Will there be riots if Obama loses?

Maybe I misspelled Looses, I can never remember which one is which.

I first heard this speculation a week or so back and kinda dismissed the idea, but a number of tweets and website postings indicate there might be a few people willing to light the match of riot.

And as someone reminded me, people have rioted over halloween and basketball games so yea... I guess we could see riots if Obamer goes down.

Anyone want to go on the record with a prediction?

I think it is much more likely there will be riots if Obama wins...

Most people seem to be voting holding their noses, so no.

Don't stop there... where might these riots take place and from what demographic?

If the election is close and there's any controversy whatsoever, yes.

Another veiled, bigoted thread about black stereotypes.

[Penny Lane 8,159]

Nope.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Now give us your prediction rather than a perfunctory B.S.

You can include your "rich white guy" stuff about Romney if you want.

Back in 2008 there were several predictions that if Obama won a doomsday scenario including fire from the sky, and the fulfillment of Revelations, would come to pass. There were talks of white supremacists to initiate civil war, assassination plots and all sorts of events that would make for a good B-movie screenplay for Lifetime.

I predict that despite of who is elected president, the sun will rise the following day, there will be stars and clouds in the sky, our daily woes in life will continue, weddings will take place, tires will go flat, elevators will go up and down, amongst other things; and to be sure, time will continue its march, ever forwards.

Half the country will be happy, half will not. Life will go on as it always has.

Though maybe it will finally make my husband think seriously about us moving back to Canada?

Tell us why you would think Obama supporters would riot any more than Romney supporters, given that theres a good chance Romney will lose.

You guys really need to stop using Twitter as a news source.
