Race Riots After the Election???

The internet is full of rumors about violence following the upcoming elections.  While such talk has been around for months, even the most cautious commentators are beginning to admit that violence is likely immediately if Obama is defeated in the November elections or in January when we "fall off of the fiscal cliff" and have to cut back on welfare payments.  Here is what respected economist and columnist Thomas Sowell has to say:

It stands to reason that if a respected figure like Thomas Sowell is openly discussing the possibility of riots following the election there is some possibility of it occurring. And, as horrible as that would be, the next question that immediately comes to mind is, what would happen next? The same people who have been predicting civil unrest as a result of Obama's caustically divisive rhetoric and the "see no evil" policies of his justice department, are now warning that martial law would likely follow. Here are Sean Hannity and Jay Sekulow discussing the existing legal framework that could make that possible.

 

There have been some news items in the past few weeks that would tend to support a martial law scenario.  For example, every alphabet soup federal agency which claims to be broke has been feverishly buying small arms ammunition.  By one account, in the past year under Obama, federal agencies like the Social Security Administration, the Veterans Administration and even the National Weather Service have bought enough high powered hollow point bullets to shoot every man, woman and child in America FIVE TIMES.  They have purchased far more ammunition than the military is using to fight its wars in the Middle East and hundreds of times more than they could possibly use to arm and train their security guards.  And, to add fuel to the fire, reports like this one are coming in from around the country that U.S. Military troops are being deployed and trained in communities all over the U.S.








So, even if martial law were imposed, what happens then?  Here is Glen Beck confirming the existence of American concentration camps managed by FEMA and then denying it later:


How much of this innocent and how much is not is still very much an open question.  But, it would be foolish not to very suspicious.
