Edit: Some people pointed out that “mass looting” is more or less propaganda. I edited the title to be accurate.
Newsweek isn’t accurate, in general. I thought it was newsworthy that there was a riot after the game, but maybe I should not be feeding into a right-wing mythology about “lawless left-wing cities,” which this story pretty definitely is doing.
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.
