Free speech is dead in this country, unless you are Antifa, Anti-trump BLM, SNL, Jimmy Kimmel, etc etc. A conservative rally was shut down in SF CA , strictly because they didn't like the conservative message. They gave lip service to attempting to prevent violence, but notice, they never shut down the counter protesters. Antifa is allowed to indiscriminately destroy a college campus, and police stand down. We see Canada headed down that same path. If you are conservative, then you are a purveyor of hate speech. Our first amendment is under attack from the left, and if this continues, the result will be violent . The tolerant left.......what a joke.
Pro-Trump group cancels San Francisco rally as hundreds of counter protesters march on the streets

Thepro-Trump group PatriotPrayer canceled the“Freedom Rally,” as city leaders braced for the kind of protest that drew extremist groups to Charlottesville, Virginia earlier this month. The Oregon-based group then planned to hold a news conference instead — but that, too, did not happen after the city blocked the venue from the public.Meanwhile, hundreds of counter protesters gathered at a San Francisco park on Saturday morning and marched until the afternoon, according to media reports.
In a statement,Mayor Ed Lee said the march was peaceful. Police Chief Bill Scott told the San Francisco Chronicle that there were no major problems, aside from one public intoxication arrest.
“Today,the people of San Francisco, once again, peacefully united to reject hate and violence,” Lee said.
Organizers of the “Freedom Rally,” however, blamed the cancellation of their event on public officials who they say have falsely portrayed them as violent right-wing extremists intent on bringing hate to San Francisco. Speaking with reporters Saturday afternoon, Joey Gibson, founder of Patriot Prayer, also blamed“antifa,” referring to anti-fascist groups, and BAMN, or By Any Means Necessary, a left-wing group. He said the groups followed them throughout the day and kept them from holding events.
“Right now, we had to cancel the rally … It was the best thing to do for the city … because the way it was set up is that a lot of innocent people are going to get hurt,” Gibson told reporters. “It would’ve been a huge riot.”
“FreedomRally” was scheduled Saturday afternoon at Crissy Field, arecreHundreds of counterprotesters marched on the streets of San Francisco on Saturday, the same day that organizers of a right-wing group canceled their events and moved locations, saying they wanted to avoid a riot.ational area near the Golden Gate Bridge. After cancelingit, Gibson said his group planned to hold a news conferenceSaturday afternoon at Alamo Square Park to “talk about some of therhetoric in San Francisco.” But the city, suspicious of thegroup’s intentions, on Saturday morning built fences around thepark, where counterprotesters also planned to gather, CBSaffiliate KCBS reported.Gibson then wrote on Facebook he will hold an “indoor newsconference” and show up at “random spots” in the city to talkto residents.
Counter protesters later showed up at Alamo Square Park to protest the canceled news conference. Minor scuffles broke out between them and police officers, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.Some demanded to be allowed past police barricades. They chanted,“Let us in!” and, “Our streets!”
Tensions between Gibson’s group and city officials have been brewing over the past several days. Mayor Ed Lee on Wednesday condemned the decision by the National Park Service, which controls Crissy Field,to grant Gibson’s group a permit.
