rkwright Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 So for about the past 3 hours I've heard lots of yelling, car horns blaring, chants of Obama, ect. That was all fine and cool, I'd never really been in a city that reacted like this to anything; other than being in Germany during the world cup... It was all fine for a while, but about 10 minutes ago about 150-200 people (95% black) came marching through my apartment complex. I live in a gated complex, near downtown Houston in not such a great area. I'm not sure how they got through the gates but whatever... they're in! And they're banging on cars, on apartment doors, yelling we're taking the country back... Seriously? Is this for real? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call the police get the authority;s involved let them know that YOU mean business and you will not tolerate this nonsense EDIT:I am not against celebrating-i am against when it turns into a Hitler rally!

Ash Wednesday Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 That is really strange. The loopiness will subside though. Just a lot of emotions running high right now. I'm kind of glad I'm in England. There ARE no emotions here. Outside of soccer matches, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Therese Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Yeah but that's because they already went nuts politically over there. I mean, you can go to jail over there for not sorting your trash correctly. How bizarre is that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one should be fearful now, Obama's gonna make your car payment and your mortgage payment....so sleep sweet tonight. Everything will be birds tweeting and flowers in the morning. ....Remember if we help him he'll help us! seriously,.....don't be fearful of this and what is happening. We prayed for this election heavily. It is in Gods hands,....just educate yourselves (purchase a gun,buy a safe,get extra water.....) God does work for the good for those who love him. We do love Him and we place our trust in him,right? He knows our hearts! He knows what its going to take to turn this around. So Just trust......... Hey and at least your not in one of the most liberal states! Edited November 5, 2008 by jckinsman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
