“If obama dont get re-elected & romney wins .. on life every white persons getting pistol whipped and im startin a riot.” ( SOURCE) “If Obama don’t win lets start a riot so Romney know what he’s getting himself into.” ( SOURCE) “You know you ain’t shit if you gotta “MAKE” Mafukas vote for ROMNEY ! …. Mannnn OBAMA better get back in office . Or BLACK FOLKS will riot.” ( SOURCE) “If Romney wins im goin on a rampage.” ( SOURCE) “If Mitt Romney wins the election I think its our duties as Black folks to riot and fuck shit up.” ( SOURCE) “If every action IS met with an equal and opposite reaction ..what should workers do to employers if Romney’s elected? #Riot in the streets!!” ( SOURCE) “If Romney becomes president let’s all start a riot.” ( SOURCE) “I Heard Mitt Romney , Tryna Take Away Food Stamps , If He Do .”IMA START A RIOT , IMA START A RIOT.” ( SOURCE) “If romney wins, imma start a mf’n riot! Rns.” ( SOURCE) Although most of the individuals posting the messages don’t even attempt to justify why they plan to riot, others have pointed to fears about a Romney administration withdrawing or limiting government handouts. You can check out some of the screenshots from these Twitter users below. We didn’t even include all of the messages because there are simply too many to track. In addition to rhetoric about starting riots if Obama loses, Twitter users have also targeted Mitt Romney with death threats. “I swear if Mitt Romney becomes president, I’m gonna be the one to assassinate his a*s (sic),” wrote one “If Mitt Romney win imma assassinate him (sic),” added another Obama supporter. Given the fact that Americans routinely riot in response to results of sporting events that don’t go their way, the notion that civil unrest could ensue if Obama is defeated is perfectly plausible. Only this weekend, almost a thousand skateboarders rioted because they were unable to attend a movie premiere in Hollywood because the theater only holds 600 people. Racial attacks carried out by mobs of black youths have also gone underreported in the media, most notably in places like Chicago and Virginia, as well as attacks at fairgrounds in Wisconsin.
