Here are the Top 15 Most Epic Signs From Today’s Anti-Racism Counter Protest In Boston
After the violence that erupted in Charlottesville, Virginia last weekend, authorities and the media were bracing for the worst at the scheduled white supremacist “Free Speech” rally in Boston today. What they got instead was a celebration of tolerance and unity among the 15,000 counter protesters on the streets surrounding the Common.
With less than 50 white supremacists turning out – small enough for the entire group to fit inside the small gazebo in the center of the sprawling park – the counter protesters easily drowned out the message of hate and intolerance coming from the “Free Speech” rally, forcing a quick and merciful end to the controversial event.
But the party continued anyway, and we have the photos to prove it. Here are 15 of the best signs we spotted on social media.
15. Racists for refugees.
14. Game of Thrones pun.
13. Killing them with kindness
