Square sees busy morning with protesters, live music
By Kyle Martin
Staff Writer

Confederate sympathizers
arrived at the south side of the
Courthouse on the Square lawn
Saturday morning to show their
support for the Confederate sol-
dier memorial there. An unre-
lated group of folk musicians led
a jam session on the west side of
the courthouse, tapping and
plucking strings as if they didn’t
notice the jabber about statues
and politics catty-comer to
them.

We did not want this in our town because
this is not what Denton stands for.

the Hiwaymen from the Square
to their vehicle and watched
them leave. Most of the crowd
dispersed, with a few remaining
to continue discussions.
Denton police and the Den-
ton County Sheriff’s Depart-
ment officers were on-site dur-
ing the morning events and into
the afternoon to keep the peace.
Denton Deputy Police Chief
Lenn Carter said his depart-
ment, in conjunction with the
sheriff’s office, planned to have a
presence at the Square after
monitoring social media and
finding a possible alt-right rally
set to take place at 1 p.m.
“We monitor social media
and saw that the protest was
happening, and we planned ac-
cordingly,” Carter said. Although
he didn’t offer a specific number
of officers on-site, he said there
were plainclothes officers and
“there were enough officers to
match the amount of protesters.”

High School, and Arik Palileo, a
freshman at the University of
North Texas and a recent Guyer
graduate.
We did not want this in our
town because this is not what
Denton stands for,” Palileo said.
He and Velazquez stood by the
Hiwaymen and held a sign that
read “No Confederate Sympathy.”
In front of them, heated ex-
changes and arguments took
place as both sides clashed on
ideologies, historical facts and
the significance of the Confeder-
acy. Neither side seemed to do
much but agitate the other. De-
bates never escalated to more
than yelling, and tensions re-
mained at bay in nonviolence.
“I don’t want this in our
town,” Palileo said, with Velaz-
quez adding, “It shouldn’t be
here.”

About 10:30 a.m., the Con-
federate protesters arrived to
wave flags and spread their mes-
sage of support for keeping in-
tact the “fine monument.”
Billy Sessions, from Arkan-
sas, said the crew of four men
and one woman was part of a
group called the Hiwaymen.
They were in Denton “to sup-
port our Confederate monu-
ments and our history and our
heritage here in the South,” he
said while wielding a selfie stick
with his phone streaming video
of the event online.
He said four of the Hiway-
men were from Arkansas and
one was from Texas.
The Hiwaymen, he said, trav-

Protesters and Confederate sympathizers debate Saturday near the Confederate soldier me-
morial at the Courthouse on the Square lawn. About 50 people showed up over the course of
the afternoon with flags and signs to rally.
federate sympathizers and pro-
testers at the Square were sever-
al dozen counterprotesters who
climbed in numbers as the
morning stretched into the af-
ternoon.
Among them stood Mariana
el across the country to demon-
strate and protest, with many of
them having historical connec-
tions rooting from the Confeder-
acy. “We’ll go anywhere we need
to go,” he said, adding they were
in Charlottesville, Virginia, two
weeks ago, when a white su-
premacist drove his car into pro-
testers during a rally hosted by
self-proclaimed “alt-right” sup-
porters and white supremacists.
