WE'LL LOOK AT THE FORECAST
COMING UP.
GOOD ADVICE, ERIC FISHER,
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
ONE OF THE KEY SPOKERS SET FOR
THIS WEEKEND -- SPEAKERS SET
FOR THIS WEEKEND'S FREE SPEECH
RALLY ON BOSTON COMMON SAYS HE
DIDN'T WANT THE EVENT TO GO ON,
AND HE SAYS IT HAS NOTHING TO
DO WITH THE KIND OF HATE WE SAW
IN CHARLOTTESVILLE THAT THE
MAYOR REFERENCED YESTERDAY.
DAVID ROBICHAUD IS LIVE IN
BOSTON WITH THE VERY LATEST.
REPORTER: PAULA, BRANDON
TOLD ME HE'S BEEN TRYING TO GET
IN TOUCH WITH THE GOVERNOR AND
THE MAYOR, AND TO TELL THEM HE
BELIEVES HOLDING THE RALLY
WOULD BE TOO DANGEROUS BECAUSE
HE SAYS THE MISSION IS
MISUNDERSTOOD.
THE ENVIRONMENT HAS JUST
BECOME SO HOSTILE AND SO TOXIC
THAT I AM, I AM, UM, COMPLETELY
CONCERNED FOR, UM, THE CITY OF
BOSTON.
REPORTER: BRANDON NAVAUM HAS
BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO
SPEAKING AT BOSTON'S FREE
SPEECH RALLY ON SATURDAY, BUT
NOT ANYMORE.
HE SAYS PEOPLE UNFAIRLY
ASSOCIATED HIS EVENT WITH THE
NEO-NAZIS AND OTHERS WHO HELD
THE FREE SPEECH RALLY DOWN IN
CHARLOTTESVILLE THAT ENDED IN
TRAGEDY.
I KNOW THE ORGANIZERS HAVE
RECEIVED DEATH THREATS, AND
THERE HAVE BEEN TERRIBLE AND
HORRIBLE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN
SAID ABOUT ME, UM, ONLINE.
REPORTER: DARNELL WILLIAMS
OF THE URBAN LEAGUE TELLS ME HE
BELIEVES THE ORGANIZERS ARE
DOING TOO LITTLE TOO LATE, AND
HE'S HELPING ORGANIZE UNITY
MARCHS THIS SATURDAY LIKE THE
ONE HELD IN CAMBRIDGE LAST
NIGHT.
I WOULD SAY THEY WILL BE IN
A POSITION OF SAYING WE'RE
BOSTON STRONGER, THAT WE ARE
STANDING AGAINST HIT, STANDING
AGAINST -- HATE, STANDING
AGAINST NEO-NAZIS, AND
ANTISEMITISM.
THAT MEANS WE'RE NOT MARCHING
AGAINST THEM, WE'RE MARCHING IN
PRO-UNITY OF OURSELVES.
REPORTER: BRANDON, WHO SAYS
HIS ORGANIZERS HAVE NOTHING TO
DO WITH THE PEOPLE IN
CHARLOTTESVILLE AGREES.
THE GREATEST ACT OF FREE
SPEECH RIGHT NOW THAT WE COULD
POSSIBLY SEE WOULD BE TO CANCEL
THIS EVENT AND LISTEN TO THE
FREE SPEECH OF THOSE WHO HAVE
BEEN HURT BY THE TERRIBLE
TRAGEDY IN CHARLOTTESVILLE.
REPORTER: BRANDON TOLD ME
HE'S UPSET THAT POLITICIANS AND
COMMUNITY LEADERS ARE MAKING
THE ASSUMPTION THAT THIS WILL
TURN INTO A HATE RALLY ON
SUNDAY.
HE'S ENDORSING AN INDIAN-
AMERICAN CANDIDATE FOR U.S.
SENATE, SO HE FINDS IT IRONIC
