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.

    First thing I thought of was Philly. This is a whole other level of stupid. We’re not that bad.

      The headline is blowing what actually happened way out of proportion. It’s a similar level of stupid as Philly.

      I mean, “stupid” and “bad” are different things. Philly’s got lots of stupid, but they mean well.

        Philly got some “means well” but mostly we have “having a good damn time” and “doesn’t give a fuck”. We’re not malicious, but we’re not sympathetic either.
