Jonathan Turley: Election Day riots – how did we get here? Dems, liberal media share blame

nota bene said:
Jonathan Turley writes about driving around D.C. during the last few days and being shocked by the boarded-up businesses and by the faculty/staff and students at George Washington University being advised to stockpile medicine and food “as you normally would for a hurricane or a snowstorm." He asks a good question: "When exactly did election rioting become as forecastable as inclement weather?" He goes on:

The forecast for rioting with a chance of passing looting and arson is being repeated across the country as if it is now an inconvenient truth of the political version of global warming.

A warm front moving in with “possible election related disruptions” is being reported like an electoral meteorological event.

The most likely disruption would come a close election or Trump lead. That risk is heightened after Democratic leaders like House Majority Whip James Clyburn, D-S.C. declared on Sunday that the only way Democrat Joe Biden could lose the election would be "for voter suppression to be successful."

Thus, if Trump is close or winning on election night, it can only be due to unlawful conduct. When President Trump made such statements about stealing the election, the media went into full alert over his laying the foundation for a coup.

Yet, the media seems entirely comfortable with Clyburn’s pre-election declaration that either Biden wins or the election is invalid. https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/election-day-riots-liberal-media

Has your community been warned to expect "election-related disruptions"?

We’ve had liberals for as long as we had a nation. I’ve witnessed every presidential election since JFK and there has never been a risk of violence from an election.
If there is a risk of violence this time around, it isn’t because of liberals, it’s because the Mango Mussolini riled up his base and encourages violence and disruption.
Nobody in the media is saying Biden can’t win or if he does it’s because of voter suppression. 538 acknowledges that Biden is likely to win but it’s not a certainty.

What about the people that have been rioting and burning and looting in Portland, Seattle, Chicago, NY, Los Angeles, Philadelphia. Since May. Just a coincidence that it is the businesses in these Dem cities that are boarding up their storefronts?

Yes, you should stop YOUR right wingers from looting and arson. Yo right wingers want to make DEM areas hellholes, and then use your arsenals to stop libs from getting anywhere you live.

As reasonable as Turley sounds...he's not watching CNN or MSNBC, etc.

He's watching Fox News and he believes all the crap Hannity tells him about liberals and Democrats.

That. Or he's watched the rioting and burning and looting in his home town of Washington DC this summer. And is watching the town prepare for the same today.

We worked to keep our people peaceful, and YOU didnt stop YOUR right wingers from looting and arson. Prove your sillly claims.

Sorry, but to make your claim, you'll have to show right wingers looting and arson. I don't think you can.

But YOU KNOW I can show BLM/Antifa looting and burning.

Washington DC is not Turley's "hometown".

He's from Chicago, and lives in Virginia.

No, DC is not his hometown. He'd tell you the same.

I've rarely met someone as enthusiastic about being from Chicago as he is.

Seriously. Is there a nit too small for you to not to pick? I've never lived a day my life in Queens, but the Mets are my hometown team

Why double down, if it's such a small "nit"?

I am endlessly amused when people on the internet try to speak for people I know personally.

Great. I know him personally too. Your nutbag friends here are all dumping on him as some delusional FoxNews stooge. I step up to defend him and you go after me for a ****ing nit. Seriously, did I piss in your cornflakes?
 
There is no other President in our history capable of creating the conditions for the expected violence after the election. Think about that. He is a divider.. Not good.

I’d expect massive riots if Biden loses. BLM and Antifa are animals. I’d expect some random violence if Trump loses. White non antifa people tend not to be the riot types. They are more of the Nazi murderous types.

A lot of people will die this week. Trump supporters better stay home if they know whats good for them. I think this will be like the purge.

I’ll be watching on TV while these nutcases battle it out.

He's wrong.

If there's going to be violence it's going to come from the same people who tried to run Biden's campaign bus off the road, the same people who tried to kidnap the Michigan governor, and the same people who think their fellow citizens do not deserve to have their right to vote respected.

Really?

I think we non right wingers will sigh relief, and melt from all the chaos and ptsd we have had. I think all nonright wingers will simply get to repair. Oh, and imprison trump.

Biden will win this, but not by enough to not destroy a lot of things.

Typical snowflake response. PTSD :ROFLMAO: Did you forget that Republicans suffered through Obama for 8 years? The whining I've heard for the last 4 years make the previous 8 years seem like only a mild disagreement. Republican didn't loot and burn down cities.

Is that why they are boarding up storefronts and the owners are spraying "black lives matter" on the plywood just so Trump supporters won't loot and burn them to the ground? Hopefully, some people are smarter than that.
