Man things are gonna get ugly in the months to come.
Regardless who wins, violence is guaranteed.
If there's one thing that will bring fence-sitters to your cause, it's firebombings!
[QUOTE=CroGamer002;51212442]Regardless who wins, violence is guaranteed.[/QUOTE] no its not, not usually in america. usually the person that looses conceeds that they didnt run the right campaign and that everything is over, we have fucking brownshirt trump now telling people to go intimidate voters at the polls, that the system is rigged, convinced that he is going to win by a landslide, and promisses that he will not accept anything but a victory. that is not usual behavior in the US
Call me crazy, but I don't think firebombing a building is the best way to convince people that the other side are the bad guys.
Okay, I was wrong, both sides are insane.
Somehow, they'll find a way to blame this on Trump. Just you watch.
It's been brewing on the backburner for awhile, it was only a matter of time. What's worse is that this gives some sense of justification for radicalism in the Trump seats now. Good job to whoever did this, you effectively just fired the opening shots, and now we wait for the radicals from both-ends to take this as a reason to go gunning.

Trumpsters will riot in the streets and some probably start insurgency because they'll think Clinton will be illegitimate president. But if Trump wins, the left and minorities will freak out as well. They will definitely go into full on protest mode. And protests are getting way more out of hand in US in past couple of years.
despicable
[QUOTE=Fort83;51212474][B]First there was armed men standing outside a Democtatic campaign office[/B] to intimidate and now this? People are so fucked in the head.[/QUOTE] You mean when /pol/ sat infront of a federal reserve building armed to the teeth and just silently protested or did something new come up?
Hint: If you are holding a Molotov cocktail and the year is not 1940, you are probably a piece of shit.
Just watch as this shit escalates on both sides.

I'VE FUCKING BEEN IN THERE What the hell are people doing?!?
Fucking wonderful, why are people so stupid, god damn How do you think firebombing your opponents is a valid tactic at all? Why are they so blind they cant even see that this shit just makes things worse? I'm honestly terrified about what's going to happen when the election results come out.

jesus christ, there is no way that this election is going to end in anything short of a complete and total clusterfuck unless a goddamn miracle happens and someone other than trump or clinton manages to get elected but from what i'm able to understand of your (way too fucking complicated) election system, i guess that's pretty much impossible..?

You're either with them, or you're not. This allows people to dehumanize others and end up doing shit like this.
Makes me really scared in regards to this happening to innocent minorities [editline]16th October 2016[/editline] This will be very bad for everyone. I need to leave this shithole of a country
[QUOTE=Zonesylvania;51212507]I'm honestly terrified about what's going to happen when the election results come out.[/QUOTE] While the increasing bipartisanship is very worrying, so far it's just been talk and a firebombing. Both suggest instability, but it's not the first time that party offices have been firebombed, and it's hardly rare for Molotov cocktails to be hurled at policemen (look at France, Greece, etc.). It's an incredibly terrible thing to do, but it doesn't necessarily mean that the US will erupt into revolt or widespread domestic terrorism any time soon. Hope that everyone stays safe, either way.
From what i've seen thus far, this seems like a provocation to get violent/racist trump supporters riled up enough to do the same thing back to whoever is doing this in the first place. if they do, trump will lose whatever smidgen of hope he had for the election in the first place, and give a reason to crack down on right-wing extremists.

This election has had bipartisanship occur on a previously unheard-of scale in recent political memory, especially considering how extreme it's gotten on either side, though only the Republican candidate can be accused of incitement to violence regardless. But as seen by this incident, the fringe elements of the democrats are also to blame by stooping to these actions. Personally I believe things could only get worse from here unless perpetrators are caught or otherwise prevented from repeating such stupidities. It's still a very very irresponsible thing to do, not to mention criminal, with the bipartisanship the way it is at present. Literally anything could lead to a powder keg going up if a worst case scenario occurs.

You are insinuating that this was done with the intention to incite violence between Americans rather than "fuck the GOP". That is conspiracy tier

My Trump campaign contact said that everyone is fine. I'm guessing the office was empty for Sunday, so that's some good news at least.
