Charlottesville Denies 5 Event Permits After 2017 Rally

White nationalists who demonstrated in the violent rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, earlier this year want to celebrate next year's anniversary with another rally — but it looks like the city isn't having it.

The city manager has  reportedly denied  five applications for demonstrations and events in August 2018.

One application was from Jason Kessler, the organizer of the 2017 "Unite the Right" rally.

The others were from Kessler's allies and people seeking to hold counterprotests.

One woman died during the rally last August.

Kessler called the permit decision "bogus" and said he'll file a lawsuit.
