>Eight people were arrested Saturday after they brawled with police as they tried to get to a “white power” rally in Georgia they hoped to protest, officials said.
>About thirty “pro-white” rally participants clashed with a group of about 300 counter protestors chanting “Hey hey, ho ho, the KKK has got to go,” during the event inside the park on Saturday morning, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution newspaper.
>Counter protestors fought with police trying to bar them from getting close to the pro-white rally, leading to the eight arrests, officials said.
>Cops in riot gear were present at the scene as helicopters soared overhead.
>Organizers of the “white power” rally, dubbed Rock Stone Mountain, had expected as many as 2,000 extremists to attend the event, which coincided with Confederate Memorial Day weekend.
>The massive police presence, alleged threats by counter protestors, and the fact that park officials wouldn’t let ralliers climb Stone Mountain, “cut down the numbers quite a bit, organizer Greg Calhoun explained.
