White nationalist groups plan 'White Lives Matter' rally in Murfreesboro & Shelbyville, TN Oct. 28

Organizers of a “White Lives Matter” rally have applied for permits to hold an event Oct. 28 on the Rutherford County Courthouse lawn, city and county officials confirmed Monday.

The National Socialist Movement, a white nationalist group based in Detroit, will be joined by other member organizations of the Nationalist Front — including the League of the South and the Traditionalist Workers Party — for the event in Murfreesboro as well as one planned for the same day in Shelbyville.

Rutherford County and Murfreesboro city officials will meet Tuesday to determine whether the request meets city and county guidelines before the event is approved.

“We have to be very thoughtful about their rights and our citizens’ rights here, and what we’d need to do to properly manage this (event),” said Rutherford County Mayor Ernest Burgess. “We’re still working together and having some serious discussions about how we should manage this. … We’ll do our very best to do the right thing.”
