Hours after a “White Lives Matter” rally unfolded Saturday in Shelbyville, Tenn. — resulting in lots of counterprotesters, but no violence — a fight broke out between a smaller group of white supremacists and an interracial couple at a restaurant in Brentwood, about 50 miles to the north. The 30-year-old woman later told police that one of the group members asked her to “guess” and that she responded “white lives matter,” police said. While at the Corner Pub, Werme said she recognized a group of white supremacists walk into the restaurant.

The event billed as a White Lives Matter rally is hosted by Nationalist Front, which is a coalition of several white supremacist organizations.
