That would be a lot of people, raining from redneck Joe who thinks blacks should be denied the vote due to their skin color, to professor Bob who thinks blacks need extra points on a college application package due to their skin color.

But it doesn't seem like too many racists had the courage of thier convictions today in Boston, though.
That's right. Talk about snowflakes.

I don't know the specifics of the biker situation. Never heard of it.
According to you, but your morality and principles do not extend past your own nose.

There are many instances where violence is warranted and condoned. Say I find some adult male trying to lure my toddler for his insidious purposes. Killing him would be justified as far as I'm concerned.

So called progressives have shown how backwards they truly are as they seek to silence dissenting viewpoints. Progs are like a sick cult who seek to stamp out all views that go against their dogmatic beliefs. We are in the midst of a true culture war.

15k people with nothing better to do come out to "protest" five free speech advocates. This is why America needs to be made great again.

Looks like America was already great, before Trump and his deplorables tried to ruin it.

Thousands of people in Boston coming out against white supremacy sounds pretty great to me.

It's a nice, pleasant late summer day and it was in a park in a big city. That's where a lot of these same people would have been anyway. Best to think of some other reason to complain.
