Nah, conservatives don't get that excited. It's the liberals who lose
control over sports results or trial outcomes.

You ever heard of a conservative "riot"?

Has a conservative mob ever thrown Molotov cocktails at police or
looted stores? Especially over such trivial matters as a hurricane?

Consider the reaction to the anti-immigration law in Arizona. The law
doesn't even take effect until the end of the month but already the
liberal folks are getting so excited they're stabbing each other!

A few seconds on Google yields a fairly recent example:

I didn't see anything about windows being smashed, burning cars or
buildings. There was also no mention of serious injuries. I do believe
it was more of an unruly protest than a riot.
