Now confirmed a number of arrests today, and this person seems to be the latest person there. if i could ask you, brian, just along the lines of, you know, the folks that were seeing out there today, many of the counterprotesters have sort of adopted or have gone out under the name of antifa, this movement of activists who sort of track and follow white supremacists in order to fight them. were seeing them today in boston. we saw them at berkeley in april. we saw them in charlottesville last wee...

Counterprotesters. you know, as i look around the crowd here of thousands of people, its mostly counterprotesters. i dont really see a huge number of police mingling with the crowd. that said, im sure there are plainclothes officers walking around and the police presence here is very heavy. theyre just not threaded through the crowd. >> evan allen, our eyes on the ground at the moment right there where that rally is trying to get under way with "the boston globe." thank you very much, evan, for ...

Who in a moment that was stunning, even by trump standards, went off script at trump tower to defend the white nationalists in charlottesville. to equate their actions with those of the anti-racism activists who oppose them. >> not all of those people were neo-nazis. believe me. not all of those people were white supremacists by any stretch. >> you had very bad people in the group, but you also had people that were very fine people. on both sides. >> trumps words prompted mitt romney to demand t...

There were 40,000 or so protesters, counterprotesters out there today. and i believe 27 were arrested. thats about 0.7%. so why given the decisive week that we have, given the disaster of a response that the president had to charlottesville focusing on -- having a false moral equivalence as far as im concerned with the counterprotesters in charlottesville. why would he choose when he could have today chosen to give a supportive, unifying message there, to focus on the 0.1% of bad actors? it goes...

Approaching 40 past the hour. i want to give you an aerial look of things in boston. just because theres some empty space on that street does not mean things have calmed down at all. there are a number of anti-protesters, counterprotesters that are making their way to the boston commons where the free speech rally is scheduled to be held. it is a very slow process because they are massive in number. there is estimated to be upwards of 20,000 people in the counterprotest, which will definitely dw...

Counterprotests, the emotions on that side are trumping everything really. im looking around and almost every single person i see is a counterprotester even though i am at a point where rally goers have concentrated. so theyre just way, way outnumbered. >> you know, evan, thats something that garrett haake said the police are anticipating. they are vastly outnumbered, those who the the free speech rally and the counterprotesters. youre watching things develop. do you have concern at all for the ...

Jews will not replace us! >> saturday, mayhem in charlottesville. violent clashes between the white nationalists and counterprotesters. a driver rams his car into a crowd, killing 32-year-old counterprotester heather heyer. that afternoon, president trump says this. >> we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence on many sides. on many sides. >> on many sides. outrage spreads over president trumps failure to blame the deadly violence on white...

Needs to take his job seriously. >> well leave it there. everybody thank you. we appreciate it. one week after those violent and deadly protests in charlottesville, hundreds gathered in virginia today to honor virginia state trooper. they were killed last saturday when their helicopter crashed while they were patrolling the clashes between white nationalists and the counterprotesters in charlottesville. virginia governor was at the service today and he gave an emotional eulogy for the man who ...

Today. >> can you -- the perimeter between the protesters and the counterprotesters rally. how far back -- [ indiscernible ]. >> well, i think it was set up that way for a few reasons. number one, we didnt want what happened in -- you know, in virginia to happen here. we didnt want them at each others throat. also, there was a lot of talk in the week leading up about bottles being thrown with urine at our officers and i wanted to make sure that you know you had to -- you had to good arm to throw...
