LAPD & LASD Prepared for Lakers to Win, to Stop Happy Riots

lapdriotlakers.png Last night's win already caused people to run amok in East LA. And even though Sunday night's game is in Orlando, should the Lakers win the Championship, the LAPD and LA County Sheriff's say they are prepared, citing the win 2000 when 11 people were arrested and close to a million dollars in damage was caused on downtown streets. Yeah, police cars were torched.

There's no such a thing as 'happy riot' just plain destruction.

How come I'm not surprised. Stupid people do stupid things.

I remember that riot in 2000. The home team wins so they go crazy and tear shit up, and cause the Staples Center to decide to never again show the games for free on the big screen outside the venue.

I guess I'll never understand sports fans.
