Lakers win, but LA still can’t cure stupid.

Act like you’ve been there before.

16. As of last night, the LA Lakers have won 16 NBA championships. By now, you’d think the fans there would have some shred of a clue on how to behave.

Apparently not.

Shortly after the the Lakers victory in game 7 over the Celtics last night, violence erupted on the streets of LA with people turning cars over (a little cliche, dontcha think? I thought LA types were supposed to be creative) ripping out newspaper stands and starting them on fire, starting trash bins on fire (really? like it doesn’t smell bad enough in that shithole…), burning / vandalizing cars and throwing things / assaulting police (brilliant. Smart move there, dickheads).

Due to Police control of the situation, the chaos didn’t come anywhere near the level of mayhem that erupted after the 2000 championship, where there were – you guessed it, assaults on police, burning cars, vandalization of vehicles and other property, fires and fights in the streets. Basically same situation, just on a smaller scale.

This year brought a new bit of idiocy though – fans were running out onto the I-10 freeway.

Yeah, you read that right – these morons were running onto a busy freeway.

In what microscopic corner of these peoples pea brains is the notion that torching things, assault, or running onto a freeway formulated? I suspect it’s closely related to whatever causes the synapse misfire that causes monkeys or inmates to throw shit in a confined place.

Anyway, pictures are worth a thousand words, and videos worth a few more – so enjoy the following. Just be careful that the stupid doesn’t rub off on you, we have few enough readers as it is.
