Sounds like it was a protest not a hate rally as the no campaign are making it out to be. It wasn't even an explicitly pro yes protest. Looks like they were protesting against racism and fracking, as is their democratic right.

Do we really want the opposing sides protesting the other side's events? Tensions are high enough now. Wait until a bunch of idiots start throwing punches.

They weren't from the yes campaign. If anything I'd say they're likely progressive no voters - but that's just my assumption.

It was a socialist alternative protest not unlike something you'd see most days on your typical university campus.
