I believe there was a flyer that circulated saying folks should march through the South Shore white neighborhoods and "claim what is theirs." The source of that post is unknown.

News 12 was there.

Kathleen Rice weighed in on Twitter.

Laura Curran says she is aware of the rumors and that the Nassau County PD is prepared.

There are long lines at the outside Coliseum Gun Traders in Uniondale today.

Merrick has been trending all day (negatively) because of racism, segregation, etc.

Hopefully cooler heads prevail.

Lots of home break-ins and car thefts in my area in NC last night. Think the police were preoccupied on the side of town that borders Raleigh and our side got taken advantage of.

I don't want to paint an entire hamlet with a broad brush. But. I can't say I'm surprised. By far the least welcoming experience I had while house hunting was in Merrick.

This is why they are going back to protest in Merrick again!
And I’m sure it will be a lot bigger now after what happened.

Merrick- the village that once named Dina Lohan Mother of the Year. Nuff said.

The whole thing was dumb. The whole reason there were counter protestors there was because there was a widely circulated ANTIFA Facebook threat probably BS, that said they would start marching there in Merrick then take back the neighborhoods of “white privilege”

Twitter says they are coming back to Merrick en massee June 4th - 5 -6 pm at the Merrick LIRR.
Garden City, Floral Park and other Village police say they're guarding their villages with roof top sharp shooters.
Uniondale gun store had lines around the block.
Its pretty clear - Long Island does not want to be messed with & are sick and tired of this pretend protest.
Our elderly are also tired of sitting home, wondering if its safe to go to the damn store without running into a protest.
Its really enough now.
And knowing all this - Curran hasn't tried to alleviate tensions by throwing a curfew down until these protesters move on.
