BRIGHTON — A third white supremacist demonstration has taken place in Livingston County, this time near a stretch of businesses in Brighton on Saturday, Aug. 17.
Those businesses are decrying the display, which involved less than a dozen members of a group that seemed to resemble demonstrators in Howell last month.
According to Spencer Goller, who owns Brighton Coffeehouse and Theater with his mother, the demonstrators “intimidated” customer and crew members throughout the day.

In a video posted to social media , Goller said: “If you’ve been downtown today … you may have noticed there is a white supremacist protest happening pretty close to our building. … They are on the sidewalk, it is public property, so they do have a right to protest and we do support the right to protest, however, we do not support this particular message and we certainly do not support the kind of crew and customer intimidation that’s been happening all day. We’re hoping this situation can get resolved quickly and peacefully.”
