More photos from Lakers ‘celebration’

If you were upset by this earlier report, these new photos are bound to get your blood boiling. While it pales in comparison to some incidents this city has experienced, a somewhat small but very mobile (and destructive) crowd swept through downtown after Sunday night’s Lakers night and left quite a mess.

LAist has three photo galleries up of what went down after the Lakers won the NBA championship. It isn’t pretty:

• Photos: People Celebrating/Rioting over Lakers Win
• Is This How Los Angeles Defines ‘Celebration’?
• Photos: Lakers ‘Celebration’ Damage Found Around Downtown

Incidentally, Pittsburgh is holding its Stanley Cup parade at the moment. No indication of any problems so far. Iran? Well, they had something larger at stake.
