Couldnt sleep so I turned on the live reports from CNN.com

I cant imagine looting a bank or lighting a train on fire if a Presidential candidate was killed here.....the smoky skies remind me of the scenes from Paris and the rest of France from Mooselimb Yutes.

What do you expect from a culture that glorifies death?

I couldn't imagine it in the past...but if we continue down the path we're headed, it will be a part of our future.

How about if your NBA team won a championship?

It’s to me reminescent of 1965 when I was returning from LA and blew a freeze plug in my Chrysler Imperial. I was compelled that August evening to exit at Slauson/Florence.

A most scary event. I needn’t say anymore.

I am afraid you are correct. If someone took out a populist Mexican American candidate on the verge of winning a high office the Southwest might erupt....and the spanish media played up their usual antics of blaming whitey...could happen.

Welll I live in a city where riots started after the police killed a black teenager during a crime. Blocks, upon blocks were set on fire. Same thing in LA after the Rodney King verdict...then there were the Liberty City riots years ago. And haven’t there been riots after immigration rallies? A certain segment of every population seems to be prone to violence when something happens they don’t like. It doesn’t just happen in Muslim populations.

We’ve had our share of fires and looting in this country not all that long ago and some of those followed an assassination. We have come a long way since then but as PBR stated, we could go back there if we continue on our path of becoming a third world nation.

They were a fledgling democracy when Musharraf came into power. They’ve essentially been a dictatorship ever since. That woman was their hope for more freedom & democracy.

Don’t try to inject any sense into the conversation, they just want to hate Muslims.
