Unbelievable:

"Vandalized businesses included a Foot Locker store, a jewelry store,  a pawn shop, a beauty shop, a Sears store, a Subway sandwich shop, and a Whole Foods store. News crews showed looters rushing into the Foot Locker and rushing out with shoes."

And people are still puzzled how stereotypes just keep reinforcing themselves.

Not sure; some of us have YT blocked at our place of employ (because other jack-wagons..thanks R. Lee...abuse the privilege of the internet.

I'd been making off-handed comments all day about it.  My whole mantra was this --- who cares --- in the end, basketball is just a game.

Hell, I even say the same about hockey.  I just enjoy it a hell of a lot more than some of these spoiled kids in the NBA.

No, this is peace-loving people in Oakland after the transit cop verdict yesterday.

Yep, can always count on those in the East Bay to riot for any reason they can...

No, it's not a riot, it's a community coming together to help a business owner remodel his store.  ;)
