Rioting for Redistribution

Last Wednesday I noted that police departments across the country were preparing for election night unrest, or riots.

The story regarding the possibility of riots, which you can access via the above link, speculates that riots may occur if Obama wins, riots of the type associated with a large city’s sport team winning a championship.  If Obama loses, though, the type of riots that may occur will be less celebratory.

Win or lose, I think that if riots do indeed materialize out of the results of what happens on November 4, those who may take to the streets in riotous frames of minds will be storming businesses, not simply to vandalize, but to initiate a redistrbution of wealth at the street level.
