What a bunch of fucking knuckle-dragging neanderthals.

Isn't that DaRizzle in picture number 5?

Morons!

I love the picture when the Laker fans are assaulting a car driven and occupied by ... MORE LAKER FANS. I hope those poor girls got out of there, because those dudes had "gang rape" written all over their faces.

I didn't see K*be in any of those pictures?

They all aspire to be just like him. Since they don't have any of his basketball talent or even 0.00000000000001% of his money, the closest they can come to being like K*be is rape.

Way to go LA. That would never happen in Portland. There are less black people and mexicans here.

[Updated at 8:55 a.m.: Police say they have arrested two residents of a downtown L.A. loft for receiving stolen property after the couple picked up some athletic shoes that had been stolen from a looted shoe store. That would bring the total number of arrests in Sunday night's post-Lakers-victory melee to 23. Investigators also said they will be reviewing video to identify other people involved in the violence.]

Eight Los Angeles police offers suffered minor injuries and 21 people were arrested during Lakers victory celebrations that turned riotous outside the Staples Center, authorities said today.

Following the Lakers’ 99-86 win over the Orlando Magic on Sunday night, officers faced small groups of revelers in downtown Los Angeles who shook passing cars, threw debris and sparked fires.

Twelve government vehicles, including six MTA buses, were damaged, and one traffic light was knocked down, said LAPD Officer Norma Eisenman. Metro Blue Line trains were delayed because of debris on the tracks, and a gas station, a pharmacy and a shoe store were looted, she said.

Shoe store owner Richard Torres arrived at his business Sunday night just after the alarm company called to tell him there was a break-in. What he discovered was disheartening: His vintage-style stock of sneakers had been ravaged and shoe boxes were strewn along the sidewalk.

“I have the video camera, and it’s a flood of people running into the store and grabbing what they could,” he said today as he stood among the remnants of his inventory. “What’s really awful is they took the stuff and they started burning it. It’s just disappointing.”

The LAPD did not have an estimate of the damage that included graffiti, broken windows, torched billboards and news boxes, a police official said. Six of the injured officers were taken to a hospital for treatment and released.

[RickyRubio]

And don't even say I am being racist... because what do you see in EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE PICS? Mexicans and black people. Where are the ONLY white people you see there? The cop and the fireman.

Wow.. just wow. What a stupid, uninformed, idiotic comment. Congratulations.

PLEASE don't take this thread there. We can bash on Laker fans w/o being racist. There are plenty of stupid people in this world, and they come in all different colors, shapes, sizes and genders.

[RR7]

First of all, yeah, very stupid comment. But also, I don't see any blacks in the pictures, so why did you include them in your stupid remarks?

 

[illmatic99]

I don't get it. Terrorizing and destroying the city = celebrating?

Lol, you're nuts man

 

[alex42083]

The photo that sticks out to me is the fat ass Laker fan ramming a guard rail into a bus sign or whatever it is. Makes absolutely no sense to me.

 

[OddEnormous]

Oh snap!

 

[RickyRubio]

Wow.. just wow. What a stupid, uninformed, idiotic comment. Congratulations.

Um, look at the pictures. What do you see? Just tell me what you see.

What race of people are pushing over the cars and rioting? Just answer me that please.

I knew I would catch flack for saying this, because people are too afraid to speak the truth and would rather hug a tree and be peaceful. But just tell me what you see in those pictures.

I agree with you 100% and I will not say anything else on the race topic. But I call a duck a duck. And all I see in those pics are mexicans and blacks.

That is all I will say. I will respect your wishes.

WTH are you talking about! The guys throwing that garbage can are white as though that matters. What kind of ignorant racism is that. Folks from LA PLEASE don't take this guy to be representative of P-town. My god!

While insensitive, and boardering on racist, he's probably not far off.

Portland is an extremely white city, and it has no real college to speak of to bring "outsiders" to the city.

I read a while back, and I mean like 5 years ago, that most people arrested for their participation in sports riots were either black or hispanic. In fact it was an outside the lines. That's where I saw this. They even mentioned that in places like Portland, Utah and Seattle the riots wouldn't be near what they are in other cities because of the demagraphics.

I will also say that while Portland woul dmore than likely have some sort of trouble following a title, it wouldn't be on that scale because of the people themselves. I'm not sure if anyone has had the "pleasure" of living in both Portland and somewhere else, but the difference in all races is amazing.

Sorry, I shouldn't have commented because I don't wan't the thread hijacked.

I see people in those pictures.

Your comment about less black people and mexicans in Portland so there wouldnt be this stuff here was stupid and uninformed. youre catching flack for a stupid ass remark.

How is that uninformed? It does not take rocket science to know that there are indeed more blacks and mexicans per capita in LA then there are in Portland. I don't even have to look that up to know.

I agree white people don't riot after basketball games. they just steal money from tax payers and murder thousands of civilians in wars usually after creating some sort of genocide...

WHITE PEOPLE RULE!!!!!!

Um, that guy on the left, his leg is as brown as shit. He is a mexican. And the other guy, I cannot tell and nor can you. So you cannot assume he is white.

I understand your comment, but that can open up a whole new can of worms on police targeting other people etc.. which I dont feel that way either.

So tell me this. In the last 20 years. How many riots have there been in Portland over anything, sport related or not. And how many in LA?

And you still have not answered me on what you see in those pics. You are avoiding the question because you know I am right.
