Wasn't it Brownie who said something to the effect that as long as there were not riots - there wasn't a problem.

Is it enough to say to the rest of the world - "well- the election was stolen... we didn't vote for him - a majority didn't vote for them" - when there they are and here we are.



Quotes:
CNN Producer Kim Segal: It was chaos. There was nobody there, nobody in charge. And there was nobody giving even water. The children, you should see them, they're all just in tears. There are sick people. We saw... people who are dying in front of you....

<snip>

Brown: I've had no reports of unrest, if the connotation of the word unrest means that people are beginning to riot, or you know, they're banging on walls and screaming and hollering or burning tires or whatever. I've had no reports of that.
