last time I saw this sort of thing was right before the LA riots

[Nordic]

I'm not kiddiing. People spontaneously taking to street corners with homemade signs. That was in in the morning. By the evening, LA was on fire.

This country is ready to blow up.

on edit, here's the link to the Yahoo picture:

1. Is that Pickles?

Looking a bit constipated...

2. With a little hair trim, that woman would make a good Pickles look-alike

Hey, what an idea!

3. I've been seeing them, too.

People with signs on freeway ramps and bridges. The other day I saw several people standing in the pouring rain with signs -- none of them for Bush.

4. Freeway blogging spreads!

(BTW, the woman's somewhere in Minnesota)

5. When nicely dresses ladies get out there you know it's bad...........

We did it last night and it was fun. Many supporters and the evil ones mostly women we had fun with. Acting like we didn't here. One yelled her head off and we just waved and acted like she was a supporter. LOL

6. You know, you bring up a serious question

I wonder just how ugly things could get after November 2. With everybody so heated, with so much at stake... and with the possibility of election fraud and voters being intimidated...

Could we see riots on November 3?

9. well, that was my whole point. I was really serious

The LA riots were something I really don't want to live through again.

10. If we have another Florida type vote rip off deciding this election

it would be ugly..very very ugly

Some thing in between civil war and marshal law

12. If that Dink gets re-selected...

I hope the hell the people of this country will do something about it.
I was living in Paramount (just south of LA) during the riots, and I just never understood why the people looted the local neighborhood businesses. Why didn't they go for the "establishment" ? WTF-- I mean, why burn your own house down unless it's just so messy that you can't clean it any other way? (contemplating this one for my house, but my furnace doesn't work...)
I remember also a lot of people just looting places to take advantage of the chaos, too. And they were pretty blatant about it, and I feel that a lot of those people just attached themselves to the whole event, just like all those flag wavers,etc, did to the Sept 11th horror show. Just attached themselves to some major occurrence so they could either excuse themselves or manipulate the event to suit whatever their agenda was.
It's kind of like the "where were you when Kennedy got assassinated" deal. I have lost my faith in the intelligence of the general populace, but at least we have DU.........

7. sweet picture!

That lady looks like a mainstream American - the kind that could be a Bushie - and here she is out on the street with her homemade anit-Bush sign. You're right - something is happening - but I don't know what it is yet.

8. Holy toledo, is that Laura?

13. I thought the same thing!! n/t

11. This worries me. Makes it even more important to GOTV and make sure

Kerry has a huge win that can not be contested. I fear we could be in for a long nightmare otherwise.
