What are people in that town going to do if they win the World Series? Can someone explain the sense in rioting to me? |

I'm not in favor of anyone getting hurt, but a little destruction of property just shows you care.
And by the way, no, I've never rioted, nor will I ever. I'm just saying the whole idea makes me smile. |

Destruction of your own property would show hometown loyalty, I guess.
Destruction of other peoples' property shows that you don't care about anyone. |

Unfortunately it is more proof that young, stupid and drunk is a deadly combination, no pun intended. It would be fair to remove young from the above as well.
People rioting after championships is assinine. I thought that Boston was above that. When the Celtics were huge in the 80's nothing like this ever happenend. How times have changed in the 20 years from my teens to my 30's. |

Rioting and rioters may be stupid, but it seems they don't kill/injure people nearly as often as the police brought in to control the rioters do. Just goes to show you that our priorities are tilted too far towards protecting property and not far enough toward protecting people. |

[/ QUOTE ] let's just get this straight. it wasn't a HUGE riot. it was a lot of people in kenmore sq., for sure, but it was only a few assholes here and there that were destructive. most likely drunk college students, who were most likely not even from boston! |
