Boson Green Party Global Warming Protest Turnout Low - Freezing Temperatures Thwart Climate Justice Activists - 21 Friday 2020


Boson MASS: A previously scheduled rally for "Climate Justice Now!" drew a small crowd next to North Wollaston Red Line T Station on Thursday, 20 February 2020.  The temperatures were below 20 degrees and many supporters who had indicated they would attend apparently decided to stay home or stay warm somewhere else. 

Rally organizers said, "We are in this struggle to save the planet for the long haul.  We do not measure success by the turnout for one protest on one unusually cold day." 

A speaker with a bullhorn addressed about a dozen and a half protesters.  Very few passers by stop to listen because of the brutal cold.

"Remember this local cold weather is just that, the weather.  We are interested in the climate as a whole.  It is very hot right now in Australia," a woman speaking told the crowd.

"Isn't it summer in Australia?" someone from the back of the crowd shouted.

"That is the season," the speakers shouted back.

The heckler responded, "Now I understand the true meaning of winter!"

'Islam Is Right About Gays' Leaflets Taped To Signs Around Town - Police Launch Manhunt - 28 Sept 2019

Boson, MA: Some residents are outraged that leaflets bearing the words "Islam Is Right About Gays" have been fixed to telephone poles and parking signs around the city.  One angry woman took a photo of the sign before ripping it down and bringing the leaflet to the police station to show police. "This is not 'free speech'" a visibly angry woman said.  "This is 'hate speech' aimed at both the Muslim race, and gay people." Police have said that they will see if there were any witnesses to the criminal trespassing committed when the papers were affixed to the utility poles, which are private property, and the street signs, which are owned by the city. City Councilor Ema Strickland said, "The blame for this type of hated is ultimately the fault of our Republican Mayor Welsh who is both Homophobic and Islamophobic.  Additionally this goes right to the top and I blame President Trump." Mayor Welsh said he had not seen any of
