this was charlottesville's 3rd protest in since may... the last one ended in teargas. I'm surprised they even issued a permit the third time.
On May 13, 2017, alt-right figure Richard B. Spencer led a torch-lit rally in Emancipation Park in protest of the Charlottesville town council's decision to remove and sell the statue and chanted "You will not replace us" and "Russia is our friend." Some of the ralliers procured bamboo tiki torches for a second, nighttime rally, but put out their torches and left as police officers began to arrive to disperse them.
Protesters to the rally itself gathered the following day and held a silent candlelight vigil that attracted over a hundred of the town's citizens, and the incumbent mayor of Charlottesville, Michael Signer, who opposed the statue's removal, condemned the protest, and the funds dedicated to the preserving of the Robert E. Lee statue denied having any involvement in the rally. Despite some conflict, no arrests were made or anyone injured.
On July 8, 2017, the Ku Klux Klan held a rally in Charlottesville protesting the city's plan to remove the statue. The approximately 50 Klansmen were met by several hundred counter-protesters. The police used tear gas to disperse the crowd, and made 23 arrests.
On August 12, 2017, during the Unite the Right rally, clashes broke out between white nationalist supporters of the statue and counter protesters over the removal of the statue. During the rally, one person was k**led and 19 injured by a car ramming attack on counter-protesters.

Guess they will have bring in general George A. Custer back into Charlottesville to surrender the city again.
