What will happen in this country if our new President is assassinated?

Will we be fearful or come together?

Assassination is certainly not foreign to this country! We've had more than our share of good people being killed for their beliefs or because of their ethnic backgrounds. What would happen this time, if our newly elected President falls at the hand of a Caucasian? An African-American? A terrorist?

I'm not wholly certain of which will occur...perhaps both. We've come so far through the years that I am proud of my nation for electing this wonderful man President. I've also been through some racial rioting through the years and it's not pretty...it's extraordinarily frightening to witness and be involved in. I think there will be break-outs of racial chaos but in certain pockets of the nation and not across the board. I think that is the best we can hope for.

I also feel that there will be racial riots if Obama was assassinated due to his skin color. But I hope that it will never, ever come to that. May he live a long and happy life and lead our country to great things over the next 4-8 years!

The thing that people dont understand is that if he is killled it would be the worst thing for this country. I mean I voted for McCain but I dont want anyone to get killed. Everyone makees comparisons to Linclion and JFK but we all know that that is not the same because of the race issue. Just think when Rodney Kings case was proven innocent everyone lost it and played the race card even when as citizens we grant the officers the power to make the disgresion as to what is nessacary force. We also forgot about the 90 minnute chase and that he was hopped up on all kinds of drugs. Thats not the point though. The point is that if one person in the senate stepped out of line and said something racial that got onto TV there would be all kinds of riots. I just hope nothing happens that causes riots.........For now i will keep my gun under my bed just in case....

You don't think people understand that fact? People who are making comparisons to Lincoln and JFK are referring to the kind of President they believe he will be or do you seriously think he cannot be as good as they were because of his race??? That has to be one of the most bigoted statements I've heard since the election. You're not only bigoted but you're not very well informed.

And what does Rodney King have to do with this? We don't grant the police those liberties or anything of the sort. These people go to school in order to become a police officer. Their own departments set forth the rules and regulations within the law and advise them of these things, not us! How old were you when Rodney King was beaten to within an inch of his life? Not very, I should think. I would have another look of the Rodney King beating. How many people were beating that man? One against how many? Many just standing around watching instead of stopping these crazed officers, Sgt. Koon and Officer Powell being the worst of all. It was not a 90 minute chase...they chased a drunk for 8 miles!

I have a feeling you're underage. If you're hiding your gun under your bed, I can only wonder where it came from.

My point about the comparisons to Linclon and JFK was the fact that people were looking at how no riots broke out after they were killed. It has nothing to do with him not being a good president. IT IS HIS RACE THAT WILL GET HIM KILLED. We all know that a black man is not going to kill him. It will be a white man if it happens. Not just any white man a racially craized white man. You dont think that people will lose it and start riots? My point was that Rodney Kings beaters were set free it started a racial war imagine what will happen if our first black president is killed. But say Rodney king had killed an innocent kid walking across the street. A white child. Do you think that people would have turned their head to the beating. YES. It would have been racial equallibrium because he killed someone. Again this doesnt have anything to do with what we are talking about.Also, My gun is a Bolt action Remmington .306. It came from a local gun store and i use it for hunting and protection just incase. I live in the city. The Heart of the racial wars. I dont want to see him killed but if it happens their will be racial holy wars.

yes i feel there will be chaos. all the way around. there has been chaos over all of the past presidents whos lives have been cut short at the hand of someone else. however IF he does why does it have to be about race at all? he is promising change people are scared of change. i did not vote this year i did not feel either of them ready of fit for the title. but hey thats just me. i was not very educated or up to date with either of them but what i did hear i did not like. now thats out of the way i can move on to the subject. i think that if a "white man" does it the first thing shouted from the roof tops with be raciest. i think if a "black man" does it, it will be said that he grew up in suburbia and doesnt know about the ghettos or hood or whatever you want to call it. either of these will start mass fights that our country had not seen in quite a while. i feel it will be a he said she said... however if a terrorist does it we will all be mad. it burns my buttons when people complain about who is in office. we voted them in. if you did not vote do not complain!!! and whatever your choice was at least it was your to make. but seriously a large percentage of this country can not even handle the pressure of going to work every day, and maintaining a family. these wonderful brave men no matter their flaws deserve your respect! not every one will be happy at one time. all we can hope is that we stay free, have food in our bellies, and a roof over our head. i know people are having a hard time with these subjects right now so if you feel the urge to complain about our country go do something to help instead of sitting at this computer using up more electricity and do nothing more than complain how everything is so expensive. Is it just me or has the electric bill gone up too?

It will just be an LOL moment since he knew that it would probably happen. Hell, he put his entire family in danger... but as long as he has power... Lulz.

But i'm sick like that. I never really feel sad for someone who has just died (unless it's a soldier or a child rape victim... shit like that). Hell, a girl was shot yesterday in my school, and i joked around about it.

Really, why should I care? Yeah, the blacks will probably get pissed and riot, but when has that NOT happened? Fuck, people were getting ready for a riot if Obama lost... it isn't that much of a surprise.

and the white guy who does it will probably be the biggest moron of all time. Obama has two ways of running this country. Fucking it up, or Saving it, and if some white guys assassinates him, it will automatically make him a martyr, and will of course make the next guy who gets elected a Democrat since he'll just run on the platform of "we shall remember what Obama fought for before he died". Just how LBJ won his second term.

and while all this happens, i'll just say "LOL".

Why would you feel sad for the soldier and not for the Commander in Chief of all the troops. Why would you feel sad for a little girl who had been raped and have no compassion for two little girls who have suddenly lost their beloved father to an assassins bullet?

How on earth would you know if people were getting ready to riot if he lost? Do you know these people or is this just another thing that "stands to reason."

mainly because i have limited empathy. those girls, they lose their father... he didn't doubt that happening, so it's just sort of funny.

The commander in chief doesn't mean shit to me when it comes to the military. yeah, they start the war, but all i really care about is the guys who agree to fight this war, and their stories. it's emotional for me... like the book "Lone Survivor".

and they've rioted over 9000 times, why would they all of a sudden decide "fuck it, i don't care anymore".

Why do you say this stuff about people having no heart. They do have a heart they just dont choose to show it in a way that pleases you. IDK how people can sit there and have jesus fish on their cars right next to an obama sticker. The man doesnt have a christian bone in his body...Im sorry he just doesnt.

What in God's name are you talking about? Obama didn't barely win due to racial chaos!!! He won both the popular vote and the electoral vote and he certainly won both handily!

Yes, there are times when there are very interesting and important speeches held in chambers. C-Span used to carry the entire days comings and goings, voting and speeches every day. I have satellite now and haven't found the channel as yet.

Side: Racial Chaos

Meaningless speeches will most certainly occur if we have an assassination of this caliber. I say they will most likely be meaningless based on the past. None of the speeches I've ever heard through the years of racial turmoil and strife never did a darned thing to alleviate the situation. Is it a matter of what can one say at such a time or do they truly not care about the person or the country? The main question I will have is why? Why did we not double or triple the guard on President Obama knowing our history?

Side: Meaningless Speeches

Kennedy got shot and the sun rose the next day. Same thing will happen if Obama gets taken out. The sun will rise again the next day. No big.

It's funny how the sun does that! It's also funny how some people have no heart, spirit or sense to know that something terrible has just happened and that it will impact millions around the world. To you it's just another day in paradise. How sad you really are.

I know my words seem cold but I call it as I see it and I have seen this pattern before. The world clamors for a Christ figure and when they get him, they try to crucify him. Obama may or may not know this but he signed up for martyrdom. Having said that, however, I believe he will prevail for the full term of his precidency.
