Eight people were arrested Saturday following another protest over the toppling of a Confederate monument at the University of North Carolina. The memorial known as "Silent Sam" was toppled Aug. 20 by protesters who called it a symbol of racist heritage. About 100 anti-Silent Sam protesters gathered Saturday on the school's Chapel Hill campus for a "Nazis Suck Potluck and Food Drive," the News & Observer reported. Nearby, about a dozen people holding Confederate flags held a vigil in a sectioned-off area near where the statue had stood. Some officers used the handlebars of their bicycles to push the Silent Sam protesters back.
