While the riot gear they ordered is in very small quantities (141-157 units ea. https://www.fbo.gov/?s=opportunity&m...=core&_cview=0), when you put it all together what do you have?
This is the same crappola the Dems were putting out about Bush prior to the 08 election. That Bush would enact marshal law and find some way to ensure that the election didn't happen so he could remain in power.

Last time I checked, we had a peaceful transition of power. Maybe someone out there is just guilty of wishful thinking and by putting crap like this out there are hoping for a self fulfilling prophecy.
