Last August, white supremacists stood in a Charlottesville, Virginia park chanting “you will not replace us.” This year they might be replaced by a giraffe and a dunk tank.
Organizers of last year’s deadly ‘Unite the Right’ rally are attempting to host an anniversary event in Charlottesville. So far, the city has denied an application to host the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville’s Emancipation Park on August 11 and 12. Jason Kessler, one of the event’s lead organizers is suing the city to overturn the decision. But now Kessler has more competition, this time in the form of a petting zoo, Charlottesville’s Daily Progress first reported. A Charlottesville local has filed a permit for a family-friendly extravaganza that takes place in the same park, on the same two days as the would-be ‘Unite the Right’ sequel.
Justin Beights, a Charlottesville businessman who filed the application, says the timing didn’t occur to him.

as long as the animals don't get all political or there aren't any racists one's I guess this is a win.
But they need to be watched closely. One goat with a tiki torch and I say "
SHUT THEM DOWN!!!"

even if it was no accidental
if two people apply for a permit on the same day 1 of them is not going to get it
that means they were # down?

Considering the trauma that city went through last year I think they're well within their right to stop a similar event from happening this year.
It's worth noting that the city has also denied applications from Leftist groups trying to block the UTR people.

That city brought the trauma on themselves. Instead of letting people opposed to tearing down a statue have their protest they turned it into a political circus.
Some one died and people used it for a political divide.
I remember when it happened. Trump spoke the truth and said, "There were bad people on BOTH sides." and ya'll lost your snip!
