A white supremacist group took to Boston's "Freedom Trail" for a surprise march Saturday afternoon.

But you can take nothing else with you,” an unmasked member of the group reportedly told onlookers through a bullhorn in front of the Boston Public Library. There you will be alone with your safety in a rotted world.” Tempers flared between bystanders and a group of about 100 Patriot Front members, who wore beige khaki pants, blue shirt uniforms and white masks while wielding shields, according to The Boston Herald.

The group was seen marching along the Freedom Trail on Saturday, concealing their faces while wearing shirts that read: "Reclaim America." People in that group ...

Former UVA basketball standout Sam Hauser signed a three-year, $6 million deal with the Boston Celtics.

If Hauser can give the Celtics quality minutes with some reliable shooting, their chances of going back to the Finals will be even better. He also made 10 appearances in the G League with the Maine Celtics and averaged 16.9 points per game and shot 43.3% from beyond the arc.

The 6-foot-8 forward out of Virginia started his NBA career on a Two-Way contract with the Boston and Maine Celtics. After Boston created several open roster ...

With Hauser in the fold, and factoring in their trades, the Celtics now have 12 standard roster spots accounted for. The intention was always for the Celtics to re-sign Hauser to a longer deal. Look for Hauser to get more on-ball reps and to work as an individual creator. In 13 G League games (12 starts) with Maine, Hauser showed he can do more than be a standstill shooter. Now, Boston will use his Non-Bird rights to give Hauser a three-year contract. In his most extensive playing time, as the Celtics rested several regulars, Hauser knocked down 4-of-5 shot, including 3-of-4 from behind the arc.

The Celtics will keep hold of Hauser, who shot 43 percent from 3-point range both in 26 NBA appearances and 10 G League games last season.

Also, Spurs forward Danilo Gallinari indicated that he will sign a two-year, $13 million deal with Boston after clearing waivers, and center Luke Kornet agreed to re-sign on a two-year deal. So, always in the right spot, great team defender and knows how to use himself, his angles and a cerebral guy, not just offensively but defensively as well.” He also played in 10 games with Boston’s G League affiliate, the Maine Celtics, and averaged 16.9 points while connecting on 43.3 percent of his 3-pointers. Last week, Boston declined Hauser’s $1.6 million option for next season and made him a restricted free agent, making this multi-year deal possible. “First and foremost, the shooting stands out,” Celtics coach Ime Udoka said in April. “Elite shooter…But he’s a very cerebral player across the board. The Celtics signed the sharpshooter from Virginia to a two-way contract last summer, and in February the deal was converted to an NBA contract after a collection of trades opened up several roster spots.

This is our assessment of what Boston did so far.

Add in potential health or issues beyond the league, and the fact that Gallinari did indeed want to be in Boston, and this deal looks even better. And at 6-foot-10, Gallinari has the size to hold up against all but the strongest frontcourt players. But how good of a job did they do with those moves?

What kind of impact can we expect from the Boston Celtics adding Malcolm Brogdon, Danilo Gallinari? Justin Quinn. Sun, July 3, 2022, 8 ...

Did the Boston Celtics pull off a heist in Day 2 of NBA Free Agency? Well Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens has his name already on ...

That is, as long as they grow from what went wrong in the 2021-22 NBA Finals. Not only does he take some of the pressure off Marcus Smart at the point guard position, but he also becomes a reliable scoring option next to Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. Along with a big contract the Pacers wanted to clear from their books, injury concerns are what made Brogdon available at a cheap price when it comes to the Celtics.

After the Celtics lost to the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals, Stevens turned his focus quickly to the offseason, and laid out a vague, yet detailed ...

Brogdon will rarely have to exhaust energy as a point-of-attack defender as long as Smart and White are healthy, and he seems capable of acclimating to the high-pressure world of Celtics scrams and switches. Now, he won't have to worry about pressuring a defense, and in theory, he can turn into a floor-spacer while Brogdon and White do the heavy lifting with the ball. This shouldn't be a serious concern; Brogdon might stay healthier with a lesser workload, and he's indicated he knows what he has to sacrifice. His presence should particularly help White — who is used to playing as a "1B" attacker from his days in San Antonio — speed to the basket with more freedom as Brogdon draws some defensive eyeballs away. Brogdon and Gallinari add 821 combined NBA games started to the shuffle, and to have both off the bench is a testament to the depth of a title frontrunner. Tatum, Brown, Smart and White can all orchestrate offense with a base level of comfort, meaning Brogdon receives more time as a spot-up perimeter threat. Brogdon isn't the 50-40-90 player he was in 2017-18, but he's also just a better knockdown shooter than his 2021-22 numbers indicate. It further strained the synergy between Brogdon and Tyrese Haliburton, who, as Caitlin and Mark both emphasized, did not mesh particularly well in a tiny eight-game sample. To me, a good "playmaker" can create an advantage and make the high-efficiency play, whether it be a bucket or a pass, out of that advantage. Brogdon isn't passing players open, but he has the requisite court vision to read help defense and sense where his shooters are. Then, he can get the ball to his extended finishing hand so quickly that even longer defenders can't recover in time (look at that drive on Jaylen Brown). Brogdon doesn't have the best natural touch at the rim, but all of these smaller tricks of the trade help him clear the obstacles. But even if the on-paper trade-off was minimal, this is still a serious bet that Stevens and Ime Udoka know how to straddle that aformentioned fine line — how to avoid complacency without upsetting the fragility of a team's identity.

The results stand in stark contrast to statewide research conducted by the Massachusetts public safety office in February that found 'no support' for racial ...

