Will The Election Results Cause Massive Riots To Erupt All Over America?
Michael Snyder
October 13, 2012
Will the most divisive campaign in modern American history culminate in massive riots in our major cities? Right now, supporters of Barack Obama and supporters of Mitt Romney are both pinning all of their hopes on a victory on November 6th. The race for the presidency is extremely tight, and obviously the side that loses is going to be extremely disappointed when the election results are finalized. But could this actually lead to violence? Could we actually see rioting in communities all over America? Well, the conditions are certainly ripe for it. A whole host of surveys over the past few years have shown that Americans are very angry and very frustrated right now. In fact, a Pew Research Center poll from late last year found that 86 percent of all Americans are either angry or frustrated with the federal government.
We have seen this frustration manifest in protest movements such as the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street, but right now things are fairly calm as liberals and conservatives both look forward to November 6th. Many Republicans started the countdown to the next election literally the day after John McCain lost back in 2008. All of their hopes of getting Obama out of the White House are riding on a Romney victory. For many Democrats, Barack Obama is a "once in a generation" icon. Just the thought of Mitt Romney replacing Obama in the White House is enough to push many of them to the brink of insanity. In recent years we have seen horrible rioting erupt in cities after major sports championship games. How much worse could the rioting potentially be if this bitterly contested election is decided by a very narrow margin - especially if there are allegations that the election is "stolen"?
The election is nearly four weeks away, and many Obama supporters are already threatening to riot if Obama loses. The following are some very disturbing messages that were posted on Twitter recently that have been reposted on Twitchy.com....
"If Romney wins I'm Starting a Riot....Who's WIT ME???"
"I Hope The USA Is Well Aware That If In The Event This Character Romney Wins The Election, The People Will Start A Country Wide Riot! #Power"
"If Romney is elected president, its gon be a riot its gon be a riot."
"If ROMNEY GETS IN THE WHITE HOUSE ...U MIGHT AS WELL KILL ME NOW .....CAUSE ITS GONNA BE A ************ RIOT !!!"
"If Romney became President and took away welfare Downtown Cincinnati would become a riot"
"If Romney takes away food stamps 2 Chainzz in this bit IMMA START A RIOT"
"If Romney wins. (which i highly doubt) THERE WILL BE A RIOT—"
The following are a few more tweets that I found which threaten a potential riot if Obama loses the election....
From @joecools_world....
"Need 2 come up wit a game plan if Romney win.... Riot all thru Newark"
From @killacate....
"I swear on everything I love if Romney wins ima riot. I don't even care if its just me."
Romney supporters are not really threatening to riot, but many of them are proclaiming that they may leave the country if Obama wins. Here are some examples....
From @BrentskiTheBoss....
"If Obama gets reelected I may leave the country"
From @AbbieFickes....
"im sorry but if obama were to win again, i might as well leave the country and live in zimbabwe"
This presidential campaign has been getting increasingly heated, and individuals on both sides have been committing some despicable acts.
For example, in a previous article I mentioned that some Romney campaign signs down in Virgina have been smeared with excrement.
Over in Ohio, a huge pile of manure was dumped right in front of Warren County Democratic headquarters early on Tuesday morning....
Volunteers at the Warren County Democratic headquarters, just north of Cincinnati, were shocked and disappointed by a political prank unloaded on them early Tuesday morning – someone dumped a pile of horse manure in the parking lot of the headquarters building on US 42, just north of Lebanon.
It appears that both sides have resorted to literally slinging crap around.
There is so much hate in America today, and this campaign is bringing a lot of it to the surface. It is even being reported that a bus driver told a 12-year-old boy that he should have been aborted because his family has a Romney campaign sign in their yard....
Belling read a letter from the 12-year-old boy's mother, detailing the alleged abusive behavior by the bus driver.
Apparently, the Romney-Ryan yard sign bugs the bus driver and she's been harassing the boy, making rude comments to him related to politics.
When the driver engaged the 12-year-old boy in a political conservation, he responded by saying that Obama is pro-abortion.
The bus driver allegedly said to the child, "Maybe your mom should have chosen abortion for you."
How sick is that?
You can strongly disagree with someone without being mean and without being hateful.
Right now, the United States is a bubbling cauldron of frustration and anger that could be set off at any moment. This election could potentially be a "trigger point" which could end up unleashing a lot of that anger and frustration.
Already, there have been allegations that the Republicans have been committing voter registration fraud. Democrats are furious about this.
Evidence has also emerged that Democrats have been willing to assist voters in registering to vote in two different states. The following is from a recent article by Mac Slavo....
When undercover reporters visited various locations across the country they received the same response from Obama campaign staffers – that it’s basically okay to vote multiple times if you happen to be registered in two or more states.
In Houston, Texas, for example, the Project Veritas reporter made her intentions known, and rather than being rebuffed for her planned illegal activity, she was provided assistance with obtaining the proper forms to be registered in two states and was told to say “I don’t know” if the double-voting ever became an issue.
Similar situations unfolded at other DNC funded community organizations.
It appears quite probable that whichever side loses this election will accuse the other side of stealing the election.
And if millions of Americans feel that the election has been stolen from them, that will make it much more likely that we will see rioting.
Keep your ears open for phrases such as "voter fraud" and "election fraud" following this election. People are so angry already that even allegations that someone stole the election could be enough to set the streets of America on fire.
