Multiple businesses on the Murfreesboro square are boarding up in preparation of potential vandalism on Saturday. A rally that has been titled "White Lives Matter" by a group in Alabama is set to happen at 1:30 on Saturday afternoon.

Mr. Ulrich Ankersoe owns the building where Maple Street Grill and later The Gavel once called home. Ankerson, who lives outside of the Rutherford County area, made the trip to his building to prepare for the Saturday rally in fear that the front windows would be broken.

The National Socialist Movement, Nationalist Front, League of the South and Traditionalist Workers Party have targeted Murfreesboro and Shelbyville to rally. The first rally will be in Shelbyville at 10 in the morning followed by the afternoon rally in Murfreesboro on the square at 1:30.

WGNS Coverage

People have been asking, is WGNS going to give live coverage of the Saturday (10/28/2017) event? Our news department is set-up around the downtown area and ready to give coverage, should problems arise. However, with the well thought-out plans of law enforcement, we hopefully will not need to go "live" on the radio.

WGNS will break-in on our regular programming with "updates" throughout the event and still photos, videos and interviews will be included on our website.

WGNS will have massive pictorial coverage of the event on this website. Check www.WGNSradio.com. And if issues arise, tune to AM 1450, FM 100.5 and FM 101.9. Your Good Neighbor is prepared to be with you through another challenge.

FYI: The permit for the rally is 1:30 to 4:00 Saturday (10/28/2017) on the Murfreesboro public square. The League of the South is expected to be joined by affiliated groups. Other individuals and groups are expected as counter protestors.
