These minor incidents of violence are not a good sign

[burythehatchet]

We know that there have been a nunmber of physical confrontations at rally's and other gatherings.

Cruella deville almost gets run over by a true patriot.

mAnn Colter gets pied.

Remember the Novak incident in New Hapshire?

I think everyone agrees that there is a lot of hostility that's been simmering for 4 years. Is it boiling over? What's next?

1. Yes and no.

I think there are people on both sides who are ready to crack some heads, so I'm sure there will be some scuffles. But, they will be quickly ended by law enforcement. It's not like we're in a police vacuum or anything.

3. we're not in a police electorial fraud vacuum with Ashcroft or anything?

sigh...

I wish that were true.

5. I was speaking to violence breaking out...

...not election fraud, although the two may end up connected. While the police may not prevent fraud, they will prevent any violence from getting out of hand, regardless of the political affiliation of those involved.

2. round 'em up and put them on their very own survivor island

we'll just tell them we're taking them somewhere they won't ever have to worry about paying taxes again, and they can pray and sway and hate whoever the hell they want to and never need to be politically correct again.

It should practically be a utopia for them.

Oh wait, I forgot, that's what they're trying to turn America into - a utopia of selfishness, bigotry and extremism.

4. When The Cimperor Loses

some Freepers WILL get violent.

7. back early in the year

I believe our own Symbolman witnessed him get into a shoving match with a heckler who calling him a traitor.
