Maybe LA Just likes to riot...

Following the Laker's victory in the NBA Finals last night, Los Angelinos celebrated the best way they knew how... with wanton property damage.

You know, for how much people make the 1992 riots to be this giant powder keg that was just waiting to explode, the more I see things like this, the more I think Los Angeles is just a city that's constantly on edge about EVERYTHING. Seriously, you celebrate your city's victory... by destroying your city?! Even barbarians knew it was better to trash someone else's village before going back to their own.

Yeah, I never understood the riot mentality. Personally, I don't think there is ever a good reason to perform a violent, desructive riot, whether it's for sports or for political happenings. Riots end up damaging property of people who aren't even involved in what the riot is about and people just get hurt and makes the rioters look like jackasses.
