Large group, reportedly of white supremacist group The Patriot Front, marched through Boston

A large group of around 100 people or so, reportedly of the white supremacist group The Patriot Front, marched through the heart of downtown early Saturday afternoon.

A call came in at around 12:30 p.m. or thereabouts, which announced that a group had gone up to a rental truck parked in the area of the Haymarket MBTA station and off-loaded a number of shields and flags, many of which were U.S. flags, with at least one flown upside-down and many showing just the 13 stars in a circle for the original U.S. colonies, as well as flags featuring different designs.

“If you truly wish for safety, you will have it. But you can take nothing else with you,” an unmasked member of the group said through a bullhorn when the group stopped in front of the Boston Public Library among shouts from onlookers. “Not your home, not your family, not your liberty. There you will be alone with your safety in a rotted world.”

The group decamped at around 1:30 p.m. at Back Bay Station, according to a Herald photographer on the ground, where they then packed their materials back into a rental truck and left on the T.

Isn't there a nice plot of land they could just...have? Then they could live out their bizarre fantasies of "freedom."

The German people would've been wise to kill them. Oddly enough Germans used to laugh at them and consider it silliness. My mom and dad were teenagers living in Germany at the time and they both said we thought they were a joke and nobody took them seriously

That’s some pretty heavy sh#t right there!
