CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — Police in Charlottesville, Virginia, say the city is preparing for a worst-case scenario for the August 12 anniversary of a deadly white supremacist rally.

The city is fighting in federal court to deny organizer Jason Kessler a permit for another "Unite the Right" rally. Police Chief RaShall Brackney said Charlottesville needs to be prepared whether or not Kessler succeeds.

The Daily Progress reports that community members and state and local officials gathered Thursday to discuss preparations.

Assistant City Manager Mike Murphy notes that the city's new event and park regulations prohibit items that can be weaponized.

2. I thank you

for keeping this group in public view. Trump the chump has caused all this hate from many people, POC and white alike. Shameful. I hope they don't get a permit and if they do they don't kill anyone.

4. How the hell do they even consider a permit granted?!!!

After a year ago, they caused the death of a young woman. As well as numerous other assault charges.

I was unaware of that.