The report also pointed to New York City, which recently implemented a “restorative justice approach” to traffic violence that seeks to educate drivers instead of issuing citations. “Existing practices like bias training haven’t really borne the fruit that people desire,” Flingai said. A spokesman for current Suffolk district attorney Kevin Hayden said his office is “still looking at the report and keeping all options on the table.” “We’re only as good as our data, and I believe we have an obligation to look at the numbers and see how our decisions are impacting real human beings.” “What we’ve sadly seen around the country is some of these low-level traffic stops result in harm, either to the driver or to the officer, and I care about both,” she said. “It is imperative that Suffolk County and Boston start taking steps to remove law enforcement from traffic safety,” Fatema Ahmad, executive director of the Muslim Justice League, said in a statement.

The white supremacists who marched through Boston have been ripped to shreds by elected leaders in the wake of their "despicable" display of hate on ...

He was taken to Tufts Medical Center. Boston Police on Sunday said it was still an active investigation into the incident. During the march on Saturday, Boston Police received a report of one Black man injured in a confrontation with Patriot Front members. “A Black man reported being attacked today in Boston. We need a safety plan to protect us from the white supremacists. “Screw off Nazi scum,” U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton said in a tweet. “I strongly condemn the message of this group, and find it offensive and sad that they chose this weekend in which we celebrate independence to demonstrate their belief in supremacy over equality,” Diehl said. “Not only do we call on our elected leadership to decry and denounce this racism, we urge them to act with force in terms of addressing racism through policies and through community conversations around race,” he added.

Although it's appealing to many, the Boston Bruins should be focused on the future rather than reliving their glory days by bringing back David Krejci.

For everything he’s given this organization, he deserves that, on top of the fact that he is still an elite player. It’s beyond time to accept the reality that the old group just was never good enough when it mattered, and reliving those days will only bring us more pain in next year’s playoffs. Looking towards it by moving on from Don Sweeney and his terrible drafting ( although that’s another story entirely). Preparing for it by seeing what some of the organization’s young centers can do with consistent playing time, rather than a 36-year-old who plays at a snails pace. Every year with that group was the same story: elite regular seasons only to crumble in the playoffs, unless their goaltender went on a legitimately historic hot streak. Hope that running it back with a group that was far from winning anything last year, with a coaching change as the only real difference, will lead to an actual title run this year. More likely, however, Bruins fans would quickly realize that the AHL-level competition of the Czech league did nothing to prevent the always slow Krejci from falling even further behind today’s rocket fueled NHL.

There were several dozen wearing "Reclaim America" shirts but they never showed their faces. Some of the men carried police shields and flags. The group was ...

"What are they trying to achieve?" "It was very disappointing and why this weekend?" Individuals spurred by ideology of hate, false narratives, personal grievances, to acts of violence and it is that we respond to and we seek to of course prevent.

The Boston Bruins are entering the 2022 free agency period in an interesting spot. On the one hand, the team is at the tail-end of their championship window ...

Another question mark heading into next season will be the roles of Erik Haula and Charlie Coyle. The two players served as the Bruins’ No. 2 and No. 3 centers respectively last season, but that would undoubtedly change if at least one of Krejci or Stastny are added to the lineup. If the Bruins find themselves in a spot where they have so many centers capable of playing in a middle-six capacity that one or two of them are forced onto the wing, that means that they will be as versatile a team as it comes next season. While Stastny could be an option for the Bruins at both center and on the wing, his two-way ability, leadership, team-first mentality and special teams prowess make him the perfect fit for just about any team looking to bolster their lineup this offseason. On the other hand, though, the team seems primed to make at least one last push at a Stanley Cup next season with Patrice Bergeron believed to be signing a one-year, incentive-laden deal and rumors of David Krejci’s return being at least a possibility. This bodes well for newly-hired coach Jim Montgomery, but it also begs the question; what type of moves can and will the Bruins end up making to improve their roster from last season to next season. On the one hand, the team is at the tail-end of their championship window and are dealing with a plethora of significant injuries to top-end talent heading into the 2022-23 season.

“It’s important to understand that American independence was not entirely won by the likes of John Adams and Benjamin Franklin,” Lane said. Long before the first drops of blood were shed in the battles of Lexington and Concord, people supported the cause of independence, he said. As a result, England blocked Boston Harbor to punish the city until the bill was paid. The tea was worth about 10,000 pounds sterling at the time, a sum that would translate into $1.3 million to $1.8 million today, O’Brien said. But their appeals to the Royal Governor to return the tea were refused. As the deadline approached it became clear they would never be able to return the ships to England on time.

Last month, members of the white supremacist group Patriot Front were arrested on their way to riot at a Pride in Idaho.

“It is particularly appalling for Black people to know this group was largely unmonitored and for the most part allowed to roam freely,” he said. “Black people who are aware of what happened have to feel deeply concerned that their citizenship is undervalued and not protected in equal ways compared to whites,” he continued. “This is a highly organized group, so how is it they were able to organize coming to Boston, getting to Massachusetts, parking their cars, and making their way to downtown Boston, and nobody knew? Mayor Gary Christenson of Malden said he contacted Malden police Chief Glenn Cronin when he learned that the group had used the Oak Grove MBTA station to get into the city and would be returning. “He is deeply distressed upon being attacked by a mob of racists,” Peterson said. “The fact they were able to ... move through Massachusetts and there was not any type of alert to local law enforcement, that’s a concern too,” she said.

The Boston Celtics are reportedly re-signing sharpshooter Sam Hauser to a three-year deal with $6 million and expecting him to be a contributor next season.

He’s fit in well in games that he’s played early in the season when guys were injured, we plugged him right in and he didn’t really miss a beat as far as defensively and some of the things we were looking for.” In a late-season game against the Milwaukee Bucks, Hauser was one of the stars off the bench contributing 11 points on 4-for-6 shooting.
