poll: are the primitives honestly hoping violence breaks out?

[DumbAss Tanker]

When one shoots to stop (the antisocial action), one typically aims for the center of mass.  That's usually a fatal wound.

I'm sure that DAT can vouch for this--as a young cavalryman, we were told to "shoot until the target burns (or bleeds)."  No one-shot stuff for me, unless it's a "zombie kill" (headshot).  I'm sure that if a riot were to take place, and suddenly some of the miscreants' heads exploded from bullets going through them, the rest of the assholes would suddenly find other things to do--such as, running for their lives.

See my sigline.

Yes, but with a qualifier. The DUmmies talk a good game, they float around the fringes but none want to be in a place where they'll get hurt. They want to be able to say there were there, they were on the radical side, that they're "down with the struggle" but they don't have the guts, the solid convictions necessary to be movers & shakers or shuckers & jivers as the case may be.

H5.

Love the way you worked in the shuck and jive.

[franksolich]

Yep, as long as they're not involved.

One or two might, might, toss a bottle or brick from the anonymity of a crowd and then scurry away, but it's doubtful.

Otherwise, they'll be "doing their part" by blogging about it from the safety of their basements.

Oh damn.  I forgot.

I suppose this means the oblate spheroid, Vlada Mitty the cub reporter, is going to cover them from her living room, using the police scanner.

But she won't get to use the good rig that way; no chance to take pictures.

I expect to see riots, violence and blood in the streets when Romney wins.

So do I, and it'll be interesting to see the reaction of the one man who can cool the mob.

I'll bet he'll blame it on Bush.

But seriously, "expecting" and "hoping for" are two different things.

Decent and civilized people are expecting it; the primitives are hoping for it.

Oh, Barry will call for calm and understanding while his minions whip up anger and hatred. The DOJ will charge people with crimes for protecting themselves and/or their property. Media will de-cry the right wing hate groups. The UN will denounce the election as fraud-ridden. etc etc etc...

While Rome burns Barry will act the martyr

Yes, DU wants violence. Any casual observer can see that.

The DUmmies are the dregs and rejects of the left. But. They do share some things with the socialist communists in the democrat party. All parts of the left understand they can only achieve their goals through violence. Obama's mentor Ayers was the most open about it: After the revolution, 25 million Americans would have to be put to death.

The ignorant masses in the inner city have been cultivated by democrats to be an army. Occupiers secretly embrace terrorism. The plethora of laws make everyone a criminal.

Only one thing stands in their way. The 2nd Amendment. that was Obama's 2nd term agenda, to make it so onerous to own a weapon, people would give them up.

Frankly I do not think there will be much in the way of violence. Even the inner city knows Obama will lose, and he didn't do anything for them anyway. He could have bought them off, but squandered his chance in 2010.

There is a population who riot when their basketball team wins.

I think they are capable of it if their Prizzle loses.

[Jasonw560]

There will be the "See what violence ousting Obama begets" and Obama trying to get the results nullified and become dicktator (pun intended) for life to protect lives.

He'll try what Britain and Australia did with gun control. But we ain't Britain or Australia.

I voted "not sure".

The primitives are stupid no doubt, but are they really stupid enough to resort to a tatic for which they are ill equipped, ill trained, and ill suited?

They couldn't organize a childs birthday party much less an armed insurrection. 

Then again they are stupid.  Maybe I should have voted "yes".

I wondered who the odd ball was.

Yeah, that would be me.  I should have read the question with the emphasis on "hoping violence breaks out" and not focused on the DUmmies actually succeeding at enacting said violence.

[Duke Nukum]

I think most of them are disappointed that the OWS violence failed to materialize.

I believe that is what Van Jones was spouting off about a few years ago.

The whole problem is ideology is reality to them and reality must readjust while they evade.

[Evil_Conservative]

They are all for violence and destruction if someone else is doing it for them.  They would rather sit on their ass at home and post about it on DU.

Sorry, unlike Democrats, you can only vote once.

Awwwww, man you're just trying to disenfranchise me!  DU/mode off.

But you do have the option of changing your vote, if you wish.

[Ogre]

Frank, thanks for that information, but I will stick by my original vote.  I don't want a "do-over", I'll make sure that next time I spend a little more time reviewing my answer before selecting a response.
