"The rally comes just weeks after a demonstration on July 4 weekend by dozens of apparent white supremacists who marched on Boston's Freedom Trail and allegedly attacked a Black man"

Poor little basement-dwelling brainsless incel apes were probably just looking for a few like-minded buddies but townies got gentrified out decades ago and while there’s still plenty of hate in today’s JP it is expressed entirely in the form of self-loathing. If they wanted to hang out with hateful, racist, bigoted pr*cks like themselves in Boston they should have gone straight to 10 Washington in Dot.

Was this the protest?

Three people were arrested in Boston after a group of masked white supremacists clashed with counter-protesters at a “drag queen story time” event for kids on Saturday, reports said.
The protests began outside an event at Loring Greenough House, with videos showing members of NSC 131 chanting and holding a banner that said “PEDO SCUM OFF OUR STREETS,” video of the protest showed. Members wore hats, sunglasses and masks emblazoned with “131,” according to the videos.

Definitely looks like the same incident.

Looks like the DA is taking this increase in white supremacist activity seriously.

DA expands office due to white supremacist actions in Boston

https://www.wpri.com/new-england/mas...ons-in-boston/

"BOSTON (AP) — A district attorney in Massachusetts announced Monday he’s adding two positions to prosecute civil rights cases because he’s concerned about organized white supremacist actions in Boston this year and anticipates more unrest during upcoming elections.
The district attorney for Suffolk County, which includes Boston, announced the addition of civil rights prosecutors for district and superior court two days after three men were arrested at a rally in Boston.
District Attorney Kevin Hayden said it was a gathering of the group known as NSC-131, or the Nationalist Social Club. The group protested in the diverse Jamaica Plain neighborhood, outside a historic home that had just hosted a children’s drag queen story hour.
“It’s clear to me that Massachusetts and Boston have become target destinations for groups that spread hate,” he said in a statement.
RELATED: White supremacists are riling up thousands on social media
The Anti-Defamation League says NSC-131 is a New England-based neo-Nazi group.
Hayden said he’s adding staff and renaming the office’s civil rights team because there have been four organized white supremacist actions in Boston this year, a neo-Nazi group protest at the New England Holocaust Memorial in Boston last year, and recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions that have roiled the nation, with the possibility of more to come."

I’m not a white supremacist … but doesn’t “Drag queen story time” sound a bit odd?

Yes...there's a whole thread about this on the parents board here:

https://www.city-data.com/forum/pare...storytime.html

I think it seems like a strange venue to bring children to....most I would imagine are toddler age otherwise they'd be at school (i get that it's summer now). A 2 or 3 yr old probably isn't noticing that a man is dressed up as a woman so is this supposed to be some type of teaching moment? Who is the moment for?

Nope. Even my conservative brother brings his kids (3 and 6) to the local drag queen story time... just like he brings them to as many storytime opportunities as possible. If you don't want your children to participate, don't go. Don't ruin the opportunity to make reading fun for other kids.

I don't usually post or even read in this section because I'm from WMass and now live in CT BUT this Neo Nazi stuff is getting out of hand. The other day my sister who lives in Virginia Beach found a letter on her ex's driveway. (She was checking on the house while he and their two daughters are away.) It said stuff like Brandon and then there was another whole page with pictures of all Biden administration who are Jewish. Had a star of David next to each one. It said things about helping Israel and that everyone should join up to fight this.

She is not Jewish but it still upset her. I posted about it on the Virginia forum and only one reply--told me to tell her to just shred it. Nah, she's saving it to show her ex when he gets back and he can report it to the police. She also said there was something about it on tv that night, that lots of people are getting this hate mail. There seems to be a lot of Neo Nazi things in the last couple of years in her area and it continues. Sickening.

(I agree with drag queen story hour, btw. Just what for? I would leave the little kids to their innocence. No point in drag queen story hour, they aren't going to learn tolerance of drag queens from it and maybe these sexual abberations shouldn't be 100% mainstream anyway.)

Is there a reason parents can't read to kids themselves? We went to a few story times where the librarian read the kids books. We were already at the library for other reasons so we would listen in. Our library also does a story time where a dog comes along with the reader as well. I'm sure there's some Karen out there who is allergic to dogs and would be pissed about this.

I don't understand the drag time story thing or how finding it weird should ruin it for any other kids. It is odd to many people. Those people aren't going. Sounds like others still are. No one is trying to shut the thing down.

Dragqueen story time is just weird and whoever came up with the idea did it to create controversy. Why not have people dress up as the characters from the book they're reading from. I don't see drag queens walking around where i live so why do kids need to know about this ? I'd rather have someone with an accent or someone missing a leg do the story hour if we're really going to teach differences.
I read to my kids every night. I don't need someone else doing it for me.
