Sports Fans
I just watched sports fans trying to view the Giants parade ruin, completely ruin 8 cars (the only ones parked within my range of view). First about 6 people stomped in the roof and windshield of a cab, broke into the vehicle, and pocketed all the paperwork. Then they went back up on the roof and jumped up and down a bunch more. The roofs of the other 7 cars were similarly caved. A City van had its windshield smashed with someone's heels and then 12 people tried to turn it over. Another car has it's tires slit. People removed rear view mirrors from several of the vehicles. The police, who were about 30 feet away and in great numbers didn't do anything at all for a full 25 minutes. Not sure if the pic will come out.
I hate sports fans. I say leave them in New Jersey..

Terrible but you have to be crazy to leave your car on a parade route

That's not the Giants parade . Looks more like Puerto Rican Day parade !!

nope 3:35 puerto ricans can't trash other people's cars with cops 30 feet away. there's only one race that can get away with that.

Stupid Americans.

Hmm, is this what we have to look forward to at Atlantic and Flatbush in the coming years? Please send this pic to Bruce Ratner. I guess we should be grateful the Nets are such a losing team.

And I see now in news reports that the police say that they made only 9 arrests for "minor incidents." As a rough estimate, I'd say the damage I saw was at least $80K and that was only in a < 1/2 bock area.

I hope "Stupid Americans" was a joke. They are far worse in other countries. Ever hear of "Lager Louts"?

What do you expect the fans to do when athletes get away with everything from dog "fighting" (aka animal torture) to rape and murder?

I'm not a Giants fan at all, but sometimes troublemakers simply use the event to cause damage, and it is not fans there to see the parade. I don't know what happened in this case, but there are always people who take advantage of the situation to destroy. I hope they are caught.

I thought that was the stampede to get to the voting booths.

you're right, everyone at the parade today was from New Jersey.
guess what, there are people who live in your cradle of culture and sophistication who actually like sports.
some of them even live in Brooklyn.
not everyone who lives in your crappy hipster neighborhood is a wine-sipping homosexual.

Uh, 8:13 what the fuck? Homosexuals don't like football? Why don't you just get honest and post "not everyone who lives in your crappy hipster neighborhood is a wine-sipping faggot." Jerk.

Has this been in the media at all??? I haven't seen anything yet. This is sick.

Fucking meatheads.
This reminds me of to the sexual harassment that goes on at Giants Stadium and that was exposed a few months ago.

It's STILL not nearly as bad as UK and European soccer fans, please. The "Americans are stupid" poster is utterly with his head in his ass living in a cave somewhere, knowing nothing about what happens anywhere. Try turning on a television once in a while, dude. Might see some lovely soccer-fan footage on YouTube as well.
