‘White Lives Matter’ rally in California leads to 12 arrests, clash with protesters

Twelve people were arrested at a White Lives Matter rally in California — where anti-racism counterprotesters vastly outnumbered white supremacists.

A few hundred counterprotesters met in a plaza near the Huntington Beach pier Sunday to voice their opposition ahead of the White Lives Matter rally set to start 1 p.m., the Los Angeles Times reported. The crowd grew to nearly 500 just hours later, prompting Huntington Beach to declare an unlawful assembly as tensions between the huddled masses heated up.
