Black Lives Matter

On a beautiful sunny Saturday, July 25, Black Lives Matter supporters, and those who represented veterans groups, churches and conservative organizations gathered in many areas of downtown Missoula to express their views.

Referencing an earlier story, Missoula police and City Hall had recently received several calls from Black Lives Matter protesters who were nervous about armed citizens in the downtown area.

When I rounded the corner from third street onto 27th Street the magnitude of the movement came into full view: easily 1,000 people were gathered on the sidewalk and in the park adjacent to the Yellowstone County Courthouse.
