Fuck a parade!

I think the Lakers, Anschultz Entertainment Group, and who ever else, should donate that money to cover the losses to all the businesses that got looted and/or vandalized last Sunday night.

seriously, it took a day to get a million. im sure the donors (especiall broad) give plenty but just makes you wonder...
