Are Riots Being Planned for November 5?
The New American ^ | November 3, 2008 | William F. Jasper

"Police departments in cities across the country are beefing up their ranks for Election Day, preparing for possible civil unrest and riots after the historic presidential contest," reported The Hill, a Washington, D.C.-based newspaper and Internet site, on October 21.

The article continued:

Public safety officials said in interviews with The Hill that the election, which will end with either the nation's first black president or its first female vice president, demanded a stronger police presence.

Some worry that if Barack Obama loses and there is suspicion of foul play in the election, violence could ensue in cities with large black populations. Others based the need for enhanced patrols on past riots in urban areas (following professional sports events) and also on Internet rumors.

Similar articles have broached the issue and the Internet is rife with speculation about possible post-election violence.

One of the hints frequently pointed to is a statement by Democratic Party campaign strategist James Carville on CNN:

But you stop and contemplate this country if Obama goes in and he has a consistent five point lead and loses the election, it would be very, very, very dramatic out there.

It’s a good opportunity to see which cars turn over the easiest.

Just wondering why the Russians aren’t demanding the chance to monitor these elections. If some of the antics we are hearing about across the USA were taking place in an election in Russia our State Department would be accusing the Russians of not being fully democratic.

Put it this way.

If Obama loses I would not want to be a paleface at that Grant Park Rally tonight.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say riots are planned, though I wouldn’t be surprised at someone egging them on. I do think riots will happen if Obama loses as a matter of logical outcome. As a matter of fact I’d bet your next paycheck on it.

I don’t think so, but many have reported that many polling places had police protection. I would not be surprised if it were to protect Obama voters from those eeeevvvvil Republicans.
On the other hand, if there are riots, I am sure that the police will be there to protect Obama’s constituents from the storeowners whose stores are broken into and burning down.

No matter if he wins or loses, it’s going to be ugly. If he does win, a riot will be the piece de resistance.

Obama, first black man elected president, being hustled out of his victory party due to violence. It’s not going to be easy for him. A lot of people are going to have their hand out when he moves up.

I wouldn't bet on that. There are an awful lot of handguns floating around the inner cities. I have read that the murder rate in Chicago alone is 4 time that of Baghdad, and I know we have seen our share of handgun murders here in Boston this year. Those drive-by shootings aren't done with spit balls, ya know.

Here in Massachusetts, where the right to carry is pretty much at the discretion of the individual city and town police chiefs, many of whom are absolutely opposed to 2nd amendment rights, it can be awfully difficult for law abiding citizens such as myself to get a legal permit. In addition to having appropriate training and passing a background check, you also have to demonstrate a "legitimate reasong" to get a cc permit. The police chiefs get to decide whether or not they think your stated reason is "legitimate."

If he wins - there will be riots. If he loses - there will be riots. The only thing to worry about.....is how bad it’s going to be.

Nah, street rioting isn't generally the Republican style.

Not trying to sound alarmist, but if Barack Obama loses tonight there is going to be civil unrest in cities with large black populations.

And that’s if Barack loses under any circumstances. If it’s close, like Florida in 2000, cities will burn for days.

If Barack Obama wins, which I’m sorry to say is quite likely, then some cities with large black populations will see overly excited jubilance which may result in some not so minor property and personnel damage.

Always keep the 12 guage handy and loaded - just in case, you know.

If there are riots, the DNC should be charged for all the $ damages.
They did not properly vet their lead candidate at all!
