Post by: RoadKingLarry on May 04, 2016, 07:57:01 AM
Since Trump is now the "presumptive nominee" how nasty will the riots in Detroit be come the GOP Convention?

Opposition will come unhinged.  I expect Fergeson level.

Are you referring to riots staged by professional protestors paid for by Soros and other liberal money bags?

I guess I could imagine Ferguson-level (i.e., multiple arsons, nightly scuffles with LE). It all depends on how well the local PD handles things.

It all depends on how many rioters demonstrators Hillary can afford at the time.

In Detroit, conventioneers don't riot, rioteers have convention.

I like pie.

Unlikely that there will be much internal rioting.  Outside, it will be Chicago 1968.  Mayor Daily, where are you when your country needs you?

I can't imagine that there will be nationwide violence of any significant scale.  Yeah, there may be protesting, marches, etc.  Maybe a flare-up here and there around those demonstrations.  The thugs may take advantage in some places to try some looting/burning.

As for Cleveland, now that could get ugly.  I'm 150 miles southwest of there, in a rural county, and EMA (county Emergency Management Agency) is already scheduling meetings for the county emergency response committee.  Thought is Cleveland will be a magnet for nutjobs on both sides of this one, and a mix of the two may be explosive.

Is it weird/bad that I don't want to vote for Trump, but I'm somewhat interested in shooting people in my AO that riot over him?

Ragnarök sounds pretty pretty good. (I had to look it up)  But I don't think it will happen :(

I guess the question will be if Trump rolls in his own supporters to help keep the professional lefty protesters in check.  That could get interesting.

What kind of pie?

I don't know about riots, but I think possible entertainment value provided by the more hapless cannon fodder of the black lives matter movement (i.e. the SJWs) could be epic.

I like pie.  Cherry, apple, strawberry-rhubarb, et al.
Rioting by Republicans?  Nada, zip and zilch.  Rioting by Democrats, the FSA, and their fellow travelers?  Probably a fair amount.

It'll be interesting for the contrast,  I expected the usual suspects to trash the east side when the Tamir Rice verdict didn't go their way.  All that happened was a smallish number of people being jackasses in traffic during rush hour.

I think if the Detroit elected critters and the police are smart, they'll be able to divert the rioters to some of the neighborhoods that have been abandoned where there are loads of wrecked empty houses around.  They can burn those down and accomplish urban renewal by opening up vast tracts of farmland to give to the poor so they can live and work the land like the Olden Days.

Because the OP stated "how nasty will the riots in Detroit be come the GOP Convention?"  He probably got those Yankee cities confused.  :lol:

I predict that outside of the convention center will resemble the 1968 Chicago riots on steriods.  Those will also follow Trump thoughout the campaign.  Whether it's enough to "get this party started" is debatable.  However, I predict there will be Kent State type events as the left will push things far beyond the breaking point.

No not really, just what states they are in, beyond that they are pretty much the same with Detroit being in worse shape.  =|

The Left has always managed to implement a self defeating prophecy.  The more civil disturbance the more the fence sitters lean toward Trump.
