Violence erupts [again] in irrational U.S. election protests

First, we go to Philadelphia, the city that was supposed to turn out its massive, liberal-aligned, inner-city population to deliver an otherwise red state to the Democrats.

Due to extensive criminal and dangerous behavior, protest is now considered a riot. Crowd has been advised.

In Minneapolis, democrats are standing in the middle of an interstate which symbolizes … um… well .. nope, can’t come up with a single thing – but it’s symbolic somehow.

The Dallas “protest” seems to have a bit less energy than the others:

In a truly epic fail, Vancouver protesters came out to join the other Hillary defeat parades – someone should remind them that British Columbia… yeah, not in the United States.

President-elect Donald Trump tweeted that professional protesters were being egged on by the media:
Just had a very open and successful presidential election. Now professional protesters, incited by the media, are protesting. Very unfair!

Someone has to tell them that there is no way for Hillary to win – mainly because Trump has a lot more than the 270 electoral votes needed to win, but also because Hillary conceded the race.
