Jason Kessler, who organized last year's event under the banner "Unite the Right," was denied a permit to gather in Charlottesville this year, but he will fight that decision in a court hearing Tuesday. In Washington, Kessler's permit application for an Aug. 12 rally received initial approval and details are being worked out.
Kessler said this year's rally will focus on "white civil rights" – what he sees as limited rights for white people, particularly surrounding free speech. Only American and Confederate flags will be allowed at the D.C. event, Kessler said; no neo-Nazi paraphernalia.

As much as I dislike it, it should be allowed. That's the "problem" with free speech...even the stuff we don't like should be allowed. I would add these suggestions: there should be no counterprotest (so no chance of violence from anyone but these clowns), no media presence (no cameras, no video, no air time...that's what they want), and finally, no talk/mention of them from politicians/media/celebrities/etc...again, that's what they want, attention....don't give it to them. When two dozen of these clowns show up and nobody is there to see/respond to them and then they get no press/coverage, these events will fade away.

Charlottesville denied it - and it's up for appeal. I can see why they denied it. Threat of violence is too high after what happened last year. I think it's extremely distasteful of them to have it in Charlottesville again. Why not just in DC? It's approved there.
But it sounds like there will be fewer people because of divisions in the alt right. So even with coverage, I bet that only two dozen show up.
