This is happening in nyc and likely in other markets...networks and stations are boarding up their ground and second floor windows and doors like a hurricane is coming, they have gated off areas that were previously open for the public to walk, i know of a lot of industry tech crew folk that are working on election not because of their excellence in execution and not because they chose to be at a media outlet that is left or right leaning in how they convey narratives...i pray for the safety that everyone gets to return home without incident Wednesday morning
The Real Sad Truth

Interesting. The left is gearing up for battle, must mean Trump will win. They won't accept the results of the election yet again.
There would be no reason to board up if Biden is going to win. There will be no rioting or unrest if Biden wins, as that is the preferred outcome by the city dwellers and media elites.

Abc news/gma location has had a window pane smashed in twice in the last 5 days.
If you think radical republicans and gang miliitias are not going to be seen or heard or covered in the media this coming week regardless of outcomes you are mistaken
Things are likely to get out of hand no matter who wins. That is why they are preparing.
Exactly....Quite frankly this is going to be more like hurricane Sandy. First or second days after election are going to be somewhat amusing but if there is no clear winner by the fifth or sixth day, the nut cases on the fringe are going to start.
It will be the usual suspects. New York City, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, etc. Thankfully Most of the rest of America are responsible adults.
Don't bet on that. Small cities have been hit already, though I haven't heard of any on the East Coast. I hope all of you have the means to defend and protect yourselves, your family, and your possessions. And I certainly hope everything turns out well but it is clear that there are those on the left who want to overturn our form of government. And there are those on the right will put up a hell of a fight to prevent that.
yes, there’s a reason why gun and ammo sales spiked this summer. If police can’t protect you or are hamstrung, it’s obvious people are taking steps to protect themselves from these nuts.
Too many guns, advanced guns and ammo beyond self defense out there now, big major problem that no republican will ever aknowledge
There are way too many guns "on the street", as well as a number of different types of guns that no one outside of the military or trained law enforcement should have access to.
I have been surprised how many people I have talked to in the last year, both people who lean Republican & Democrat who have mentioned either they applied for a gun license or a family member has or was planning. Most are from NJ, in wide range of towns in NJ. A good amount were women as well. Reasons mentioned obviously were safety, but others worried about limits on guns or becoming harder in future to obtain license/gun.
By the way, I am not a gun owner or plan on getting one at this time.

If you’re talking about illegal guns being used by criminals; yes, too many guns on the street. If we did more policing to arrest and incarcerate, law abiding citizens wouldn’t be buying them at a record clip. There will never, ever be any real gun control legislation.
Breaking news the media will find a far right problem. No one sees that coming. In the meantime they’ll cover far left rioting and looting as peaceful protests, but they’ll find some kid throwing toilet paper on a tree as a hate crime.
Count me among them.
FWIW, with what we've seen in NYC, Philadelphia, Minneapolis, and Portland, among other places, I am astounded that anyone could be stupid or dishonest enough to posit that if Trump wins, there will be violence, when for months we've been subject to violence and lawlessness on a national scale that is clearly the 20- and 30- something white kids who would rather die than vote Republican.
I expect Biden to win, and expect a minimum of that type of behavior from those made unhappy by that fact. Luckily, I think we're going to avoid what would be real chaos would ensue if Trump were to win.
I know a number of media outlets are posting statistics about the violence being NOT the fault of those on the left, but these ubiquitous white supremacists whom we never see in NYC or Philadelphia, who seem to have endless budgets and vacation time to travel the country, goading the justified protesters to violence. It's simply not true, and I say this with some sadness, as I used to rely on the MSM for my news, and they have simply become apologists for the left, complete with fraud, shocking omissions, and social media manipulation of the electorate. Very sad.
Well I hope you are right on a couple points there. I would agree that a Trump win would result in more violence unfortunately... but I am not yet convinced a Biden win won't result in any.
I think a close election would be terrible, and Trump would be saying he was robbed and it could get ugly. I'm hoping for a decisive Biden win.

Well, it's going to be a squeaker, and Biden has a path to victory, at the moment. Trump will turn it into a SCOTUS circus. Fun times ahead. I have to say that if Biden had to win, I'm pleased that the Senate majority will remain. We will see how well Joemala works with the opposing party, and vice versa, for all this unifying talk.
i think its reasonable to think that boths sides could have unrest if the opposing candidate wins. clearly trump supporters have no problem yelling louder.
Don't think we should worry about people yelling. We should be concerned people boarded up their places. Whoever wins, America loses when businesses feel the need to do that.
Don't think so, and I think that that will be borne out today or tomorrow, when Biden is announced the winner. Trump will go kicking and screaming, but boarding up was for a Trump victory.
Nobody's worrying about people yelling. If and when Biden wins, Trump and his supporters will yell and complain loudly, but they'll move on without much incident.
Most republicans will move on after a Trump loss unlike the left in 16.
