Will there be race riots if Obama loses?
examiner.com ^ | 10/10/2012 | Howard Portnoy

There are plenty of good reasons for making Barack Obama a one-term president, among them his adding of $5 trillion to the national deficit and presiding over the slowest recovery since World War II. But reason goes out the window along with common sense for dozens of Twitter followers who have posted threats to riot if Romney wins.

Twitchy offers up an assortment of tweets that center on this theme. The majority of them are in black “eye dialect. Here is a sampling:

I Heard Mitt Romney , Tryna Take Away Food Stamps , If He Do ."IMA START A RIOT , IMA START A RIOT" —@ThugPickles

If Romney win Imma start riot!— IG: Mocha_21 (@SpoilMe24_7) —@SpoilMe24_7

If Romney is elected president, its gon be a riot its gon be a riot. —PhillyB_2Insane

on b if romney become president im a start a riot on 11th in front of heb and subway. oh im a make the damn news. espn, kbtv, and kfdm.— You askin too much!! (@MyCup_OILY) —@MyCup_OILY

If ROMNEY GETS IN THE WHITE HOUSE ...U MIGHT AS WELL KILL ME NOW .....CAUSE ITS GONNA BE A MOTHERF**KIN RIOT !!! —@J_freakyArtemis

Twitchy notes that a number of the tweets have since been deleted, and one poster has apologized for his tweet, claiming it was a “joke.” And an hilarious one at that.

No.

That's the beauty of the landslide defeat The Won is facing.

I hope not, but if so I am prepared to defend the homefort, though I do doubt anything of consequence would happen in this conservative country town I live in.

How much is enough? I don’t see a prolonged firefight so just how much should I have on hand. 200 - 300 rounds per weapon?

This will result in a response similar to that seen in Chicago after the Bulls win the championship....only it will be in every major city.

More from the Obama Media Group just to scare the same sheeple suffering from white guilt that voted for him the last time to vote for him again - or else the hoards will be at their door to take away their Mocha Latte!

Probably not... but the little woman and I plan on spending a little extra time at the range over the next few weeks. Target practice is always a good stress relieving activity.

In 1964 they told me that if I voted for Goldwater there would be riots in cities and we would have half a million troops in Vietnam. They were right: I voted for Goldwater and we had riots in the streets and half a million troops in Vietnam.

Prediction: there will be riots, regardless of who wins.

There will definitely be riots.
Even if they, the “youths” et al, are not really that upset, just the opportunity that will be presented to riot, and they relish the thought, will goad them on. Riot they will!
And that is one of the best reasons we have for rooting for Romney. Because this will show their true colors. If they don’t get what they want, they will resort to violence, democracy be damned. The “silent majority” will be strengthened, for years to come. SO.... let it be. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajCYQL8ouqw&info=Beatles_LetItBe

It could perhaps be the best thing that could happen to this nation. Reality is something that we are afraid to face.

Too long have we lived in a dream world repeating the same lie over and over again that multiculturalism is our great strength and that MLK’s dream has been fullfilled.

No way, Jose!

These animals riot over basketball games. You can be assured that if Obama is not re-elected that there will be bloody riots in Los Angeles and Chicago and Detroit and possibly a few other Democrat run Hell holes.

Depends on how good a shot you are.

I don't think more than 5 or 10 targets will present before the rest determine that the grass is greener a few miles away.

It depends on Obama and how he concedes the election. If he is as cordial as McCain was (even though he sucked as a candidate, he was very gracious in his defeat). If Obama can get his folks behind Romney then it will be ok.

Nothing will happen until their fictional”benefits” are reduced or taken away.

They don’t really care who is president.
