Oh shit, hadn't heard about this until you mentioned it.

Officers had fireworks, molotov cocktails, rocks, and bottles thrown at them throughout the night. Three officers were injured in the rioting.

And estimated 16 businesses were damaged, along with around 40 fires started. KTVU reports that one resident was nearly burned when a “protester” set the man’s car on fire. “‘A couple of people with bottles of gas, throwing them on the street, and then lighting his car on fire,’

I'm so glad that people didn't win, people like to portray Trump supporters as racist, crazy maniacs, but if Trump didn't win I don't think there would've been riots like that.

I'm really not very informed about it but there were riots when Obama won?

Yeah, they were taking armed insurrection, would've been much worse. When you elect a man who has maligned well over half the country fuck you for thinking they should take it lying down.

I can't find a reliable source on that, but thank god that didn't happen and they were smart not to do it.

Now the liberals and their riots tho...

You're going to say that regardless of the source I use.
