BOSTON A week after a white supremacist at a rally in Virginia killed one person and injured more than a dozen others, thousands of counterprotesters in Boston turned out to oppose participants of a self-described free speech rally with a message of their own: White supremacy has no place in this country.

Crowds marched to gather at the historic Boston Common park, where the rally was being held, with swarms of people chanting make racists afraid again and who defends the Nazis? Trump defends the Nazis! The rally remained peaceful, and the number of counterprotesters dwarfed the dozens or so of those who came in support of the event, organized by members of the so-called alt-right.

One aerial video of the demonstration appeared to show free speech protesters gathered under a veranda with a large crowd of counterprotesters standing across the lawns surrounding the park.

This is the first video I've seen that really shows the disparity between the "free speech" rally and the thousands of counter-demonstrators pic.twitter.com/Lca2J3vhsc

Evan McMurry (@evanmcmurry) August 19, 2017

On Twitter, President Donald Trump slammed the rally as having many anti-police agitators. Later, he praised the protesters in Boston, but did not specifically identify which group of demonstrators his message was intended for.

I want to applaud the many protesters in Boston who are speaking out against bigotry and hate, the president tweeted. Our country will soon come together as one!

Looks like many anti-police agitators in Boston. Police are looking tough and smart! Thank you.

#BPDUpdate : BPD reports additional arrests from today. New total for arrests = 33

Boston Police Dept. (@bostonpolice) August 19, 2017

Organizers of the Boston Free Speech Rally, including Fitchburg State University senior film major John Medlar , stressed that the intention of the event was to maintain that every individual is entitled to their freedom of speech and defend that basic human right.

In a Facebook post , the group added that it would not be offering our platform to racism or bigotry and has repeatedly disavowed any connection with the Charlottesville, Virginia, protesters.

There was some confusion Saturday when Medlar didnt immediately show up. Police delayed allowing demonstrators to enter their permitted part of the park.

Ron Villareale came dressed in vintage soldier clothing for the free speech rally. He said the violence in Charlottesville has nothing to do with Boston, it was a thousand miles away.

"I'd be surprised if there's six KKK members in all of Massachusetts" says cosplaying right-winger who refused to show me his sign. pic.twitter.com/ej2bKbCb9O

Sebastian Murdock (@SebastianMurdoc) August 19, 2017

Villareale said he didnt know who the speakers were for the right-wing event, but he decided to show up and defend free speech.

He carried a sign with him but refused to show HuffPost.

If theres six KKK members in the entire state of Massachusetts Id be surprised, Villareale said. This isnt a Klan rally.

Odell Ruffin, a 58-year-old black Bostonian who showed up to protest, said hes tired of the BS.

Here they dont have their torches, their shields, they dont have cans of tear gas. They say they want to make this country theirs. It was never theirs, he said. They dont own this country. Slavery is over but they want it to still continue. I guess its one of those situations where they feel cheated that theyve lost something they stole.

After the free speech rally was abandoned, Boston Police Superintendent-in-Chief William Gross told counterprotesters to remain positive and celebrate their victory against hate. He also told the anti-racism demonstrators that he was proud of them.

They want to put us down because of what we look like, our lifestyles, where we came from its not happening in Boston, Gross said in front of reporters.

More from Chief Gross as he tells protesters to keep it positive, take their victory against hate. @7News pic.twitter.com/6yHpGPweCm

Alex DiPrato 7News (@AlexDiPrato) August 19, 2017

Despite the rally promoters assurance that bigotry wouldnt be accepted Saturday, Augustus Invictus a known Holocaust denier and an organizer of Charlottesvilles white supremacist rally was invited to attend the Boston rally, but later pulled out.

Were inviting him to speak about First Amendment issues, Medlar told CBS Boston regarding his decision to include the conspiracy theorist. Some people can be wrong on some issues and right on others.

The issue about which Invictus happens to be wrong is the slaughter of millions of Jews and other groups at the hands of Nazis. Invictus also spoke at the groups last rally in May, telling those present to arm themselves for the coming civil war.

The member of Proud Boys , a group known for brawling with antifascist protesters, told WBUR his appearance was ultimately canceled.

The right doesnt threaten rallies to shut them down, Invictus told WBUR . The right never threatens violence. The right only responds with violence when attacked.

Gavin McInnes , who heads the Proud Boys, and internet provocateur Tim Baked Alaska Gionet were also scheduled to speak but later backed out.

Last week, a car driven by a white nationalist mowed down more than a dozen counterprotesters in Charlottesville after neo-Nazis swarmed the city . Heather Heyer, a 32-year-old paralegal passionate about social justice, was killed.

Heyers mother, Susan Bro, said at her daughters memorial service that white supremacists tried to kill my child to shut her up .

Well guess what? Bro said. You just magnified her.

Fears of violence at Saturdays event spurred Boston Mayor Marty Walsh (D) to ask organizers to postpone the rally and state that hate groups arent wanted in Boston.

I didnt want them to get a permit , quite honestly, but we also believe in free speech in our country, Walsh said.
