I was there, in Detroit, in 1967 and our community was barracaided by men with guns. Every street in and out was closed to non-residents.

However I don't think an Obama loss would cause riots. The average temperature in Nov. in Detroit is probably 45. Has there ever been a winter race-riot? Not that I am aware of.

I was on record of an August convention if Hillary stole it. 90 degree days, those cities would have gone up like matchwood.

That being said the southern cities might get violent though.

I could see a couple day solidarity riot to get their new plasma t.v.’s though, even in cooler weather. Besides, Detroit in the beginning of November isn’t all that cold either, some years it is light jacket weather and they will keep warm running around destroying their neighborhoods anyway.

Our business was located down on Davison Ave during the riots back then, I was too young to remember but grandpa and my dad told some interesting stories about it.
