L.A. Lakers fans riot outside the Staples Center





L.A. Lakers fans celebrated their NBA championship victory Sunday night (June 14) by rioting outside the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Eyewitness reports said that the police officers at the scene were being belted with rocks and bottles. There are also reports of fans starting fires, although it isn’t clear at this stage whether those fires included buildings or vehicles. One unconfirmed report says that at least one police vehicle has been set on fire.

Live footage at 9:15pm local time from a local television station clearly shows rioters attacking signs and shop fronts. Police control of the area at this time would appear to be limited, with vehicle traffic having to turn away as they approach the rioters.

More when we have it.

9:30pm PDT Update: Twitter users near the scene are warning people to stay away from the Staples Center Riot area and surrounding streets, describing the scene as chaos. More reports of fires being lit.

9:33pm PDT: just grabbed this shot from a live video feed showing rioters attacking a taxi. Immediately after this shot was taken, other vehicles were surrounded and attacked.



9:38pm PDT: strong police presence now outside the center, but rioters are in other streets. More passing cars being attacked.



9:40pm PDT: unconfirmed report that the Staples Center is on fire. There were fire brigade vehicles earlier, perhaps confirming the report.

9:42pm PDT: reports that police have declared the riot an “unlawful gathering.” TV footage shows rioters dispersing. Some attacks now happening West of the Harbor (110) Freeway

9:47pm PDT: fires still being lit



9:50pm PDT: reports of two arrests, police claim to have the area under control. Live helicopter footage still shows people in the area though. This shot was taken earlier….



9:55pm PDT: looks completely under control (shot taken at 9:54pm from a live feed)



10pm PDT: the “under control” crowd is currently trashing a bus under the 110



More updates in 30 minutes. Rioters have moved past the 110 and are attacking more vehicles, including a TV van.

10:35pm PDT: less rioters on the ground, but attacks continuing, including a Robeks Juice outlet. A lot more police in the area, rioters run when police arrive.

10:40pm PDT: AP, some local outlets now calling it a riot (many local sites called this “celebrating.”) We know that two police vehicles have been damaged, no reports of injuries yet.

10:45pm PDT: live video is following a number of people who don’t seem to be doing much. People on Twitter are still saying there is activity in the area. Worst may be over.

10:50pm PDT: still a few scattered groups, although they seem to be more behaved…least they aren’t stopping traffic. Debris on the road seems to be an issue per this shot (the white bits on the road)



11:02 pm PDT: Riot police spotted, and a mass of police cars in the area….. now they’re charging down the street, not sure at what though.



11:10pm PDT: more police action. They seem to be corralling rioters more than anything. Related: this shot from Twitter shows the shoe store trashed by the rioters



11:25pm PDT: we’ve lost our live video feeds. Twitter updates from the area have dropped off. It may not be completely over, but we’re probably going to call it a night for updates. If there is anything new, we’ll update as it becomes available.

My thoughts exactly. WTF is wrong with people?

[Rankings]

crazy crazy

[fatfoo]

Often there are riots after a sports team wins.
Fans go drinking, looting and vandalising.
I read many articles about these riots in many different cities.

Fucking idiots...We won the Stanley Cup this year and there wasn't a single incident or arrest with 100s of thousands in the streets.





A couple of pics I took last Friday.

Fuck basketball, anyone tired of hearing about the fucking Celtics and Lakers? It's become so fucking predictable.

[Roby]

[amacontent]

Its 99.9 percent people that didnt go to the game or are fans. Dont see many white people do you. Look at the area.

ha ha, yeah well if the Cubs win we might see some crazyness, but I doubt anything like what happened in LA. When the Cubs made it to the NLCS back in 03 shit was pretty wild down here. I remember quite a few arrests, but NOTHING like what's shown in those pictures of what happened in LA.

When the Sox won the World Series it was nothing like that either, a few random arrests, but people weren't smashing cars in the middle of the street and lighting shit on fire.

[tiger]

Those aren't fans. Those are thugs/idiots that know a win will be an excuse to act even dumber then usual.

[LickMyBalls]

Just gun the gas....

[_Richard_]

i remember watching a video a year or so about a group of people doing that to cars in oakland or something?

[ottopottomouse]

Just wait till England get knocked out of the world cup.

Ca. laws are fucked up and you would get in trouble, but that's why you wouldn't see that in Texas or Florida because that's exactly what would happen.

It's only states that have tough conceal carry laws and weak self protection laws...

[Holly Lez!]

It for sure wasn't gay ville as I live there and we would never riot or ruin our pretty little city woot woot! Plus gays didn't really care about this series.. FUCKING MORONS ruin it for the rest of the fans

[will76]

0 people in New Orleans rioted when we won the superbowl and the city was packed with millions of people right after the game and for the parade. If anything it had the opposite effect here, you had black, white, asian all partying together, hi'5ing each other, dancing in the streets. Look at how many other cities have problems with riots after sporting events (Detroit, Dallas, LA, etc.)

Funny how people made such a big deal after Katrina when some rift raft looted some department stores and one famous black guy had a boat load of Heineken . Most looting after Katrina was for food and water and I would have done the same in the same situation.

You don't have to be rocket scientist or social expert to know why hockey fans in a large group will be more civil than basketball fans.

I'm just going to say it. No good will come of large groups of black people in public areas, especially when they think they have an excuse to lose their minds.

filthly latinos!!

I took these pictures a few years ago. Montreal was CLOSE to winning the Stanley cup, but there was still 2-3 games to go.

At first it was cool.







Then people started to be assholes. Cops showed up. LOTS of cops.



Even a police helicopter.



But it was too late. Fucking people went batshit crazy looting, destroying property, and even torched 17 cop cars:





Sports fans = Crazy.

[StickyGreen]

Idiots will riot over basketball, but do not mind their government fucking them up the ass, what a bunch of idiots...........

Rioting because some grown men threw some balls in a hole. Wow... get over it...

Sweet pic you took mark..crazy to witness these things in person

[EliteWebmaster]

Fans in general are downright stupid. Do you think Kobe or the rest of the Lakers care you are rioting in the streets because you care about them. They don't give a rats ass, they are home banging their model wifes/gf, partying in their homes.

Seriously, those idiots rioting or even those going to the games are stupid morons. I always get a good laugh and shake my head in disgust when I see morons like that.

The only time I watch a game is when I know I have something to gain monetary wise resulting from the outcome of the game.

Like I did in Game 7 (I pocketed just under 22K, hope you guys did good in your bets too, because betting on the Lakers to win it was a no brainer). That was the only time I watch games, when I have something riding on it. If I don't you won't catch me watching those self entitled grossly overpaid sports cry babies.
