HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- As thousands gathered Thursday night inside the Big Sandy Superstore Arena during President Donald Trump's "Make America Great Again" rally, hundreds protested just outside the arena.

Despite being vocal, it was a largely peaceful protest. One person was arrested inside the arena, but no one was arrested outside.

Huntington Police had to separate protestors and supporters several times. They often stood between the two groups.

The city had previously designated a First Amendment area two blocks away from the arena, at the request of one protest group. But, for most of the night, that area averaged about a dozen or so protesters while others wanted to be closer to the arena.
