Lakers Riot Standby

June 15, 2009 - 2:20 AM | by: Adam Housley

At 11pm on a Sunday I would normally already be fast asleep in preparation for the coming week and also due to the fact that we work on east coast time, so usually an early rise. Instead I am monitoring local coverage of the small riots and skirmishes that are ongoing in downtown Los Angeles after the Lakers nabbed their 15th championship in franchise history, that of course includes the Minneapolis days. Also, thanks to technology, I have the LAPD scanner going on my computer. Currently almost every call comes from a unit that has arrested looters. A shoe store, a gas station, even a bus was attacked. Having said that, the riots are not as bad as the last time the team won and for that matter nothing in the neighborhood of the big riot here in the early 90’s when I was in college.
