It’s a great feeling watching Nazis and white supremacists fail. And this weekend we got to see just that. What started out as a “free (hate) speech” rally, turned into a magnificent counter-protest.
Just one week after the horrific atrocities committed in Charlottesville, the alt-right decided to make a stand in Boston. Except, only a few dozen people showed up to the Boston Commons in support of the cause. However, thousands did show up in resistance, to prove that Boston has no time for hatred. And many did that with some fantastic and funny signs in hand.
Check out our favorite signs from the counter-protest in Boston.
And people on Twitter chimed in, to mock the failed Boston white supremacist rally too.
Love that you could fit all of the Boston white supremacist marchers in a single UberXL.

Hey Donald,
These “anti-police agitators” in Boston are Americans peacefully protesting against your Neo-Nazi pals.
Signed,

I’m so glad I’ve never had to remind my friends to not bring their Nazi flags, which they own, along with them to events. pic.twitter.com/3AJWx4VEA6
