i might be biased

because i do not like the lakers, but what is up with their fans? i use the term 'fan' loosely because i feel most of the people who attend games at the staples center go to be seen rather than to see a game, but i digress. must you riot after every win? this is from last night. how appropriate that he's pushing a wal-mart cart.

as sure as the glory parade that will happen on monday or the appearance of kobe's rat face during the games, is the riot that takes place after a playoff championship. why? celebrate? yes. set cars on fire and ruin public property? no. read about 2009's revelry here, including how fans looted items from local stores. last night's fun included setting a taxi on fire and a mob attempting to pull a city bus driver out of the bus and attack him. the UK telegraph has intense photographs of the damage done last night. with california's government bankrupt, i'm thankful the citizens of LA keep our tax dollars in mind when choosing their method of celebration. grrr, lakers.
