The original lineup cancelled the night before. Key speaker Augustus had to cancel due to the counter protesters. This is what he said in VA where that woman was killed by your KKK.


"White nationalist leader Richard Spencer credits Invictus with writing the first draft of the "Charlottesville Statement", which Spencer said should be compared to the Port Huron Statement in 1962.

Among the key tenets of Friday's statement are that "Jews are an ethno-religious people distinct from Europeans," "Whites alone defined America as a European society and political order," "the so-called 'refugee crisis' is an invasion, a war without bullets, taking place on the fields of race, religion, sex and morality. At stake is Europe's very identity," "we oppose feminism, deviancy, the futile denial of biological reality, and everything destructive to healthy relations between men and women," and "Leftism is an ideology of death and must be confronted and defeated."

Bring them to your home. That's your business. Clearly they were not wanted here.

Compare that to the attitudes elsewhere and you get some idea of what New England is about.
Western Mass is hardly representative of all of New England.

It's 100x more representative of Boston/Cambridge than Fitchburg.

New England is pretty much the same all over, so much so that we could almost be our own country (and believe me, we have considered that since November.)

Seems the conservative free speech crowd were peaceful but the counter protestors supported by the press were violent with the cops and others.

So basically every liberal/progressive kook cause is relevant to the "counter protestors"? What does GMO's and Monsanto have to do with anything? These people really need to get a life.

You could certainly add NY and NJ to that mix. Probably most of Pa. also.

You should go view the DC protests, every one of them has an assortment of causes they are protesting, and seems it comes down to Trump is the cause of all of them.

What about opposing gun laws between northern/southern NE states?
