Estimates of the crowd size in Boston today say there were maybe THIRTY (30) Alt-Knucklehead marchers. Compare that to the estimate of THIRTY THOUSAND (30,000) counter demonstrators.
A thousand to one!

There will be no war though they don't have the intestinal fortitude.

Boston is not a good town to be a Nazi asshole in. Word will get around pretty quickly.

(111,255 posts)I was there when there were 100,000 anti war demonstrators crammed onto the Common. Big crowds assemble fast and if they're lefty crowds, stay pretty orderly--no rushing a stage and only minor shoving fights when someone's foot gets stomped on. Those bozos are probably going to think they'll be safe in their Dockers and polo shirts at the bars later on.
Uh, no, guys. I'd better warn you that the hockey stick is the neighborhood weapon of choice.
