The Democratic National Convention has descended in to chaos today both inside and outside the Time Warner arena in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Following the debacle earlier today of the ramming through over the loud objections of delegates of pro-God, pro-Israel language to the platform, fire marshalls have locked down the arena leaving a reported thousands of credentialed delegates and reporters stranded outside.

Reporters on Twitter are sending out on scene reports and photographs with commentary such as "mayhem", "fail" and "farce".

"Democratic convention descending into farce. After "booing God" debacle, delegates, and media locked out of the convention by fire marshals" , Nico Hines, Times of London.

"Complete nightmare for the DNC. Thousands of delegates and media stuck outside. Fire marshals have closed the building. #DNCFAIL", Matt Spence, Times of London.

Epic fail is how they’ve run the country. No surprise they can’t even run a convention.

Have you noticed how most of the people in the audience look like something the cat dragged in? At least the Republicans know enough to wear their Sunday clothes. LOL

Rumors that obama is supposed to show up. Doesn’t trust his ‘loyal’ supporters?

Are the people outside mostly white? The white quota may have been filled.

Why are they locked out?

Maybe al-Jazeerah or the pro-Hamas delegates are acting up.
