to heap on the "violent alt-left."

    I personally think that people at (counter-)protests/rallies should be required to not cover their faces, in the interest of safety.

    Yeah, the racists seem to proudly put their racism on display for all to see (except when they wear their Klan hoods) whereas Antifa's thing is to not be identified. I think they just don't want to get arrested, and the Klansmen just don't care about being shunned by polite society. Who knows? They're all a bunch of freaks. They need to bone up and simmer down.

    let's pray the Nazis don't attack the counter-protestors again.

    cause if they do, there's a good chance someone is gonna die.

    :(

    I think if you're going to protest at all, have the balls to show your face, while you show you are standing on your principals.

    Reading the article, (I know, words troubles) it seems the goal of those counter protesters is to shut the rally down...

    I wonder what that means?

    Hugs all around?

    Not to come off as 'that guy' but seems like those antifa aren't strong enough in their convictions.

    Or what the truth likely is, that they're simply anarchist asshats.

    After the Tsarnaev brothers, I think the Boston PD won't be in the mood for much nonsense and will step to any violence quickly. Boston Cops like the NYPD are quite well versed in dishing out lumps of knowledge. Anyone wearing a mask should be immediately detained and their Identity checked and recorded.

    I know what it is. It appears that you just made a post that you can't defend though. You simply assumed that because these 2 work at very liberal Harvard they can't have anything to do with violent rioters. That's simply not true.

    Aren't they a group of fascist socialist thugs that enforce their opinions wearing masks and carrying bats?

    I was actually wondering the same. The permit is issued allowing the gathering but it's not like the organizers turn in a list of who will be allowed to attend. It is, after all, still a public area.

    I looked up the speaker invited to speak and none of them have racist back grounds of any kind
    most are libertarians and believe in many of the same things you liberals believe in like abortion and the legalization of drugs

    see this what AntiFa does they label anyone they don't agree with a fascist and or racist so they then can justify using violence to shut them down and the liberal media will play right along claiming AntFa is in the right why wouldn't they be they are fighting fascism and racism

    The one side have a free speech rally, the other side calls them white supremacists. There's your good grief, right there.

    OK

    I have a challenge for any of you Liberals prove that N.F.S.M. the new free speech movement is in anyway fascist or racist?
    I just did a lengthy Google search and what I have come up with this group basically started by the UC Berkeley’s College Republicans and named after the first free speech movement started there in Berkley in the 60s
    It is in response to having their speaker they invited on to campus to speak to be shut down by the likes of AntaFa

    so once again N.F.S.M. the new free speech movement is not in anyway fascist or racist

    3 of the speakers have already backed out.
    That's funny because the "Brown Shirts" are going to be there with MAGA hats on. :D

    WHITE LIBERALS BE ADVISED:

    They also sent some “rules of engagement for white allies and accomplices”:

    • Serve as a buffer between white nationalists/police and people of color
    • Take up as little physical and rhetorical space as possible (don’t speak over BIPOC or clamor to get to microphone or bullhorn)
    • Follow direction from or uplift the most marginalized
    • Realize it’s what we do AFTER the rallies that will dismantle white supremacy. Relinquish privilege, resources, and space. Hold those in power accountable. Follow Black/femme leadership in your communities.

    LMFAO!

    Jump on those gas grenades and deep throat it to save people who matter!

    Pathetic.
