election day riots

[aquaknight]

You guys really took the French simile too far. I merely used it to point out that life as we know it, or as the country we know it, isn't going to fall off the map.
No one is going to shoot you because of your views. You may get shot if you're throwing Molotov cocktails into houses with families or smashing someone's business out of blind rage because your candidate lost.

Those assuming people are being racist need to wake up. People are not being racist nor are they hoping for rioting, but when a candidate draws 48,000-90,000 people to venues the possibility of "celebrations" or "rioting" is very good.......These are sports stadium numbers and concert festival numbers. Not presidential candidate numbers. Many are looking at this same way they look at sports championships....That is the bottomline.
That pretty sad when people are frightened by the fact a presidental candidate is actually attracting the same amount of spectactors as a sporting event. What it is to be a US American.
It is true tho the last time a black man drew this many people to hear him speak the white man got him good.

Fixed yer post.
Every white person in the world, collectively, did not commit that heinous murder and I hope we can someday realize that. I know black people that will not be rioting. I know white people that will look for any excuse to be unruly. I do not lump them together with everyone that looks similar.

If McCain was able to draw a crowd like Obama is able too this would never be said or implied about his gathering. It's being said about Obama because many people in the crowd will be black...don't deny that. Bunch of racists here who want this too happen so they can shoot blacks.
no one in there right mind wants to shoot anyone...get a grip.
I traded my 12 gauge about 1 year ago for my 120 gallon...I am screwed...guess I can throw buckets of water at the tresspassers (if any) and hope that the saltwater gets in their eyes.
Eh, if my little town riots it surely will make the news...first drive by's committed using combines.

I changed my post because it obviously came across somewhat antagonistic which does not help matters.

No No its people with guns kill people. although it would be nice if we all were not such sissys any more and fought like men, with fists and knives now that would be a riot/fight worth getting excited about.

Sorry but if somebody is that far out of control I am not going to be civilized and fist fight them to the death .
When you fight you fight to win . If you die your dead and it doesn't mean a rats rump if your fought like a sissy because your dead .
I'm not looking forward to anything . But If trouble knocks on my door I'm not going to invite it in and offer it a soda .

A) "party against guns"? Huh, I'm a democrat and own several of them. Maybe against letting ANYONE have one, yes, but against them???
B)Again your personal observation is incorrect. The republanization of the military has been decreasing over time. According to the LA Times, through the Military times, republicans only represent 46% of the military.
http://www.commondreams.org/views07/0105-33.htm
Granted, McCain has a 3 to 1 lead with service member currently overseas according to the Military time (sorry, I seem to have lost the link, but its on the military time's website), but that doesn't mean they are "Republicans", heck I voted for Bush the first time, does that mean I'm a republican, NO
Again, I quote Senator Obama, who said he would make illegal the selling, manufacturing, or possession of a handgun...
A 3 to 1 majority is fairly significant to me. If it came down to rioting I'm pretty sure I know which side they would fall in with.

Why does it seem as if some of you are looking forward to this? I see, if there if are large groups of blacks congregating together then they are bound to riot? It's really sad when even the Mods get in on the action.
Jmick, how the Heck did this turn into a racial discussion for you? You, and i mean you only, are trying to make this thread racial.

So do you believe that this kind of a situation would divide the military as well as the civilian population ?
If so do you believe its possible that we could be looking at another civil war ?

I'm pretty sure they would do as they were told, considering the whole blind obedience thing the military relies on. So, yeah, they would fall on your side if the military leaders decided not to embrace their duty and instead followed personal convictions. The military is there to protect us all, and we pay them, they are one of the only groups of people that absolutely shouldn't pick a side, that is if they really love their country. If you really think that the gov't would chose a side then maybe we should reevaluate some things.....

It depend on how it would occur.
If the Federal Government simply outlawed the making and selling of guns there would be rumbling. If they started to go into homes after them then yes we would have a problem in this Nation. I could see Governors calling up the National Guard to stop this, then the situation escalating from there.
I always get nervous when the military of a country votes significantly in the opposite direction as the civilian population. It shows one segment is out of touch with the other.

Soldiers follow a code of conduct, RoE, etc. They are not told to follow "blindly".
The military, I believe, swear to uphold the Constitution... The last time I checked rioting was not Constitutionally protected.

Your attitude regarding our military is what I dislike most about the Democratic Party. You believe they "follow blindly". Your leading politicians believe they are carpet bombing villages full of women and children, that they have already lost the war, that they are murdering civilians, etc.
Our military are some of the best trained and most educated soldiers to ever step onto the battlefield. The discussions I've had with them and overheard with them put any we have here to shame. They are smart, dedicated, self-sacrificing, and well disciplined.
As for rioting, we both believe the military should not allow that, right?
