(CNN) White nationalists groups that rallied Saturday in Shelbyville, Tennessee, were met by a large police presence and dozens of shouting counterprotesters. The groups had planned to start at Shelbyville and then head to Murfreesboro about 20 miles to the north, but the Murfreesboro rally was canceled, Griffin said. City leaders in Shelbyville and Murfreesboro had advised people to avoid the rally areas, and the area surrounding the Shelbyville event was nearly deserted. "We do not think Shelbyville, Tennessee, will be anything Charlottesville, Virginia, just because it is a very different city," Griffin said. Jessica Ortega, 28, said she drove from Clarksville, Tennessee, to protest the white nationalist rally.
