Lakers Win; Let's Riot
My fellow Angelenos are having paroxysms of joy. This is a "classic" L.A. moment:
Some people kicked a Honda car parked on Figueroa Street, shattering its windows. But others tried to protect the car. One in that group said: "You ain’t from L.A. This is L.A. No burning."
Here in Hollywood, the police have preemptively blocked streets. Folks are wandering out to get their photos taken in front of the riot-geared police lines.
There have been about a dozen arrests so far. Folks are running onto the 110 freeway, apparently. Folks are jumping on cars. A couple Lakers fans are attacking other Lakers fans. As the TV lady says, "This is a sweet victory." The TV guy jumps in, "but this doesn't just happen in Los Angeles, uh, they do this in Detroit too."
LAPD already declared it an "unlawful gathering" after some downtown condos got smashed up, but they're probably gonna have to beat the shit out of somebody before anyone takes them seriously.
