Black Lives Matter protest of 80 people in tiny Ohio town where just 13 black residents live is overrun by 700 white counter-protesters armed with rifles, handguns and baseball bats.
Heavily armed white men and women from motorcycle gangs and 'back the blue' groups flocked to the small town of Bethel Sunday.
Around 700 counterprotesters - some seen in Trump t-shirts - shouted 'Blue lives matter!' and 'All lives matter!' and ripped signs from protester's hands
80 of the 2,828 Bethel residents were holding a peaceful BLM demonstration
One protester was seen on camera being punched in the back of the head by a counterprotester in a confederate flag bandanna, while cops looked on
Clashes persisted for a second day Monday, leading the police chief to declare a curfew and several people were arrested.
Large swathes of the counterprotesters were thought to have come from out of town, with motorbikes seen carrying out-of-state license plates
A staggering 97 percent of Bethel residents are white and just 13 black people live there, according to US Census estimates
