Re: Police Prepare for Unrest

Obviously there could be disruptions either way.

If Obama loses, there could be riots in protest. If he wins there might be boisterous celebrations that need Police intervention (similar to what we see when sports teams win championships and the fans' celebrations get out of control)

Re: Police Prepare for Unrest

I personally see rioting if Senator Obama wins. There has been many the off color comments around the water cooler at work about "if 'he' wins". Maybe not rioting in the traditional sense, more like a fight that breaks out and spreads between the racial lines because someone is mad that there is "color" in the "white" house. I dont think I have heard the "N" word in my entire life, as much has I have since the polls have indicated Senator Obama is in the lead. I got an email of a picture of a motorcyclist in Florida wearing a shirt that said "N... please, its called the white house", and I am sure that isn't the only type of shirt like that out there. So I dont see it being a problem with "blacks not getting thier way" as someone stated above, I see it being a problem when the racists out there see his win as an attack on thier white power in this country.

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr Non-partisan strikes again!!

I luv ya, TStew, but... you're killing me here. LOL
TR, I love the way you took the word "even" out of my original statement. I have long heard of such tactics, but this may be the first time I've seen it up close and personal. You have apparently learned quite a bit from your political interest.

If you leave the statement the way I said it "strong emotions even on the Republican side"...it is in keeping with my opinion that there are strong emotions on both sides. I am hearing people say some pretty incredible things about an Obama Presidency and my statement was that added security precautions are probably a good idea either way.

And I love you too bro. And I am fair and balanced.

OK TS... you got me on that . My bad. I think I read your post a bit too quick. Didnt notice the "even" part in the sentence, which of course is important to what was being said there.

So feel free to apply a head-slap or two (). I walked into that one.

(quietly exiting the room... head hanging down in shame...)


But wait!! Theres more...

As a further punishment to myself, I'm NOT gonna tease you for a whole week. That's right... I'm gonna leave you alone for a whole 7 days.

.......OK, lemme not get carried away here. Maybe 7 hours, how about that? (That's the best I can do, bro. 7 hours it is )

Now, to be clear, the 7 hours will run from midnight tonight until 7am tomorrow.

OK. True, I'll be sleeping during those hours... but that's beside the point, ok?!

No, I do enjoy our conversations. I never feel like they get disrespectful or too personal. I tend to not conversate with those types for too long.

Personally, I think the massive undertakings at voter fraud currently being perpetrated by ACORN and the like are JUST CAUSE for riots. But they should be quick riots, and conducted at local ACORN offices.

I don't believe that it is right to riot or be violent or destructive. I especially do not excuse those who would do so for their prejudice or racism. But I think people DO have a right to be mad enough to act about ACORN's tactics.

Some accounts estimate that there are HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of illegitimate voter registrations in battleground states. Many more will come at the last minute in an effort to overwhelm registrar staff. In their minds, the ends justify the means, and they don't mind if a few of their people end up with fines or sentences. They'll be happy if just 1/2 or 1/3 of their fraudulent ballots are counted.

I know it is prejudiced of me, but I rather expect that there will be problems in urban areas when Obama loses.
