Once again Lakers fans show their true class after the dramatic win over the Celtics. There was a mini riot after the game at LA Live across from Staples Center. Per the LA Times "Crowds hurl bottles, broke windows, jump on vehicles after Lakers' victory. One person is beaten". Several fires were started and a taxi was engulfed in flames. Dozens were arrested by police

Gosh, what would have happened if the Lakers had lost! I just don't get it. Fans celebrate a big victory by destroying property and being a public nuisance.

I think Mexico upsetting France earlier in the day may have played a small part in ratcheting up the "festivities".

i dunno. they did the same sh*t last year. it's just a bunch of opportunistic thugs looking for an excuse to trash public and private property.

Boston fans would have done the same thing, only they would have been more drunk, belligerant and annoying. Fans of teams in almost every city do the same thing, if not worse. Imagine what would happen if the Cubs ever won the World Series.

maybe i'm crazy, but crippling all of downtown (and east LA! and hollywood!), marching down the 10 freeway, setting cars on fire, and shutting down an entire light rail line seems extreme to me.

While there's nothing more insufferable than a bunch of drunken Masshole braggadocios, they tend to channel such newfound validation by beating the sh*t out of other people, not property. Boston '08 had its moments, but fell short of what happened in LA last night... and isn't even in the same stratosphere as LA '00. Suffice it to say, LA has the rioting thing pretty down pat.

Nah. Cubs fans aren't all that passionate, believe it or not. Most self-professed "diehard Cubbie fans" are yuppies who wear the jersey, drink their 4-5 Old Styles and do everything but watch the game. That said, its pretty easy to keep Wrigleyville under control- its very self contained (Fall '03 proved this)

It's a wonder somebody wasn't killed. These rioters weren't fans that attended the game, but hooligans coming in to the area set out to cause trouble. Dozens of cars had the windows smashed...they tried to turn over a taxi...rocks thrown at police in riot gear. If the police had shot one or two, maybe they'll start to get the message, but I doubt it.

As a result, Monday's victory parade will be it. No rally at the Coliseum like last year.

The Celtics never should have been there in the first place. The expected matchup was with Cleveland. I believe the Cavs would have beaten the Lakers in 6 games.

How do you figure? The Cavs were expected to roll through Orlando last year, and we know how that turned out. The supporting cast was/is terrible.
