'Riots' brew on Ole Miss campus (Obama Signs Being Torched)

OXFORD, MS -

(WMC-TV) – Reports are coming in that riots are brewing on the Ole Miss campus in Oxford, Mississippi.

Phone calls are coming into our newsroom and photos are being posted to Twitter of the situation on campus.

The Ole Miss campus television station is reporting the alleged "riots" are instead protests.

Photos show huge group of people on the campus, some even lighting Obama-Biden signs on fire in response to the presidential election results.

Ole Miss journalism student Margaret Ann Morgan posted to Twitter, "Onlookers say people- black, white, etc- throwing rocks at cars."

She continued, "Students of all races yelling on rebel drive. Lots of racial slurs."

Morgan also mentioned she is ashamed at what she saw and heard on her campus following the election.

Nicholas Carr claims no rocks were thrown and the majority of the people at the protests were there to see what was going on.

"I was there the whole time. No rocks were thrown. There was 1 sign lit on fire. For about 45 seconds," Carr said. "Mostly, it was 100s of college kids who heard the word riot and ran to take pictures and see what it was about. Again, no rocks or missiles thrown."

Action News 5 has a crew on the way to Oxford. Keep checking with WMCTV.COM for updates.

Military enlistment will increase to the max that the services are allowed. A guaranteed paycheck.

We have to destroy the treasonous media. Not sure how, but the country cannot survive if people keep drinking the kool-aid. Maybe it’s too late.

Come quickly, Lord Jesus!

Is it not amazing how many freepers still cling to this naive notion that race has nothing to do with this...and for one group it’s about not race but religion

White freepers in homogeneous areas are simply daft about realities since they do not live with the implications of minorities in control

well...these kids at Ole Miss...my alma mater...know better in a 40% black state where 87-90% of whites vote GOP

duh?

for a reason

America is now effectively a white minority nation when nearly 60% of whites can vote GOP nationally and still lose

and every minority except Cubans and maybe Viets...the latter doesn’t matter..vote Democrat for handouts and as an anti white power establishment vote since they see themselves as victims of ME and my kin...

Jews vote anti Christian...they simply do as a rule

here is how it fell

2008/2012

Blacks...95/97

latinos...70/75...that likely won the elction and Obama barely courted them...he just knew the non white latinos would go his way

orientals..67/73...why do they vote left...they don’t need handouts

Jews.....75/71...down a hair but still...don’t get me started on them...they don’t need handouts either

Catholics...55/51....i mean really..Good lord

only...and I mean only bright side

white kids under 30 upped their vote for GOP 9 points and voted 51% GOP...that surprised me

this all bodes for a dark road ahead

the left and the minority power structure will exact it’s second Reconstruction on us if they can

I do not think white northern liberals can be changed anymore than minorities

it’s all happened in my life...i am glad my folks and my grandparents didn’t have to see it

i fear for my children

I lived in a black area, an area where I was the only white guy and trust me the black population there wore their racism on their sleeves with pride.

What you doing here white boy, this not your area and all sorts of crap, took the dog for a walk and got asked if my dog wanted to fight their dog.

This is the crap we deal with and the black racism gets ignored because so long as blacks think some whites are doing well then the black population will be angry and vote Dem

Blacks won this election for oabma because he is not white and thta is a fact whether we like that fact or not but sadly some even on here can;t get that fact into their heads.

got into a massive arguemnt wiht a large black woman about her food stmaps and seeing her get cash off her welfare card and then buying vodka,.
Why should I pay for her vodka food, toilet paper etc.

Most blacks have no idea what they have voted for except color.Hell some were poll workers who don;t even understand the basics of being a poll workers and having oabma pictures up, wearing obama hats, throwing out republican observers,

From what I read it didn’t appear to be a riot at all and it’s very likely that if rocks were thrown at cars it wasn’t by the “rioters” but by the “ralliers”. whether this was a riot or a rally would be defined on the press and the deciding factor would probably bbe if the were to be pro Romney = RIOT or pro obama = RALLY.

I understand the magnitude of the situation we are in now. That's why I am supporting working outside the broken, corrupt, and unconstitutional system we are trying to change. It will take a revolutionary sized change to salvage anything good this nation was built on. It's not an optimal option, but it's the only option left. Anyone looking to continue working within the system on a national level need to wake up and accept the truth.
