Police departments prepare for civil unrest after election

[sereia 0]

Oh so it happening all over CA, signs being vandalized, fights, people being attacked... all "those people"? Okay fine, if you say so.

I'm not sure I get how its ok to blame a group ideology for the actions of individuals. It would be like blaming Conservatives for the KKK and abortion clinic bombers/burners.

"We" don't do it. Why do you?

Police preparedness should be important. After the recent shows of implied violence by anti-Obama lunatics, I'd be hard pressed to not see some nutty, angry, Republican doing something rash on or after November 4.

I certainly will try to go to Grant Park to see Obama accept the election night results. Hopefully Secret Service and Chicago Police will be doing their jobs to keep him, his family, and his supporters, safe from harm. Lest we be reminded that the 'original' case of domestic terrorism in this country was performed by an ultra-right wing lunatic.

Yes, this is what i'm thinking...

i'm more concerned about what chaos will ensue IF Obama wins... not if he loses.

Why does anyone have to be concerned if ANYONE wins? Was there police readiness in 2004 in cities around the US?

Yes. But is anyone going to talk about WHY that would be? Why Obama and no one else?

No. Why would I want to buy into your prejudice? Clearly, I don't, in the same way as I don't buy into your CA civil unrest. Why would that be? Because, it only exists in the imagination of some poor deluded souls and the wingnuts who pray on the delusions and fears of others. There will be no mass civil disobedience and unrest no matter who wins the election - it will not happen.

What prejudice? I'm asking a question. I'm in no way saying I believe it will or won't happen (who am I to say?)

But you say it will not happen? Sorry, I didn't know you had a crystal ball.....

But how could you NOT know?!!! Didn't you look at her Avatar and see the crystal ball?!!!

Seriously, what makes anyone think there could be mass unrest? Who is spreading this fear and why?

If you want to perpetuate division, go ahead and ask if black people would be so unhappy with the electoral system that they would deny reality and demand a different result. That's your question. don't be mealy mouthed about it.

MC, you certainly have valid questions, and I think you hit the nail on the head concerning the racial issue.

There is no reason there should be any kind of mass unrest after the election, unless it IS fueled by racism, which would be a very sad testement to where we are as a country with regards to civil rights.

You know... Its been said on here a few times, by those that insist on pushing stereotypes that "libruls" are guided more by emotions than logic.

Looking at Kaydee's responses - I'm doing my best to repress a snigger.

Frankly, I, it's a shame that you're still in the closet. I think you would have a heavy burden lifted if you just embrace your liberal beliefs instead of castigating others that point out your beliefs and behaviors.

You're intellectually deceitful to yourself and as a result lash out at others in bitterness and pompous spite. Fortunately for you we recognize your affliction and realize that your behavior is deep rooted in your delusional beliefs and subsequently you expose yourself to be what you dread, a "librul"....

Ah - that must be it.

Its interesting to me that preserving your black and white view of the world requires others to conform to your crude perception of them. Its really quite strange - and yes Kaydee to use your word it is also "deceitful", deluded and just a bit demented.
