New York’s ultra-rich are quietly preparing for civil unrest on Election Day — by hiring armed guards to stand watch over their luxury Manhattan buildings.
At the Time Warner Center on Columbus Circle, where the penthouse is going for $62.5 million, managers are deploying off-duty cops with “submachine guns” to stand watch, while other wealthy city enclaves are also beefing up protection for residents.
“Everybody is worried about security,” an insider told the Post. “Every top building is adding security. It’s out of control. We hope it won’t be needed, but we will be ready.”

But the one's who protest violently, aren't the republicans. And if Trump wins, his folks will be celebrating, not burning and looting.
So the one's who are in danger here are the rabid left. The stupid ones.

New York is pretty much a leftist bastion and even the ultra rich lean left for the most part. Home of the "limousine liberal."
There has been some rioting and looting in Manhattan this year but guess what: a lot of it was perpetrated by privileged white Manhattanites smashing the big glass window at Tiffanies because they read Herbert Marcuse freshman year at Ivy U. They will stand the #### down in the face of a phalanx of armed guards, and tiptoe off to sulk in a Greenwich Village bar. Which is precisely the point. All a charade, a show of force from mommy and daddy.
The places to worry about will be less wealthy than Manhattan.

I've got my musket and powder ready. Hopefully they give me enough time to get a few reloads in.

If the standoff is with Joe Biden then you should be fine going up against his originally purchased Chinese fire lance.

LOL, no doubt. that olumpy12 guy has been chomping at the bit to kill him some pubs. I sure hope he isn't too particular about their ideologies.

I have my wife as backup, she took Joe's advice and got a shotgun.
She has to prop herself against a wall to use it but, hey, as long as I'm off to her side or behind her I'm cool with that.

You are doing it wrong and could damage the wall.
What she has to do is point the shotgun in the opposite direction from the perpetrator that way when she fires it she becomes the projectile and takes out the target . If you wrap her shoes with a mop she can also keep the area clean as she goes flying by.
