British Left Handled Defeat Gracefully...Just Kidding They Had a Riot and Vandalized War Memorials


Following Thursday's unexpected massive Conservative victory in the United Kingdom's general election, with the Conservatives winning an outright majority for the first time since 1992, some citizens of the UK have been taking the news better than others. Today, riots and protests broke out outside of 10 Downing Street, the Prime Minister's residence, demanding that the Tories be thrown out of office. The protest was spread online with the hashtag #ToriesOut.
(Warning: There is strong language in some of the following tweets.)
...
The Women of WWII Memorial was also defaced with an obscenity about the Conservatives.
...
Curiously enough, some were quick to defend the act of vandalizing a monument for women who sacrificed everything to defend freedom and democracy in a political protest against a democratically-elected government. (Let that irony sink in for a moment.)
...
While election losses can be tough to swallow at times, having a riot and defacing war memorials is not an appropriate response.

Now add the words of American Democrat Rep. Hank Johnson.

Dem Rep. Hank Johnson Threatens GOP With Violence Over Budget Cuts: “The Have-Nots Will Rise Up Like The People In Baltimore”


When asked if he was talking about “violence,” the Democrat who thinks islands can “tip over and capsize” said, “Yes, I am.”
Via CNS News:

During an interview last week on WABE radio’s “A Closer Look” program Johnson said he voted against the GOP budget measure because of its domestic spending cuts and added that its passage could result in violence.
...
“So are you saying, when you say ‘rise up like Baltimore’, – let’s define that a little bit more,” Host Denis O’Hayer said. “In terms of the protests or in terms of the violence?”
“No, I’m saying in terms of the violence and it’s unfortunate,” Johnson replied.
O’Hayer followed up, “You’re saying budgets like this can lead to violence?”
“Yes, I am,” Johnson, said.

(Bold emphasis mine.)

Given the progressive's history of...

Occupy Wall Street riots and violence,
Wisconsin teacher's union riots and violence,
Ferguson's riots and violence,
Baltimore's riots and violence,
and the many more examples of progressive's riots and violence...

IF come 2016 America elects a GOP president...

will progressives accept their loss gracefully,

or will they riot, loot and burn in protest?
