Charlottesville city council meeting briefly shut down by protesters
A city council meeting in Charlottesville, Virginia briefly dissolved into an angry protest on Monday as activists and residents demanded answers from officials regarding the response from police during a deadly rally held by white supremacists.
About 100 activists and residents crowded into the council meeting, the first since the violent demonstrations two weekends ago, and shouted "Shame" and "Shut it down" toward council members and the mayor, forcing them to briefly end the meeting and leave the chambers, according to the New York Times.
As Mayor Mike Signer and council members left the room, two people held a sign that read "Blood On Your Hands," the Times reported.
No one was injured and three people were issued citations for disorderly conduct before the meeting resumed, the Times reported.
