The Ku Klux Klan wants to rally in Charlottesville. Now this college town is on edge again.

There is more information and background in the WaPO story, this isn't LBN, so oops not needed.

In social media around Charlottesville, there seems to be a variety of reactions.

Some seem to want the statue of Lee and the park name to remain, but are angry that the KKK is involved.

There seems to be a growing group who says the KKK can do what they want, but that they should be ignored and can proceed with their "mutual masturbation" on the courthouse steps. Ignoring them is the most powerful message they could be given.

There are many who say they will be there to counter demonstrate and some say they will stop this rally, period.

I haven't seen any in support of the rally, but unlike DU, I have a very large block list on social media.

There is no space in the area of the Circuit Court House steps for a counter rally. There is a city street with only a sidewalk on each side. This will be a mess.
