FNC’s Steve Harrigan: Anyone with a Trump Hat Quickly Surrounded by Counter-Protesters and Even Attacked

‘It was a real calm proceeding for the most part’

RUSH EXCERPT:

HARRIGAN: ">> Kelly impressive crowd. They marched 2 miles from Roxbury to Boston common ground here. Concerns that two sides could have a conflict but might be even wrong to speak about two sides here. Fewer than a 100 right-wing protestors and more than 15,000 on the other side. It was a real calm proceeding for the most part. There were two or three scuffles between police and protestors. The police took a soft approach throughout their visible presence was on bicycles without shields, without sticks but riot police were ready to come in and they did come on several occasions. We saw some brief scuffles here in the park about 20 arrests overall. Seemed like anyone willing to put on a trump hat was quickly surrounded by the counter-protestors and either removed from the scene or attacked. That’s one time we saw the riot police step in. But overall a very peaceful demonstration, the police were concerned about violence here. Their goal was to keep the two sides apart and the numbers on the one side never materialized. The energy, momentum has dissipated as most of the counter-protestors have put signs in the garbage cans or having a nice they in the park or heading out home."
