Alt-Left protesters gathered Saturday on Boston Common in opposition to a Free Speech rally gave a raucous heroes welcome to several dozen black-clad Antifa thugs marching in formation through the protesters.
Video of the heroes welcome was posted by Vox reporter Alex Ward with the observation, “Most counterprotestors are applauding and cheering antifa on.”

The video is taken from a distance, but the black-clad Antifa thugs can be seen moving through the crowd as loud cheers from those near them welcome their arrival.
Ward’s report on the rally, comprising of interviews with nine Free Speech rally supporters and protesters featuring an interview with the woman seen in his photograph holding a sign supporting free speech for all, can be read at this link.

The Antifa thugs cheered by the Alt-Left protesters attacked Boston police officers with urine bottles, rocks and other harmful objects.
#BPD is asking individuals to refrain from throwing urine, bottles and other harmful projectiles at our officers.
