Edit: Some people pointed out that “mass looting” is more or less propaganda. I edited the title to be accurate.
Newsweek isn’t accurate, in general. I thought it was newsworthy that there was a riot after the game, but maybe I should not be feeding into a right-wing mythology about “lawless left-wing cities,” which this story pretty definitely is doing.
Seriously. Like… the thing I’m probably the most hardcore fan of is music, specifically metal, punk, and industrial. But I just cannot imagine rioting over something like a band playing a shitty live show or putting out a shitty album. I assume those would be the closest equivalence to your sports team losing. And don’t get me started on religious folk, most of them have legitimately lost their minds at this point.
I dunno man. I reeeeaaaallly wanted to smash something when Saint Anger came out.
