My Way News - Chief blames `knuckleheads' for Lakers disturbance
AP reports: "Street celebrations that began peacefully turned ugly. Fires were set, objects were thrown at police officers, several businesses were looted and buses, police cars and other vehicles were vandalized. Hooligans hurled rocks through the window of one bus abandoned under an overpass."

Comment: I don't understand this phenomenon of rioting after sporting events. It doesn't seem to depend on whether the team wins or loses, nor does it depend on what city the game is in. It seems to reflect a fundamental decay in the character of citizens, get a couple thousand of them together and some of them will be vandals out to trash their own city. It didn't used to be that way, and I'm not sure how it can be stopped, but it's definitely a sign of the times.
