I’m thinking along the lines of Rodney King only on a national level.
Also are the big cities (LA, Detroit, NYC) preparing for such an outcome?
I wasn’t sure if this belongs in GQ but the way the political threads go I figured it would end up here at some point.
Can you expound on your OP a bit? Why would you think there would be rioting? Do you really think Democrats are that violent?
I’m pretty sure the OP means blacks. I realize democrats only whisper that word late at night, deep in their basements, behind locked doors with salt spread around doorways and windows.
Blacks. Say it with me. Blacks. There, see? Nothing happened. You okay, Amp?
Me? Nah, I don’t see it happening except in small, scattered areas and only if there is the perception of gross injustice or unfairness, like evidence of vote tampering or Obama only gets 5% of the vote or something.
Actually, I think a lotta pink people will be mad as heck and might riot since they would make up the majority of Obama voters.
Will there be riots if Palin…I mean, McCain…loses?
Yeah, you’re aiming that at the wrong guy here my friend. I knew what the OP was trying to get at, I’ve read about all the riots by the “brothers” or the “niggers” that are going to happen if Obama loses on other message boards.
Only if there is blatant, overt, proven theft of the election, would this maybe occur. Y’see, we’re conditioned to accept the results of legal elections around here - even if we don’t like them. Sure, there would be a ton of whining and bitching and proclamations of doom if Obama lost the election (fairly), but the level of rioting would be zero.
Yeah, blood in the streets, just like Denver.
Dick Morris: “Blood in the streets” if Hillary wins
Fortunately, Nibiru will kill us all in 2012, so we only have to put up with riots for a few years.
I wasn’t nessesarily thinking of black folks specifically. I was thinking more along the lines of mass protests/destruction.
I live in the SF Bay Area and any time there is some sort of protest/semi-riots it is always, let us say, left-leaning, anarchy, fuck the government people. I don’t think I have ever seen any of the downtown business people knocking out windows, looting, and starting fires.
The people I’m thinking of are generally younger politically active types. One of Obama’s constituencies.
Nibiru?
Que?
No.
The internet bitching by whichever side loses is going to be deafening, but actual violence? No way.
The anarchist fuck the gov’t people you mention are pissed no matter who wins because in their eyes both parties are the same (and they’re not far off).
Nice try on equating people “looting and starting fires” with “One of Obama’s constituencies” though.
Damn, here I try specifically to keep race out of this and within 2 replies there it is.
Oh, pardon me for misreading “along the lines of Rodney King.”
It was the most recent riot I could think of.
I don’t know, but maybe we should all vote for Obama just to be safe from his potentially riotous supporters.
Planet X of this current thread.
Pictures of Niburu destroying the Earth are here.
How about this one instead, then?
No muss, no fuss, no unintentional reference to one of the most racially charged riots in modern history while trying to avoid talking about race. It’s even a fairly on-point comparison.
Even better.
Thanks
Problem is lots of people have low standards of proof for propositions that support their prejudices (witness: lots of threads on this very message board). I’m mildly concerned about someone agitating for riots among blacks and the poor but I’m not planing on taking drastic measures against such an eventuality (just keeping the shotguns a little closer that night).
They are getting ready. the 3rd infantry division has been removed from Iraq and is assigned to domestic operations. They are being trained for crowd control and domestic violence.The use of non fatal weaponry is part of the training.
not to worry,all is well.
