Left-Wing Protesters Intimidate Diners in Charlotte: ‘White Silence Equals Violence’
Boisterous left-wing protesters demonstrating against the Republican National Convention (RNC) intimidated diners at a Charlotte, North Carolina, restaurant Saturday night while they clogged up the streets.
Protesters engaged with a man leaving a restaurant in Charlotte’s South End neighborhood around 11:00 p.m., and called him a “gentrifier,” the
Charlotte Observer reported.
Demonstrators in the South End, marching in their second night against the RNC to protest police brutality and neighborhood gentrification, yelled, “White Silence Equals Violence.”
A person in the crowd also appeared to spray silly string at someone appearing to confront the protesters.
The protesters also
shouted, “the blood of Breonna Taylor,” referencing the March 13 death of Breonna Taylor, 26, at the hands of the police when officers
searched her home for illegal drugs.
