WATCH: John W. Whitehead Weighs In on August 12 Security Measures
Not everyone in Charlottesville is in favor with the security plans in place the August 12th weekend, saying shutting the city down is an unacceptable solution.
The Rutherford Institute, a nonprofit organization based in the Charlottesville area, is dedicated to the defense of civil liberties. The institute feels taking such extreme measures is putting the city in a negative light.
Rutherford Institute President John Whitehead believes Charlottesville should take precautions to avoid a repeat of last year’s controversial Unite the Right rally, but not this extreme without credible evidence.
