Law enforcement announced plans to remove barriers from the downtown square after white nationalists called off a planned White Lives Matter Rally there. Counterprotesters, who had gathered across the city, ended their events as the rally petered out.
White nationalists were overwhelmingly outnumbered by counterprotesters in Murfreesboro.
About 600 counterprotesters gathered in Murfreesboro to oppose the rally, chanting "Murfreesboro loves," "refugees are welcome here" and "this is what democracy looks like." About 30 white nationalists showed up at the rally in the square in downtown Murfreesboro.

"The views of the white nationalists, Nazis, white supremacists and the Klan are wrong, they are un-American, they are not welcome, and we need to be loud and clear about that.

(28,815 posts)i have a fb friend who lives in shelbyville. on her feed she was fretting about these haters coming to her town, but she also had posted a graphic that said "all lives matter."
i didn't comment. she may have muted me since the womens march. the last post i actually saw in my feed from her was a pissed off feed claiming she wasn't supportive of the march, which i attended. so. i don't even know that she didn't vote for trump.
