I’m not labeling the entire black population as rioters.

What I am saying is that given the opportunity there will be people who will riot.

With the OJ Simpson riots, were they really rioting over OJ? Were they rioting over a perceived injustice? Or were they simply using an excuse to beat people on the streets, target Asian business owners and set portions of their city on fire?

The irrational walk among us. We ignore them at our peril. These are the people I’m concerned about. Not the people who will look at Obama and realize exactly what happened, how it happened and what he did.

I know white people who are going to feel that the justice system is F-ing with Obama if he loses. That’s because liberals have been taught to believe that the justice system is the mechanism by which they transform America. When these white people see that the Constitution stopped Obama in his tracks, they’re going to be pissed.

Some of them might even be dangerous.

There is always the opportunity for rioting. And if we don’t get some semblance of the rule of law within our own government what was once labeled “rioting” will become an everyday fact of life.

Like recent racial attacks somebody else mentioned. That’s becoming more and more common. Obama financially supported his cousin, Raila Odinga, whose plan to get into office in Kenya was to use false claims of election stealing to spark violence. It was a pre-arranged, giant-sized temper tantrum by somebody with a 2-year-old mentality who had made an agreement with Muslims who wanted Odinga in because he would establish sharia for them and stop the Kenyan government from cooperating with US anti-terrorism measures. It is no accident that US tax dollars after Obama was elected have gone to push for a new Kenyan constitution that authorizes the use of sharia. I suspect it is also not an accident that Kenya’s neighbors - Somalia, Sudan, Nigeria, etc - are increasingly becoming hotbeds of Islamist terrorism.

Like it or not, there are people who thrive on violence as a way to power. And I think that’s what you’re saying too. We need to be aware of that, yes. But we also need to know that if we ever let them get away with it or let fear of them dictate what we do, they will continue to do it and it will be worse for us than if we had confronted them directly.

They weren’t rioting over OJ Simpson. They were rioting over the dismissal of LA police of criminal liability by a majority white jury in Simi Valley (not LA) who were caught on tape beating a “defenseless” Rodney King who was speeding to evade being pulled over by police. This was during the robert gates tenure as LA POlice Chief in which there was significant friction between police and the minority populace due to higher incidents of police brutality.

Reginald Denny was pulled out of his truck by latino gang members in south central LA. After that most of the rioting involved was burning and looting of shops (predominantly owned by Koreans) in that area.
