I was at the counter-protest on Saturday. About 50 people on the street corners, some holding signs, some playing instruments. The community really came out to support Matthew. Lots of people driving by honking in support. I did not see one confederate the whole time that I was there. Saw several friends out for this event as well, and there was a line around the block to buy chocolate.
