ATLANTA - Right-wing demonstrators fought with leftist counter protesters in Georgia, Michigan and Oregon on Saturday , drawing in riot police and SWAT teams.

Several dozen demonstrators, many armed and carrying Confederate battle flags, staged a rally in the Atlanta suburb of Stone Mountain next to a park famed for its giant monument to leaders of the breakaway slave-holding states. After hours of shouting, and the burning of a Confederate flag, the protest devolved into scuffles and fist fights, drawing in police backed by a SWAT team.
