Protests in Charlotte turned violent for a third night when police in riot gear used pepper spray on demonstrators who blocked a highway.

Officers stormed a line of protesters who had formed a human chain on I-277 and blocked traffic.

The cops batted them with their shields and pushed them off the road, spraying their faces with pepper spray.

A dozen of the demonstrators were hit and were unable to open their eyes as they screamed: 'It burns!'

The protesters had come prepare and had milk in spray bottles which helps overcome the efforts of pepper spray.

One girl sat on a curb sobbing as she cleaned her eyes with her hand. Another man with his shirt off was covered in milk.

Blocking the highway had caused cars caught in the chaos to turn around and drive the wrong way down the road. Police blocked off both sides.

The incident happened a little over an hour before the midnight curfew and afterwards the protesters began to regroup. Police have now cleared the highway.

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department tweeted that there have been no reports of officers or civilians injured during Thursday's demonstration.

Meanwhile, the retarded mayor called off the curfew. They need martial law there and the Guard in f I rce with fixed bayonets, The shop keepers and residents pay that scag salary, not the vermin rioting in the street and her concerns should be for them and their property. Typical DemocRat.

How does a curfew actually work?

Surely, there are travelers driving city to city overnight that pass thru on the Interstates, and truck drivers doing their runs.

What about the airport’s Midnight to 6 AM flights?

Does the 24-hour pharmacy close? You know, the one that stays open for emergency overnight prescriptions?

“now its a black “father”....”

Seven kids...probably by eight different mothers...

What they aren’t saying that is significant is he has a record of violent offenses and drug offenses as long as your arm.

“A black father”...why use the word “father” to describe him? Rhetorical question.

This riot is not helping Hillary as it looks so stupid.

Oh, a black welfare daddy-type absentee father. I see, said the blind man, as he picked up his hammer and saw...

The county that Charlotte is in voted twice for the communist organizer.

The people getting beat to a pulp, the odds are good that they wanted it and felt they deserve it.

So BLM, your giving them what they want. Your helping them get over the white guilt thing.

With a history of shooting at police officers. I would admonish BLM to find better martyrs but that would be asking the impossible.

STOP calling it a "Protest" or a "Demonstration".

It's a RIOT and the Gubbmint, on all levels is REFUSING to protect life and property from these THUGS.

Protect yourself and your property - shoot these animals down in the street.

I would admonish BLM to find better martyrs but that would be asking the impossible.

I have a theory about that. If you think back, all the worst ruckus we've seen over these various incidents have been based on the worst possible incidents from a 'justification' standpoint. It's so bad that 5 years ago, if I listed the particulars and described the aftermath to you, you'd think I was a nut job.

What I think is happening, is that Soros and his fellow travelers have pre-positioned folk on their payroll to agitate. When something - anything - happens that they can tie into their narrative, they pounce and start beating the drums. I suspect Charlotte was chosen for a couple of reasons. First, it's a really liberal city in an otherwise conservative state, so there are plenty of useful idiots lying around to assist the bussed in professional agitators. Second, it's a hit because of the faggot bathroom thing. This is the left's way of physically punishing NC for taking a stand the left disagrees with.

None of what is occurring has anything whatsoever to do with the incident that allegedly 'sparked' it, so the truth, or facts that surround the incident don't really matter. In fact, I think they like it better when the facts don't make sense, because it demonstrates their ability to mobilize the zombies when and where they want.
