Pushback at Black Lives Matter Anti-Monument Protest: Much larger and louder crowd gathered to protect memorial

Black Lives Matter protests monument to Confederate dead in Greenville, South Carolina.

On Saturday, August 1, several TV media stations reported that there was a peaceful Black Lives Matter (BLM) rally in Greenville, South Carolina, to protest a monument honoring Confederate soldiers.  Actually, there were five people arrested at this rally, where the counter-protest conservatives outnumbered BLM at least five to one. One local Greenville paper estimated there were about 30 BLM protesters and 150 counter-protesters, but an eye-witness on the counter-protest side, who was there all day, gave a more precise, detailed, and interesting estimate of the crowd of well over 300 counter-protesters, not counting nearly 200 passing automobiles visibly and audibly siding with the pro-Confederates.
