WTF?! You guys win and you tear the place apart? Really making us in Philly look like angels.
Seriously, please do not set busses on fire. A lot of them are running on batteries these days. That's some super toxic shit.
I wouldn't call a single group looting a single street corner and attempting to set one bus on fire, "tearing the place apart."
The street corner is certainly a place.
First thing I thought of was Philly. This is a whole other level of stupid. We’re not that bad.
The headline is blowing what actually happened way out of proportion. It's a similar level of stupid as Philly.
Yeah this was a minor victory riot. Nothing like the Lakers three-peat in the early 2000s
I mean, "stupid" and "bad" are different things. Philly's got lots of stupid, but they mean well.
Philly got some "means well" but mostly we have "having a good damn time" and "doesn't give a fuck". We're not malicious, but we're not sympathetic either.
Here in Seattle we had a polite riot after the superbowl. We were partying in the street until the light turned green, then shuffled back to the sidewalk. As soon as the light turned red again, we would flood back into the street.
I feel like Vancouver still wins
I have read no reports that anyone attempted to harm a Santa during the riots. Don't tar LA with the Philly label.
Right. Throwing snowballs at someone is the same as setting a bus on fire. Got it.
That's the dumbest thing to bring up. You could bring up setting a cop car on fire during the George Floyd protests, you could mention the car flipping and dumpster fire after the Eagles championship, shit - you could go with our police department bombing a residence, but you went with throwing snowballs as the label to keep off of LA.
Are you not at all aware of the history of riots in Los Angeles? You've done plenty of your own tarring over there, bub.
Oh, so Santa is just a someone to you, huh? St. Fucking Nicholas?
