Haha, it's cute how they try to be politically correct. "These preparations are just as much to stop rioting women as they are to brutally oppress inner-city impoverished blacks!"

Better to be safe than sorry, I guess.

What a disgusting article and a disgusting premise.

What about all the potential wingnuts who will riot when Obama racks up a 10% popular vote victory?

Will they be ramping up presence in conservative dominated areas?

What, farms?  A cow-tipping rampage?  Shooting road signs?

LOL at the thread title, tho.

The PUMAs could riot if Obama wins, shutting Hillary out of the white house forever. There could also be fears some riots, pogroms, or attempted lynchings in heavily white, heavily fundie Republican communities.

I love this line:

Frank Vanore, of the Philadelphia Police Department, said officials were planning to mobilize to control exuberant or perhaps angry demonstrations after the World Series, which pits the Phillies against the Tampa Bay Rays.

He said the boosted police activity would “spill right over to the election.”

Actually the premise is typical of segregation in this county.  No, while the crowds as some events might be rowdy, they won't be rioting.

Hell, we riot when our team WINS at OSU.  Obama supporters might do the same.
