Cops Reject Warning of Riots If Obama Loses on Election Day

Conservatives predicting mass violence or OJ Simpson acquittal era celebrations

Right wing bloggers cranked up the “ridiculous” and the racism heading into Election Day by circulating warnings that riots might break out in urban cities if President Barack Obama is not re-elected to office on Tuesday night. On Red State Report, in a post title “PSA for surviving Election Night Riots,” one blogger warned of mass riots if the president loses or “another celebration like when OJ Simpson was found not guilty,” if Obama wins. Last week, a few websites reported on random Twitter accounts that were seriously or jokingly threatening violence. On Monday night, law enforcement agencies in Washington D.C., Baltimore, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and San Francisco rejected claims that are preparing for election night rioting. (Buzz Feed)
