In the aftermath of the World Series, in which the San Francisco Giants beat the Kansas City Royals, pure pandemonium ensued in San Francisco.

if it did, who would notice?”
Geron - that is a very tacky statement. I used to live in KC. Great place. Often wish I was back there, except when they have snow, ice and below freezing temps.
Throwing back a few more?
And this is why the streets of Buffalo are so safe. (/sarc)
I’m from New Orleans, not exactly known for its non-violence. When the Saints won the Super Bowl in 2010, the city broke out some of the most happiest people, criminals and non-criminals alike. Fireworks went off all over the city, but people from all neighborhoods were hugging each other and there was absolutely no crime in New Orleans that night. In fact, for the next several nights. This was a few years after Katrina, so we had a good portion of our population back by then.
hic!
Chronicle columnist Herb Caen used to call S.F. "Baghdad by the Bay." Considering the violent tangled mess the real Baghdad has become the name seems more appropriate now.
Perhaps they could teach those SF ppl the right way to celebrate.
Yeah, but we only get that during the winter... mostly.
Well, I wish the city of SF would act as if they’d never heard of the SF Giants.
So a bunch of grown men, who are not from San Francisco, who throw balls and hit them with sticks, won a completely pointless competition. Perfectly valid reason to burn your city down.
No, I saw the Dodgers win the series in 1959 when I was a mere lad, and I remember a parade, because my Dad took me to see it, but no rioting.
Nothing worse than a sore winner....
Lets see...
SF celebrates...beyond whats acceptable multi arrests
Ferguson riots loots burns downs store fronts multi people hurt no arrests.....
Whats the diff here?
Diversity rears it’s uncivilized, undocumented head.
Two were shot, but hundreds were victims of drive by slappings.
Any responsible mayor would have said that ANY rioting or mass celebrations that result in ANY property damage or injuries will automatically result in the cancellation of the city’s parade.
I thought San Francisco was the city of peace and love.
Aw, it ain't like that all the time!
Sometimes there's tornadoes! :-P
