LA Laker fan rioters and Dodger gangstaz: "They are not real fans"

One interesting argument that comes up, especially when the Laker fans were rioting and looting and jumping around fires like African tribal savages and the recent beating of an SF Giants fan is "those people...they aren't really fans".

You hear it from the news, fans of the teams, on message boards.

Bullshit. Those ARE the fans of the team. Maybe they aren't like every other fan, but they are fans. And Laker fans and Dodger fans have a reputation. Shit talking cholos/gangstas.


Being a fan doesn't give you some kind of morality. Face it, LA fans in generally are pretty fucking shit.

Hell, LA is a town FULL of assholes. They have a reputation that they do live up to.

So in conclusion, fuck Laker fans.

 

They probably cheered it to be honest.

 

That's the kind of people who are inheriting this once great country.

Cowards with no conscience.

Out of 100 Dodgers fans who witnessed the beating, none intervened, and now a father will either die or be a vegetable.

 

Yes, all those people standing around doing nothing. I'm glad we're moving forward.

 

Good point.

There have always been the abettors and there always will be it seems.

 

Question.

Why are there two black guys in white shirts and quasi-berets in the crowd looking at the two men on ropes? Plus, one of the hangees is a white guy. What is the history behind this inflammatory photo? I know that lynchings were an ugly part of American history, but some things in this photo leave some obvious questions to an observer.

Presidente is right.

 

Good job in silencing El Presidente's racism without words, Westnob.

I can't stand Los Angeles either, but the reason it's a fighter's paradise is that a quarter of the population are kids of paranoid recent immigrants, as you would be if you had to move to Mexico to find a job, and act out against their parents' fears by being the opposite. 2nd generation immigrants are very different from 1st.

In the Northwest everyone's a sissy, no one has a clue how to fight although they think they do, and that's why I like it.

 

Plus, unlike the immigrants from other countries who do it legally, the immigrants who came over illegally to the US aren't exactly Mexico's "cream of the crop". The kids grow up poor in the land of the rich and famous since their parents can only get low paying shitty jobs. They become jealous of the wealth and band together and form street gangs to take the shortcut, just as their parents took a shortcut to get into the US at the expense of others.

Not everyone, but there is a definite reason for all the mexican street gangs, crime and violence and its relation to illegal immigration.

I'm not saying they attackers are mexican (but based on the sketches there's a good possibility they could have been), but there's a definite stereo type with going to "DOYER" games. There are certain sections people warn you not to sit because of the "cholos" who harass fans (even other dodger fans)..and in my experience, much of it seems accurate to the stereotypes.

 

This was just 2 seasons ago BTW.

This is the other murder at the stadium from 2003. Shooting.

there is the same hostile environment at lakers games (which I stopped attending due to being harassed whenever I wear blazers gear). or...even the NBA Fan Fest. :MARIS61:

 

Good news site. Clicking around...

Sarah Palin pretends to be against premarital sex, yet raised her unmarried daughter to get pregnant.

Like mother, like daughter. Now her daughter has made an ad for an organization against teen pregnancy. And get this hypocrisy--for a 30-second commercial, the family negotiated the price at a quarter of a million dollars!

Aren't the contributors to "Candie's Foundation" angry about how their money was wasted on a blatant campaign contribution?

The whole family is making millions from a fake presidential campaign. The Republican ex-boyfriend is selling his book. This is what Republican politics has become, just a way for participants to profit personally, like by decreasing their tax. It's not about what's best for the country or anyone other than No. 1.

 

Violent fans are found everywhere in sports. Its a tragedy, what happened to that unfortunate fan, but you see it in all sports since day 1. Picking out the Lakers Fans just because you hate the team is just dumb.

 

El Pres, I generally agree with your statement in that, gangs form when youth are lazy about making money the right way and don't have a lot of options to make money the right way (this may include athletics). But my point is that there are always blood thirsty morons. I am not answering you Papa G because I think the wiki article did a decent job.

 

I'd like to see the LA punks show up at a game in Philly. Now, THAT's a menacing fan base.

 

You have it wrong. I hate the team because of the fans. I've gone through this unprovoked shit talking/harassment before at laker games wearing blazers jerseys. Didn't even want to leave my seat to go to the bathroom because some cholos would start some shit up. Laker fans are just fucking trash. As far as I'm concerned, they live up to the stereotypes. Don't watch the team when they're losing but they're the first one to talk shit when they're winning. They are the lowest common denominator of fan.

 

Yeah Eagles and Phillies fans are the worst.
