Police had arrested seven people by early Saturday afternoon, as protesters clashed at UNC-Chapel Hill five days after the toppling of the Silent Sam Confederate monument.
In a media conference call later in the day, UNC Chancellor Carol Folt said she won’t be rushed into a decision about what happens next to Silent Sam. She has to keep an “eye on safety, preparing for events and identifying a sustainable solution,” Folt said.
“I think we need to really look into that,” she said. “We’ve just had a lot of new information when the Historical Commission looked at the law and the timing of the law. So we’re certainly looking into all of those things and trying to really understand what it says, what it requires.”
Some people carrying Confederate flags gathered Saturday at McCorkle Place on campus. Far more people gathered in support of the toppling of Silent Sam, which protesters tore down Monday night. Silent Sam supporters numbered no more than a couple of dozen, while the anti-protesters had the numbers on their side, with about 200 people shouting and chanting various slogans.
Skirmishes broke out among the groups, after police earlier in the day unloaded riot gear. Around noon, police led away a Confederate supporter after he punched another man, after a wreath had been ripped from the supporter’s hand. Earlier in the day, officers led away one man who had bumped up against a man carrying a Confederate flag.
In McCorkle Place, there were about 50 campus police officers. About 10 were stationed inside the barricade surrounding the base that once supported the statue. The rest were scattered around in groups ready to intercede when the protestors and anti-protestors came together.

Those radicals today, who hate the USA, try to destroy the memories of those who tried to leave the USA in 1861.
Go figure.
Silent Sam goes back up in 90 days. Electrify it.
“...and identifying a sustainable solution...”
WTF exactly is a sustainable solution?
First they came for Silent Sam, then George, Thomas and Abe...
"She has to keep an “eye on safety, preparing for events and identifying a sustainable solution,” Folt said. "
Keeping an eye on safety means she will cave to the mob, thinking that appeasement to a cabal of law breakers will keep the peace. It will for a day or a week and then when the next issue comes around they will bring five hundred instead of two hundred simply because they feel enabled by the weak-kneed university and given a green light for their use of force.
From the news reports I've read, most or all of them are outside agitators and not students at the university. If Silent Sam stays in a warehouse it will be money well spent by the Soros anarchist organizations.
Has there been a change in the local government, because the local LEOs defended Silent Sam last year but pretty much caved to the protesters willingly this week?
How trendy of her.
Dealing with problems large and small is so effortless in academia, these days...
The only thing necessary is choosing the right magic word.
Keep in mind that the terrorists are trained to provoke and then pretend they are the victims. They are also trained to strike decent people from behind if they can get a shot. Further, they are taking video, and that will be edited to show only our response. Any reaction we have has to keep these facts in mind.
Nobody knows.
It just is.
It's freaking magic, like 'abracadabra' or 'the money fairy.'
“Sustainable” is the new millennium buzzword————Who the hell knows what they mean by it-——I don’t think that they even do..
This is about sustainable investing.

The Democrat Party should have been abolished after the Civil War as all freed slaves repatriated to Africa. Socialism and Communism should have been destroyed during WWII.
I’ll believe he is back up when I see it.
