Poll of the Day > While everyone is acting like there was mass rioting in Philly last night, in MA

(+) Yeah! (+)

...there was actual rioting because their team lost.

https://www.nbcboston.com/news/local/UMass-Amherst-Students-Riot-After-Patriots-Loss-472680563.html

"University of Massachusetts Amherst students took to the streets after the New England Patriots' disappointing Super Bowl loss on Sunday night, climbing trees and poles and throwing beer cans, firecrackers, glass bottles and more.

Six people were arrested and a number of injuries reported as approximately 2,000 people congregated in the Southwest Residential Area of campus, according to school officials."

There was only 3 arrests in Philly.

Who cares if there were more arrested elsewhere? There was rioting in Philly.

That fumble was so unexpected lol

Flipped cars, fires, vandalism, stolen police horses, etc etc...

Yup, sounds like Philly was as quiet and peaceful as a convent.

lmao right?

the description sunny gave of the "riot" in MA is a lot more subdued than what happened in Philly last night.

Sounds like people in MA are quick to bust out the handcuffs for sports hooligans

Philly was still a riot lmao

That's not a riot. That's a handful of people out of the 100k+ that flooded the streets, acting irresponsibly.

The funny part is he completely ignored the fact that some of us were actually listening to the police scanners.

Why can't we logically say there were riots in both states?

Are you in Philly? Is that why you're saying there was not a riot when there clearly was...

I stand by my statement, our city was not gathering violently. Some people misbehaved, clearly. But it was a celebration.

You guys gotta understand that when fat Rick Grimes sees a gathering of people he doesn't see a riot. He sees zombies.

Also, sunny is delusional. Philly was about as peaceful as he and his wife are skinny.

idk im looking for reports and there isn't much to go on.

a few places robbed, at least 1 car flipped, i can only find one case of a fire happening. when i think of a riot i think of like, something a lot worse.
frankly speaking philly can and has been way way worse and this was nothing lol.

This is like saying a mass murderer who murders 1 person one month and 10 the previous month the newest one isnt murder cause he didnt kill as many

well, you are trying to say that "the depolrable human beings that inhabit philly can get WAY worse! So what if a few stores got looted, and a few cars got flipped or set on fire? its not a REAL riot if its not as bad as it usually is!"

his analogy fits perfectly.

In more concerned that a guy ate horse crap to celebrate.

Yep
Might have poorly worded it, but the message gets across
Just cause it isnt as bad, doesnt make it not what it is

Edmonton has done that several times for good outcomes in sports. When people start lighting shit on for and flipping cars yeah that's riots

or maybe. the scale of the event determines of it's a riot or not. and the events in it determine if it's a riot. if only a few things got knocked over it's not really a riot. a riot is like, mass destruction with tons of damage. when the next day 99% of things are fine, how can you call that a riot?

Maybe you can mention it in your sig and include the link.
Also maybe you can make a topic about it on the Food Board and invite people.

Guys, guys, look, look. I know you want to believe so desperately that Philly is a shit city and that we almost tore down our city hall but, seriously, we just tried to climb. That's not a riot, that's a good time.

how do you flip a car by climbing a lampost
