— Back the Blue motorcycle rally draws Black Lives Matter counterprotest in McHenry County – Evelyn Holmes (DIERSEN: If a pro-law enforcement rally was held in your municipality, a) why would you attend or not attend the rally, b) how many would attend the rally, c) who would lead the counterprotest, and d) how many would attend the counterprotest? Of course, my critics/opponents would not only boycott the rally, they would lead the counterprotest. In 2004 and 2005, I organized Wheaton’s 9/11 ceremonies.)
