https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/04/us/philadelphia-after-super-bowl-win/index.html
Shortly after the final whistle, Philadelphia Eagles supporters came out en masse to celebrate their team's victory over the New England Patriots and the Eagles's first-ever Super Bowl victory in franchise history.
The festivities, however, weren't without instances of vandalism and looting by some fans.
Between the "E-A-G-L-E-S, Eagles" chants, some fans flipped over a car.
Aerial images from CNN affiliate WPVI showed fans packing Broad Street leading up to Philadelphia City Hall. Fans crammed the streets shoulder to shoulder.
Most of downtown Philly was packed Sunday evening, with celebrants braving the cold weather. Adults, elderly fans, children and even infants were out to share the win.

Win or lose, Philly must burn. Great videos and pics at the link. Hope people have great property insurance, and mental health coverage.
Here's what happens when Philladelphians climb on things that aren't built to hold people's weight.

to terms with their culture of violence? Those men are a bad example for young white children.

With anything more than a timeout
I blame white parenting practices, divorce, and the culture of losing family values for all this
Also, somehow Hillary is to blame

They are white, so they are merely "drunken revelers."
Maybe if the police try hard enough they can find a couple of black people to arrest for rioting.
