[Magdalen] Boston "Free Speech Rally"

[Charles Wohlers]

The Globe has numerous reports on this. They say there are ~50 people on the 
"free speech" rally, and the crowd for the counter demonstration stretched 
~2 miles down the street.

My favorite sign was "ALT-RIGHT DELETE"

I'm getting tweets from friends along the route.
Apparently the "free speech" contingent is outnumbered 100-to-one.
One of my friends posted video of the marching band leading the
parade from Roxbury and marchers jitterbugging in the streets.

Because irony is everywhere,
some of the "free speech" demonstrators have gathered in front of the
Robert Gould Shaw
memorial.