As always, let us hope for the best, but let us also prepare for the worst
Will Mathews riot on MSNBC? Will Maddow go kooky balistic? (more than usual)
Somehow I only see the people who see the earth as the center of the solar system as the ones who will riot.
and keep claiming the race is "extremely tight". (JMO but I don't think it really is)
You boys had better go back and read my posts from months ago re: riots. They are coming, they will be black and whites will die. Police will do NOTHING! Arm yourselves now.
I can think of no verbal or written response to this issue other than if that’s how they want it: “Bring it on and let’s get it over with”.
I strongly disagree, the author has no evidence that Marxists, Communists, Fascists, socialists, and statists display any such qualities, and never have.
All genocide in history has come from the left or Islam.
The author obviously has not done his homework.
“Will there be riots after the Election” - YES - It won’t matter who wins.
At my house we have stocked up on essentials - food, meds, water, fuel, flashlights, cash, silver, ammo and weapons. We have suspended major purchases and travel. We are prepared to stay in “lock down” for a Month or more.
Look at the aftermath of NBA championships. Riots sometimes occur in the inner city areas regardless of whether the home team won or lost.

“In the emergency room in Christ Hospital in Chicago last June 13, four doctors watched the Bulls finish off the Utah Jazz for the National Basketball Association title. The moment the buzzer sounded, the doctors were inundated with the sounds of celebration, Chicago style: they listened not to cheering, but to their beepers chirping simultaneously, alerting them to the first incoming casualties of the Bulls’ fifth title in seven years.
Welcome to N.B.A. championship night, the only United States sports event with a body count.”

Very popular topic.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2944157/posts early this morning as well.
Yowza! Two or three months back I mentioned this right here on FR. My belief was, when the Dems knew Obama was in real trouble, they’d play the “possible unrest” card. I also thought it would be about 3 to 4 weeks before the election.
Anyone want me to pick some Lotto numbers? :)
I don’t know about ‘riots’, I don’t think this country has gotten there yet, BUT, I am concerned about massive cheating in states with close votes. I wonder how many illegal voters will be voting, felons voting, how many will vote serveral times, how many dead people will be voting, how many times Micky Mouse and Donald Ducks will be voting. With loose voting requirements in many states that don’t require photo ID, anybody can vote.
We had a governor in our state, Christine Gregour,(D). She got into office by a very close vote. At first, the Republican canidate had won, but the d’RAT’s contested it. The way they finally won was, -for some strange and mysteious reason they kept finding more ballets that seemed to have never been opened in Seattle, (which is very liberal), they kept finding new ballets until they finally found enough to put her over the top, thus, declaring her the winner of the election. This same thing can happen in the national elections in close states.
If obama loses there will be riots
If obama wins there will be an American Revolution 2.0
Nah, you'll just settle for burning down your own neighborhood as usual.
Any further than that will be dangerous to your health.
“Look at the aftermath of NBA championships. Riots sometimes occur in the inner city areas regardless of whether the home team won or lost.”
I won’t argue that. But I’m thinking in political terms. People need to be angry to riot. If they’re told that Romney stole the election from Obama, they will riot. If they are sure Obama will win, but he doesn’t, there’s a good chance that they will riot (but who’s telling them that?). But if they’re told it was clean, by people they trust, we should be ok...but it is strictly up to their leaders...they will have the blood on their hands. There will be millions of Americans armed and waiting election night...they need to be very careful with their words.
As to sports - I think that’s just their way of blowing off steam after getting all fired up watching the game, and maybe partying a bit. At one moment, the game is over for millions of people and they want to find something to do. They find their friends outside, get together, and “have fun”. Obviously their version of fun often results on bad consequences, but that’s all that drives it, in my opinion.
Well said.
From 60+ years of living around and observing Holder’s People, in 2009 they were all up In Yo Face, cause da won. In 2012 there is zero In Yo Face attitude, I don’t see even the lowest, rudest or more violent prone of them thinking suicide by Redneck is the way to go.
Nobama-phone free Joy/Reparations-ride be over.
Here's a hint from election 2000 of what could happen and Barack Obama is a "bring it all down, man" street agitator this time there is no one there to prevent the death and destruction . . .
Frum's "Gore Speaks" 19 Nov., 2002 column
KARENNA GORE: [Ms Gore describes the "right wing" crowd outside screaming things like "get out of Vice President Cheney's house"] And my whole attitude was, like, "We've got to fight back harder. And where are our crowds?" And my dad, I'll never forget his response. He said, "We have to do what's best for the country, and it is not good for the country to have this kind of divisiveness.["] And he was on the phone, really calling off the dogs. There were people who wanted to fan the … the flames of the racial issue and have real unrest. And he was on the phone asking them not to, because of what was best for the country not because of what was best for him politically. And that's really who he is.
[Her father Al Gore] was on the phone, really calling off the dogs. There were people who wanted to fan the … the flames of the racial issue and have real unrest. And he was on the phone asking them not to . . . .
What the hell else could that mean? The 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radicals (psycho spoiled brats), et al stirred up many a riot in the 1960s. And they have had control of the Democratic Party since the 1970s.
I guess that we will finally get to the truth — the attractive melting pot as lovingly described by our politicians is nothing more but a pressure cooker without a safety valve.
We shall find out with painful certainty that NOT ALL CULTURES ARE EQUAL.
The last time that there was a balance in cultures in this country was during the era of the Greatest Generation.
