I keep thinking of the riots in LA after the basketball championship a couple of years ago. And the Lakers were the winners!!

Philly fans rioted when the Phillies won the World Series this week. I can imagine what it would be like on the night of Nov 4, win or lose.

Chicago, Detroit, South Central L.A. and other Democrat controlled cities are going to look like 1945 Dresden if Obama loses.

I can see it happening. Maybe old man McGee will throw burning tires on the expressway again.

The white truck driver was Reginald Denny.

Poor guy was in the wrong place at the wrong time and took one helluva beating. Sure hope we don’t have a repeat on November 4.

RE: “Think Rodney King and white truckdriver.”

**************

Yes! I’m in LA and the Rodney King riots of 1992 dwarfed those Watts riots of 1968.

I don’t know which would be worse; if Zero wins and his fans are feeling so empowered that they can’t control themselves, or if they lose and are just crazed with anger beyond belief.

One million people in Chicago watching Obama lose...his speech conceding is going to be VERY important. If he in any way even VAGUELY or in a cryptic way green lights “action” and “Getting in their face”............

Most major cities riot, burn,and loot after the World Series, Super Bowl, Stanley Cup, etc. "

Well, Philadelphia celebrated its World Series win today - parade, crowds, celebration, speeches, etc. If there was a riot, I sure didn't hear about it. Apparently some Philadelphia police officers were shot at with Silly String. My son saw it while watching the parade on TV. On the whole, it was a great day - beautiful weather, happy crowd, kids skipping school, champagne, etc. No riot.

This is insane and an excellent reason why Obama is not mature enough to be President. He cares more for his ego in front of huge crowds than for the safety of approximately a million people or more. Win or lose this is going to turn out to be a disastrous decision.

If Obango loses, he will take a page out of his African tribal "cousin's" play book and call for violence until he gets his way...

President McCain and...

American Prime Minister Obango?!

I didn’t realize there was rioting in Philly. Not too much publicity about it. Any reason for a riot..I mean party.

For years one of the chief rivalries in college football in Texas has been the Texas/OU game. Played in Dallas at the Cotton Bowl.

Until about the last 15 years or so, the downtown businesses would have to board up their windows and shut down early because the “fans” would invade the area and trash it out. For no reason.

There is history for this kind of thing. I don’t envy the police departments in any large city on Tuesday.
