Last night, about forty supporters of Silent Sam gathered at the base of the toppled monument on the UNC-Chapel Hill campus, where they were met by a good deal more counterprotesters. Before the night was out, three people were arrested, and the cops had deployed lots and lots of pepper spray. You can read UNC journalism student/former INDY intern Cole Villena’s on the ground tweet-thread here.
Local documentary filmmaker Michael Galinsky was there as well, and created this gripping five-minute video of the night’s events.
