CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Protesters returned to the streets of Charlotte, North Carolina, to demonstrate for a second night as GOP officials gathered in the city for the Republican National Convention.
Police used bicycles to block protesters Saturday night from gathering close to the Charlotte Convention Center, the site of the convention. The Secret Service set up a perimeter, news outlets reported.
The demonstrators' chants included, "No RNC in CLT” and “Black Lives Matter.”
Several people were arrested Friday, and at least one person was arrested Saturday. Charlotte-Mecklenburg police tweeted that a protester armed with a gun was arrested, and earlier stated that pepper spray was used to stop another protester armed with a pole “from advancing on officers.”
Friday night, a group of about 60 demonstrators left a park and began a march throughout uptown Charlotte, authorities said.
Police said the group briefly trespassed onto light rail tracks, temporarily disrupting service. Demonstrators later impeded traffic by surrounding a vehicle that was attempting to travel through an intersection, police said. William Gissentaner was arrested and charged with impeding traffic, disorderly conduct and resisting a public officer, police said.

They can walk all they want.
Disrupt anything and your ass is going to jail.
They should have a permit and they should not block any traffic going anywhere that is not covered by the permit.
Otherwise they should sit in jail for the duration of the convention.
Charlotte is not going to play.
Portland is run by idiots.
In 2000, in Los Angeles, the mayor was Richard Riordan (r) as nd the chief of police was Bernard Parks. I think that would not happen with the current mayor and chief of police.
Touchè!
A live feed of these protesters getting led into a blind and then all arrested, zip tied and put on buses headed to the Police Station would be a ratings winner.
Charlotte, the Marxist/black Marxist thugs center of North Carolina. Would like to know which groups were involved in this riot.
Also, trains should not stop for illegal protestors. It is hard to get the mangled bodies out of the undercarriage so bumping them to the side is a more environmentally friendly way of doing things.
(I was on a train that hit and killed a man walking down widely used railroad tracks. We looked for his body but it was not found under the train, only later far away in the brush near the tracks. No one ever saw him getting hit as we thought it was an animal. A tragedy, but a preventable one on the dead person’s part.
#16. Look like the Jonas Brothers or “New Kids on the Block”. sarc, sarc, barf. At least it was a racially, gender diverse group of thugs. It is a shame they were taken alive.
In my neighborhood, they would have been known as “The Sushi Four”.
#18. Where I come from, a “non-descript jail with concrete walls” is known as a coffin. /sarc

EXACTLY SO. - FYI, I once lived in Charlotte & the MCSD deputies “have little sense of humor” about rioters/thieves/assorted thugs causing trouble n Mecklenburg County/Charlotte.
Also this convention “ain’t their first rodeo”.

Extreme left (haha!) - I see that Uncle Fester got a toupee!
When they committed crimes, such as trespassing, why are they not all rounded up and Arrested?
A very simple trick is just to arrest the disupting lefties and toss them in jail
````
Nah just tie them to the light rail tracks
walking dead is a training series
