  1. LIES!!!!
    They knew they were going to be protesters!
    STOP BEING THE VICTIM!!!!!!
    Berkeley closed down and a majority of New York businesses protected their windows by covering them with wood. For PETE SAKE even Wal-Mart stopped selling guns a week before this is happening. STOP SAYING FEARS OF WIDESPREAD PROTESTS WERE NOT REALIZED ON ELECTION NIGHT when we as a COUNTRY saw this coming.

    You claim to be USA TODAY but you don’t know what’s like being us today…

    1. I don’t think anyone is surprised that socialist communist democrats riot for any reason. The real question is, when will the rest of America demand they be arrested and locked up for terrorism!

  2. Yes protests a election that hasn’t been called. Could wait a couple days. But you already got your riot shoes on!

    1. @Legend Gotta Catch Em All you’re wrong what about how they blocked the whole damn bridge in NY so no one could vote

    2. @Ryan Harvey maybe if you actually did more than watch CNN. Maybe if you fact check everything the news media vomits out into the living rooms of our homes. Well maybe somewhere in there you would find the actual definition of a fascist.

    3. Trash people 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽
      Biden team followers bunch of riot
      That approve of killing baby’s …………………….
      A man can go inside a girls restroom 🚽
      If he thinks he’s a girl
      Disgusting 🤮 liberals messing up America 🇺🇸
      Honestly

  3. No winner has been called yet and they’re already going. They don’t care who wins they just wanna burn stuff

    1. @Jed James kindly explain then as to how nothing like this happened in response to Mr Obama being elected twice. No violence. Period. Anywhere.

    2. Those people on the streets are not Democrats or anarchists they are socialists and communists that are paid to do this and instill fear in others but it’s not gonna work

    3. @Jed James election fraud has been around since way before any of us were born. Wasn’t taught that in high school but it I’d a matter of record. Supreme court has had to settle disputes before ( 150 years ago). If there has been any malfeasance this time hopefully it can be corrected. I’m not pointing fingers yet. Lots of noise and confusion clouding the truth.

    4. @Quickness Quantum no one is being paid to protest. Did you ever think that maybe there are things worth fighting against?

  4. SORRY…. YOU DON’T BOARD UP BUSINESSES AND SUCH OVER “PROTESTS”!!! THE WORD IS “RIOTS”, AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS SUCH!!!

    1. @Sekuro I mention no need or use of civil war. That was your own assumption and you failed to see how the world works. May you have a good night rest and may tomorrow be a blessed day for you and your loved ones.

    2. @Sekuro so I’m assuming that the stabbing of Bevelyn Beatty (a black woman) by BLM is considered protesting too?
      Interesting..🤔
      I’ll have to remember that should I ever run into you or your cohorts.

    1. The news talks about the point of topic. Do you expect the news to say something about corona during every news story of a gathering of any kind? Lol. They want to talk about coroni, then they’ll talk about coroni. But it’s still there.

    1. Just imagine the trauma if the wrong person win especially the kids because the very new born baby is watching this election they are very smart they know who they want to win

    1. @Sekuro He forgot about the trump supporters trying to kidnap the governor of Michigan, and failed miserably.

    2. @Stanley Kendall

      For every trump supporter crime you can mention to me , I can come up with 10 anti-trump crimes committed .

    3. @Sekuro arr you they didn’t refrain from showing any “negative ” footage? Just maybe? I wasn’t there. IDK. But were you there to see for yourself?

    4. @Jim Pemberton I guess I missed all the rioting, burning and looting during the mass George Floyd protests in Houston and during his funeral service. That’s especially strange considering that’s where I live.

      Do you WANT to see burning and looting or something? There’s no video of it. You WANT civil unrest? Because there currently is zero.

    1. @Rimane Griskeviciute i like that you edited your comment but still said the same inane thing. go back to the drawing board 🥴💕

    2. @baba yaga ganoush I like that you are asleep and not even aware that you sleeping 😆😆 I love drawing boards 😁😁

    3. @Rimane Griskeviciute it really says something about you that all you can do is parrot me. What do you do when you arent arguing??? Still parroting?

    4. @baba yaga ganoush arguing??? Parroting?? Not really… like asking questions, not just blindly believe all am told or shown! What do you like doing when not defending monsters? Or yeah right… sleeping 😂😂😂
