I'm getting fucking vapors just thinking about it.

....but seeing a bunch of pasty white guys rioting would be a LOLfest.

The ones who came dressed for a riot are the ones likeliest to start one.

And with the forecast, I don't think there will be a huge presence of protesters.

These are the party loyalist. They've been sanitized of such actions before they were permitted to attend.
The only chance of a riot would be if all the sex workers decided to go on strike. Then there might be trouble!

(3,687 posts)10. Maybe.... Or maybe try 1919-style (also Chicago).
Analogies aren't actually analogies unless they're analogous.
But fear on!
