OXFORD, MS -

(WMC-TV) – Reports are coming in that riots are brewing on the Ole Miss campus in Oxford, Mississippi.

Phone calls are coming into our newsroom and photos are being posted to Twitter of the situation on campus.

The Ole Miss campus television station is reporting the alleged "riots" are instead protests.

Photos show huge group of people on the campus, some even lighting Obama-Biden signs on fire in response to the presidential election results.

Ole Miss journalism student Margaret Ann Morgan posted to Twitter, "Onlookers say people- black, white, etc- throwing rocks at cars."

She continued, "Students of all races yelling on rebel drive. Lots of racial slurs."

Morgan also mentioned she is ashamed at what she saw and heard on her campus following the election.

Nicholas Carr claims no rocks were thrown and the majority of the people at the protests were there to see what was going on.

"I was there the whole time. No rocks were thrown. There was 1 sign lit on fire. For about 45 seconds," Carr said. "Mostly, it was 100s of college kids who heard the word riot and ran to take pictures and see what it was about. Again, no rocks or missiles thrown."

Action News 5 has a crew on the way to Oxford. Keep checking with WMCTV.COM for updates.

Obama said “we are not as divided as our politics would have you believe”

Yes. We are. We are more deeply divided than we have been since the civil war.

Anyone else predicting a massive drop in military enlistment after this election? I can’t imagine people being willing to fight for this country anymore.

We chose this. Demographics is destiny, and Western civilization decided to not show up.

The GOP will not win a national election again unless they start handing out more free stuff to immigrants.

I was thinking this same thing last night. I sure wouldn’t. And Obama sure won’t miss them.

They will still lose because they will be trying to hand out less of the “free stuff”.

Frustration from real students who get it that Obama is bad for the future. They have every right to vent since the left does it all the time.

To where?

Look at the fault lines, there is no real boundary. It is large city vs small towns and rural.

You are missing the point of the socialist economy. The military will become just another government check and fiefdom.

I think this will reduce military recruiting a lot. We left four men behind in Benghazi. No one cared.

I am done as well. I gave many hours volunteering, and gave money for charity. I am done with that. I am done caring.
