Neo-Nazis are emboldened to the point of massing in some areas, the fact that some counter protestors are a little overzealous in the face of that is frankly an irrelevance.

Now, I've just read a bit about what happened in Boston but from my reading the group that set up the rally denounced hate, from the guardian article:

"Boston Free Speech released a statement to the Guardian saying they would not offer a platform to racism or bigotry. “We denounce the politics of supremacy and violence,” the statement said.”

So in that first part it's pretty clear they are trying to distance themselves from the Neo-Nazis. As I said I've just read a bit about this in the news so from what I know this was just a conservative group trying to hold a rally. .

You missed the second part there:

Nevertheless, some far right activists had at one point been invited to speak at the rally, before later dropping out over fears for their own safety.

Hardly just a conservative group, they invited far right activists.

Far right does not equal Nazi's but nice try there.

From the looks of the photos they seem to be libertarians (I'm going by the Don't tread on me flags).

The article mentions Nazi's several times but only in relation to the counter protestors being anti-Nazi, which is obviously meant to imply that they were there to fight Nazi's even though there don't seem to have been any Nazis there.

Here's some more photos from the rally...

I don't see any Nazis.


Edit: I just want to clarify something here as I think we're going off topic.

I don't want people to think I'm supporting these right wing nuts here, I'm just saying that violence committed on anyone at these sort of events is wrong, and it's wrong to say that just because these guys were right wing it's ok to come out and mace them or throw bottles of piss etc.

Too much focus on poor technology, the crew poorly trained or possibly over tired?

US Ship: Please divert your course 0.5 degrees to the south to avoid a collision.

CND reply: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.

US Ship: This is the Captain of a US Navy Ship. I say again, divert your course.

CND reply: No. I say again, you divert YOUR course!

US Ship: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS CORAL SEA*, WE ARE A LARGE WARSHIP OF THE US NAVY. DIVERT YOUR COURSE NOW!!

CND reply: This is a lighthouse. Your call.
