A controversial “free speech” rally is scheduled from noon to 2 p.m. at the Boston Common’s Parkman Bandstand. Boston Free Speech, the group organizing the rally, posted a list of rally speakers Friday.
The list includes Joe Biggs, who worked until recently for Infowars, the website founded by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones; and Kyle Chapman, known on the internet as “Based Stickman” and founder of the Fraternal Order of Alt-Knights, which is described by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a “new Alt-Right group of street fighters.” U.S. Senate candidate Shiva Ayyadurai is also scheduled to speak.
Organizers say they’re committed to holding a peaceful rally.
“If we are made aware, at any time, that hate groups are attending our rally we will ask them to exercise their free speech elsewhere,” the group said on Facebook Friday after a Boston Herald report that KKK members were planning to attend.
Thousands of people have RSVP’d online to two counter-protests: A “Fight Supremacy!” counter-protest and rally, which is set to start at 10 a.m. with a march from Roxbury to the Common, and a “Stand for Solidarity” counter-protest, starting at 11 a.m. in front of the State House. The two counter-protests are expected to join on the Common.
“Boston and Massachusetts are the home of some of the most important moments in the fight for freedom and equality in this nation’s history. Tomorrow is one more chapter in that honored tradition,” Baker said at a press conference Friday. “And we’re going to do everything we can to ensure that tomorrow is about liberty and justice and about freedom and peace, and yes, the right for people to peacefully gather and assemble.”
A large police presence is expected on the Common.

>The rally began at noon on Boston Common, and by 1:30 p.m., police tweeted: "'Free Speech' rally is officially over. Demonstrators have left the Common."
>Around the same time, helmeted police officers could be seen on news footage moving in to separate rally participants from counterdemonstrators. The event had been scheduled to end at 2 p.m
>Police Commissioner William Evans said the boisterous marchers far outnumbered the rally participants. Many of the latter were escorted out in police vans to keep them away from counterprotesters. Clashes erupted when platoons of officers came in to disperse the crowds.
>"We didn't want what happened in Virginia to happen here," Evans said. "We didn't want them at each other's throats."
>Shortly after 3:30 p.m. -- when many downtown thoroughfares had started to reopen even as pockets of counterdemonstrators remained on the streets -- Boston police via Twitter asked people to stop throwing "urine, bottles and other harmful projectiles at our officers." Police also said rocks were thrown at officers.

>TV cameras showed a group of boisterous counter-protesters on the Common chasing a man with a Trump campaign banner and cap, shouting and swearing at him. But other counter-protesters intervened and helped the man safely over a fence into the area where the conservative rally was to be staged. Black-clad counter-protesters also grabbed an American flag out of an elderly woman's hands, and she stumbled and fell to the ground.
