Candlelit counter-protest follows torch bearers at Lee Park; Kessler among arrested
Right-wing blogger Jason Kessler and two other people were arrested at Sunday night's counter-protest at Lee Park, according to Charlottesville police spokesman Lt. Steve Upman.
One was arrested "for assaulting a police officer"; the other for assaulting Kessler "by spitting on him." Kessler, who was among a torch-bearing group led by white nationalist Richard Spencer on Saturday, was "arrested for disorderly conduct."
Hundreds of community members gathered on Sunday night to “take back Lee Park,” after torch-bearing protesters of a different sort met up at the Charlottesville park Saturday night.
