All it will take is for just ONE idiot in the ghettos to start the riots, and they will rapidly spread out across the entire country.

Assuming the '60's and the Rodney King riots to be typical, they just burn their own neighborhoods.....I'd call that an accelerated form of urban renewal.....what's not to  like.....

The riots we can deal with (it's long past time)......

What we don't need is another black (political) martyr.......I couldn't tolerate driving down "Barak Hussein Obama Boulevard" every place I travel....... :mad:

I have to say I agree.   Every other street here and in other cities is named MLK blvd.  We even have a friggin' ordinance here that says no duplicate street names or streets with proper names are allowed and every other street downtown is named  MLK something.   :mad:

What else can they do at this point.

Standing in front of places of business and holding their breath until they collectively turned blue or got their way was a tactical failure last fall.  So yeah, rioting's the next logical step for them.

I'm kinda looking forward to it, actually.

So true. Most large scale riots occur usually because of one person was a victim of police brutality.

Well, they're running short of cop cars to take a dump on. And when the temps get warmer, that's when they get feisty.

Or would it just accelerate the time at which this does happen? I think it's not a matter of "if," but "when."

I've been saying that for years.

Did someone mention the Rodney King riots ? I'm still upset over those verdicts, and I never got my free TV and VCR. To account for inflation, they should convert to Flat Screen, and Blue Ray.
