This is the kind of thing that makes absolutely no sense at all, and chaps my hide every time I read of its occurrence. What does this leave for the homecoming of the champion team or have to do with the game at all? I'm not a Lakers fan, but this is truly disturbing to say the least. I understand there are good photos of the hooligans and I can't wait until they are cuffed and brought in to jail where they belong. (I've been trying to post this all day, but finally determined that there was something wrong with my Windows startup, so it's old news already.)
