"Yeah this is what i would expect from some Laker fans. These punks have no reguard for anyones property. As a black man myself i try and tell the black youth that thier actions keep the sterotype alive and well. I guess we will have to keep the black eye "pardon the pun" a little longer."
One of the unfortunate side effects of such behavior is that it perpetuates a stereotype and hurts the law-abiding blacks who wouldn't dream of doing such a thing.
Another unfortunate side effect is that this will eventually kill off small businesses (providing much-needed goods and services with a paper-thin profit margin and high overhead costs) in the neighborhood.
Some people in the projects/ghetto neighborhoods here in Oakland wonder why they have to travel miles to get to a decent grocery store.
Are you kidding me? Have you been to downtown past Pico Blvd, especially at night?

I’m white and still alive. What do you think?
Did the New Orleans Looter Guy go to LA for the Lakers celebration?
Thug ball at it’s finest....
I think requiring some sort of ‘riot insurance’ isn’t unreasonable.

Without it, one could easily foresee cities declining consent applications for professional sports franchises on the basis of likely civil unrest and riot damage. In short, treating the teams as potential criminal nuisances. On that basis it might be difficult to get approvals for stadiums to be built.
As you suggest, riot insurance would be a good option. If I were a city councilor I’d vote in favor of requiring it.
Scum slime..not only did they steal some had to damage and trash the store too. WHoever gets caught should get their own possessions confiscated to help pay the damages. All moron losers of the nth degree.
Oh I see. Only certain excuses for rioting are accpetable.
So sororoy.
In fairness, a certain segment of the black community has done so. The shame is that the decent and law abiding members of the community (other thyan Cosby, Williams, Sowell, etc.) are generally silent about it.
I guess being called Tom is too hurtful.
Post anything like that again and you are out of here.
