Were there any riots??

[allison443]

There was a lengthy thread yesterday or the day before with many posters suggesting there would be riots, whether due to anger or celebration.
I haven't heard anything about any riots or extreme celebration...did this dire prediction come to pass anywhere? I definitely hope not!

I haven't heard any reports of rioting. Jumping up and down - yes. Riots - no. I hope the Dis conservatives aren't too disappointed. I will go tip over my trash can full of leaves if someone promises to re-rake them for me.

Not to my knowledge however I am sure this still does not matter to the nay sayers! HAH!

predicting riots, regardless of last night's results, was disgusting - the worst kind of racial stereotyping. It would be nice to think in the 21st century that people could move beyond that kind of crap.

You know, I was thinking of this when I was watching the crowd at Grant Park last night. After all the predictions of rioting, the people in the crowd looked just like my neighbors--young and old, black, white, hispanic. Just people celebrating--not folks who were going to go bananas if their candidate won or lost. It was another made up fear tactic.

I saw celebrations in Times Square, in Harlem, in Chicago, everywhere.

I rioted my fridge at 2:00 a.m., does that count?

Only if you didn't clean up after yourself.
