Three headliners scheduled to speak at a far-right rally in Boston on Saturday backed out Monday, casting doubt on the event amid strong opposition by city officials worried about a repeat of the bloodshed in Charlottesville.

Augustus Invictus, an Orlando activist who took part in the Charlottesville rally, said organizers of Boston’s rally texted him on Monday and said it was necessary to cancel the event “from a PR standpoint,’’ after the violence in Virginia.

Invictus, who attracted support from white supremacists when he ran for the US Senate as a Libertarian in Florida in 2016, said organizers indicated they were also worried about statements he has made espousing support for a “second American civil war.’’

9. you are welcome. I think there was a woman Fairchild? last name that was going to speak also but she

13. Saved this from the other day...I think you 're thinking of Cassandra Fairbanks?

[gratuitous]

10. Baked Alaska still sobbing from getting maced?

"Well, we were going to battle for our rights, but bad PR (not that dead woman) have stopped us cold."

2. "..from a PR standpoint..."

Not because they killed someone.

Fucking nazis.

14. A bunch of white, greying academics, soccer moms, and POC fought back

in Cville -- which surprised these fucks. The Cville folks also worked well with local and national Antifa. If these fuckhead Nazis go to Boston, or Richmond like they want, the locals and cops will kick their pasty cowardly asses (and the actual real gangs in Richmond).

I do not get why Kessler hasn't been arrested for conspiracy, esp since news of teh weapon caches hidden around Cville has broken.

5. Permitting hate speech hung on the mantel of free speech is an abuse of free speech but that is

how America chose to roll....now come the consequences.

I thought they couldn't get worse than the skinhead look but I was clearly wrong.

The Fascist. For real.

15. He literally thinks he is a god, and also kills animals

[herding cats]

12. They're worried about lawsuits.

They don't want to be the next Tom Metzger, that's all they're concerned with.
