place to blow-off steam.

I saw that Ted. I really did think their could be violence after the election either way the outcome.

I'm OK with blowing off steam. 

I'm not OK with violence and/or making things miserable for others in the process.

These are not protests.  They are riots.  They are threatening physical harm and even possibily death, if necessary.  They are shutting down streets like they did in Baltimore and Ferguson.  

These are riots and riots are not constitutionally protected.  They need to be shut down.

No, Trump supporters would not have reacted with violence had Trump lost.   They never started any riots after any of his other losses during the primaries.  In fact, conservative protests have always been non-violent and peaceful.  The TEA party protestors even cleaned up after themselves after protesting on the Washington DC Mall.   But just after that was the Occupy Wall Street protests and the weirdos were defecating on cars, breaking windows of businesses, peeing in the street  and left a huge mess of trash on the streets to be cleaned up.

It's always the liberals who seem to create havoc.

I guess when you live in an entitlement culture where everyone gets a trophy, you don't know how to lose.

Just stupid on their part. It only makes them and their causes look bad.

If this were only stupid, one could ignore it.  But when there is vandalism, flag-burning, rioting (including race-riots), and rabble-rousing, it is something else.  These are communistic revolutionary tactics being funded by Soros (and possibly others). Kelly Anne Conway is asking why Obama is not condemning this, and that is a very good question.  

Any responsible President would already have addressed this properly on nationwide TV and asked the rioters to cease and desist or be subject to prosecution.  This is all utter nonsense, which was preplanned in the event of a Trump victory. Furthermore, Hillary also has a responsibility to address this publicly since these are her supporters.

Apparently MoveOn.org organized this, or had a big role in it taking place.

Read and watch video of the riots here.

These are not "protests"; this is a mass-riot from crybullies and whiners who did not get their way. As for the violence: aggression and physical harm/ damage are never an appropriate reaction to not getting one's way. Protesting does not require violence or obstructing unduly the necessities of normal, civil life.

What is actually going on here is that these individuals have largely come of age during Obama's 8-year reign in the White House. That time period included an emphasis on political correctness, handouts, the promotion of "safe-zones" and the elimination of critical thinking, an overall removal of having to give an account of one's activities and accepting any personal responsibility for inappropriate behavior, and an overall dismantling of the Social Contract. These people are freaking out because all of that is about to come to a screeching halt, and for them, it is the ultimate nightmare.

When one has been raised in an atmosphere of everything simply being given out on a platter and having every whim catered to, the responsibilities entailed int the Social Contract are a dire threat. Having to work for a living rather than living on the largess of a "nanny state" puts the onus of an income on the person who needs it to live: they have to earn it. Having to work one's way up the ladder rather than simply getting in because you are "entertaining" or "fun to be with" is also another issue for this generation: many simply are not used to working for a living. Having to answer for personal actions and simply being told "no" also is devastating for them: not having something simply because they want it blows their minds and can short-circuit them entirely.

With that said: it is essentially a mass-emotional breakdown as many realize the kind of trouble they are in. Add into this that many of the unskilled jobs that would open up without illegal immigrants tying them up (and H1-B visas from India and other nations taking up room in the tech avenues), and suddenly, "the free ride" that allowed many to get by with little more than shuffling to the nearest social services office and whining just ran out of gas.

Figuring all of that in, they are turning to their last option: "Give us our freebies or else".

I can't prove it but I would think that one of George Soros's companies are behind those that are setting up the riots.    it's been that way in others for many years now.

How did that work in Baltimore?
