I don't think there was a person on this board that didn't expect there to be protests if Hillary had won.
In fact, there was a movement to riot and cause mayhem by a significant portion of his followers had things gone the other way. Not sure how many would have followed through, but either way.
People are just expressing their frustration and anger. Let 'em at it, they'll get it over with soon.
I didn't, not like this anyway. I would have predicted another run on ammo though.
There were no protests of this nature when Obama won. Keep in mind, that during the primary season it was organized Democrats that disrupted GOP speeches and rallies. I don't recall this type of activity from the GOP supporters.
I don't have a problem with peaceful assembly or marches through town. I do have a problem when peaceful demonstrations turn destructive or violent (understanding that this is not the express purpose of what we initially witness).
