Will there be race riots if Obama loses?

There are plenty of good reasons for making Barack Obama a one-term president, among them his adding of $5 trillion to the national deficit and presiding over the slowest recovery since World War II. But reason goes out the window along with common sense for dozens of Twitter followers who have posted threats to riot if Romney wins.

Twitchy offers up an assortment of tweets that center on this theme. The majority of them are in black “eye dialect. Here is a sampling:

I Heard Mitt Romney , Tryna Take Away Food Stamps , If He Do ."IMA START A RIOT , IMA START A RIOT" —@ThugPickles

If Romney win Imma start riot!— IG: Mocha_21 (@SpoilMe24_7) —@SpoilMe24_7

If Romney is elected president, its gon be a riot its gon be a riot. —PhillyB_2Insane

on b if romney become president im a start a riot on 11th in front of heb and subway. oh im a make the damn news. espn, kbtv, and kfdm.— You askin too much!! (@MyCup_OILY) —@MyCup_OILY

If ROMNEY GETS IN THE WHITE HOUSE ...U MIGHT AS WELL KILL ME NOW .....CAUSE ITS GONNA BE A MOTHERF**KIN RIOT !!! —@J_freakyArtemis

Twitchy notes that a number of the tweets have since been deleted, and one poster has apologized for his tweet, claiming it was a “joke.” And an hilarious one at that.

My prediction is that blacks vote 20% for Romney. It’s time for the division in our country to stop.

[OrangeHoof]

I hope they try it. It will be a wake up call to many that we’re no longer in a democracy but mob rule in some parts of the country.

Fine by me. Burn your cities down. Burn your selves down. Burn your selves straight to hell.

The might as well, we're the ones who will pay for it anyway.

[Chode]

and those that lived there rebuilt it too!!! but the SB pretty much still looks the same cause the scum that lives there sure as hell won't lift a finger to help rebuild it...

[cripplecreek]

I think the wind is definitely shifting. Not as quickly as we would like but things are definitely changing.

Libyagate may come up at the next three debates. That is enough time for the average person to catch on to the cover-up.

[EKTACHROME]

LOL! That's funny.

(I don't care who you are)

The ghettos of L.A. are now far more Mexican than black.

This changes the whole dynamic.

300 or 400 of these will be handy.-------

Barack and Mischelle will be very upset but I doubt that they would blow up their neighborhood

[nomad]

They DO NOT want to try and come into my community, all I can say is, it`ll be a target rich environment for the dozens of defenders, a real turkey shoot!

"The leeches are gonna run outta other peoples money. "

That's when the real fun begins...

The Kenyan must go.

Frank Zappa stated it best (Rappin' thirty years before it was cool).

The Kenyan must go.

I’ll be adding a long gun to my normal loadout in my truck come November.

We don’t know what is going to happen, but I do know that a pistol isn’t my first choice for firepower.

[SampleMan]

It depends on Obama and how he concedes the election.

So you are saying, "HUGE RIOTS for sure".

[svcw]

I am always amazed that people who riot, burn and loot, riot, burn and loot their own neighborhoods.

[svcw]

Since mormons are voting 95% for Romney, in the past, just a curiosity do you expect a 20% shift to obama?

[Nancy92]

You can be assured that if Obama is not re-elected that there will be bloody riots in Vermont, Hawaii, Boston, WV and other Democrat run places.

[supremedoctrine]

No riots, just a lotta noise and mock righteous indignation, for about a week, and probably a dozen or so incidents like what happened in Pittsburg in the alley to that highschool teacher (posted on FR)
