#Guardian Angels gear up to patrol NYC in wake of election

The Guardian Angels are gearing up for possible rioting and unrest in the wake of Tuesday’s election.

“Fear is growing among New York City residents and business owners that the contentious elections may lead to vandalism, looting, and rioting, as was seen in the City in mid-June,” the neighborhood-watch group said in a press release Saturday.

“The Guardian Angels will be protecting the city against rioters, violent protestors, and militias, who may be planning on capitalizing on protests on Election Night.”

Businesses were also battening down the hatches Friday in Manhattan, putting boards on their windows and moving sidewalk planters and signs inside.
