"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.

“We have 1 very nice black family, very well-liked in the community & they haven’t looked like the rioting kind to me. I heard they moved here to escape such idiocy in the city, bless them. “
Oh, absolutely. My county has about 45,000 people. The black families here are ALL rednecks and the Hispanics as well. There are also many Chinese. They are ancestors of those who built the railroads in the 1800’s. They’ve either left the urban hell they were in or have been here forever. They’re knuckledraggers just like the rest of us. Now, the illegal alien element growing dope in our forests next door is an entire different matter. That accounts for about 50% of our law enforcement efforts.
“It’s a good opportunity to see which cars turn over the easiest.”
Consumer Reports New “Hip Hop Rollover Test.”
I have skipped over any mention of riots, etc.
I think it is sterotyping in the worst way to expect racial riots if, no WHEN Obama loses. If there are riots, they are thugery riots, nothing else.
If Obama wins - civil war.
Lock and load. Time we straighten America out.
Nine what?
No kidding. That kid that was murdered on Halloween in Camden SC last week was shot with an AK47. Guy unloaded on his family. They’ve got guns but probably not much ammo, or rides to go very far!
We own a manufacturing company with a lot of complicated
machinery to move. Wish we could move though. If we sell our business, we are gone!
I’m sorry to say that it would please me no end if Chicago suffered post election damage on a par with that started by Mrs. O’leary’s cow.
LMAO!!! Jimmy....the obama Drama in Chi town. lol. look at the money Ovomit has already spent on his victory...
Heh heh, Obama fiddles while Detroit burns. Altough there’s not much left to burn.
Ask Obama how his half-brother dealt with losing the election in Kenya.
Let these two wander out into the countryside to try and intimidate people. Like I’ve said before, We’ll make short work of them.
I understand that riots will be held in most of the liberal city centers throughout the country. San Francisco, New York city, Chicago, Atlanta, Seattle, Minn/St.Paul, D.C., Boston all plan on having free food, liquor and are furnishing base ball bats to all in need. Free concerts, liquor and pot start at 6Pm in all cities. Bring your own bottles, matches and gas. /s
Maybe he shoulda just called her.
Known henceforth as the Grant Park Riot.
That seems to be the general agreement among all the people I’ve talked to. They’ll use any excuse to riot and loot.
“If there are riots, they are thugery riots, nothing else.”
Agreed. Aren’t they always?
“Once we take a stand and use our guns to defend ourselves against a murdering mob, who do you think the media will side with”.
If it came to that point when your back is against the wall, what the media thinks will be the least of your worries.
Don’t worry what they think, look out for your well being.
