Mike Feuer said Friday that he would urge Los Angeles officials to consider imposing restrictions or even deny permits to hate groups seeking to rally here in order to prevent the kind of violent clashes that erupted last weekend at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va. When people are coming to incite violence ... that’s where we draw the line.”“I think as a city we can draw that line,” Feuer added. Feuer was referring the the American Civil Liberties Union, which, in response to the Charlottesville violence, said Thursday that it would not represent white supremacist groups that want to demonstrate with guns. The city attorney and ACLU weren’t the only ones speaking out against violent demonstrations this week. The city attorney grew emotional as he spoke about his father, stopping to sip water as he tried to compose himself.
