I actually clicked on this thread first this morning to post this, but saw your post instead...In my workplace a LOT of my coworkers are the liberal, social justice warrior, champion of freedom blah blah types (ugh/puke. but it's a great paycheck and steady employment)..I'd be interested in knowing the percentage of attendees (on either side of the police line) who are actually from the boston area, and how many are traveling here for the fight.
This whole week in there has been brjtaly, has been all talk about their rally, their anti-hatred (even though they HATE me and HATE everyone else who doesn't think what they think) counter march, etc etc..Yesterday I asked several of them, individually, why is it that they're "coming in from the suburbs to a rally in Boston". They all answered with a quizzical "Um, cuz that's where I live" reply.
(me): "But I don't understand - why do you live so far outside the city? Why don't you move to Dorchester or Roxbury? You'd save a lot of time and gas money, be able to hop a train, be downtown in minutes. Why do to live in Concord? (Belmont, Sudbury, Wayland, Hingham, etc etc)... Why don't you live in Chelsea? The rent and home prices are a lot lower. Why do you live way out in on the Newton-Wellesley line?" (etc etc)...
Every single one of them offered basically the same response: "Whatever dude".. and/or "F*ck off" and/or they offered a deer-in-the-headlights no reply (and then they turned and walked away and immediately told one of their pals what a complete a*shole I am).
I know a couple of people who work in the Mission Hill/Longwood Medical area a but one lives in Canton, the other in Stoughton. Both are raging liberals, both will probably be throwing insults (and/or their rolled up balls of their own poo-poo) at the free speech "right wingers" today on the Common.. On a Friday at rush hour it is literally a NIGHTMARE trying to access the Southeast Expressway from, say, the Beth Israel Hospital. It would be MUCH easier and quicker to simply go up and over/around Mission Hill, to Columbus Ave, then Seaver Street (runs beside Franklin Park), then Blue Hill Ave through Mattapan, then through Milton to Stoughton or Canton...Yet both sit in absolute brutal traffic on the Expressway...Why?
"Blue Hill Ave? I'm not going that way! Screw that it's too dangerous!" (etc etc)... But I voted for Trump (actually against Hillary), and therefore I'm a bigoted, hateful, racist Nazi.
