Mass looting breaks out in Los Angeles after Dodgers win World Series
www.newsweek.com
The LAPD said they had received reports of "looting at several stores in the area of 8th and Broadway" and urged people to stay away from the area.

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.

      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.
