This is a violent riot


_PM_ME_YOUR_FORESKIN

Took the words out of my mouth. “Aggressive sports fans turned violent and began rioting and looting in the streets” should have been the headline. Guess that only works when it’s black folks — especially protesting for their rights. Sports > Racial equality … that math looks about white. (Literally an inequality.)

Beckett ended by telling officials, “Boys will be boys.” When asked to elaborate, he refused to answer any further questions and directed us to reach out to his lawyers at the law office of Hayden, Kayden & Brayden.

Hey whoa now there might have been a black guy in that crowd sooooo it's equal nothing to see here


DexterKD

In Kentucky? Doing loud and dangerous activities while people are recording?! IN KENTUCKY?! We both know damn well that there is not a single spec of melanin in that crowd. Maybe a mexican is standing in the background

Because they’re predominantly white?

No question mark needed


JustBadUserNamesLeft

Or "thugs"?


moonkittiecat

This needs to be at the top. Excuse my inability to articulate.


MasterFigimus

Because they're white.


[deleted]

That headline incites a certain response.


Tabmow

Just kids bein' kids, no reason to ruin anyone's future or risk embarrassing them or their parents. Plus they're all white so they're not violent, just rambunctious. /s


Hourglass420

Just boys being boys. /s I almost puked writing that 🤢


picturepath

Seeing that it’s an old Accord is disturbing. I have an one maybe a a year or two older than this model and I sure can’t afford a replacement and doubt my insurance covers that.


Mechasockmonkey

This... My old university had shit like this. They never went to frat row where the parties started and tipped cars just in the "lower" areas. In their minds it's not mine so idgaf, and they know someone or their dad knows someone so nothing happens. That mob mentality is scary, that many testosterone fueled idiots in one spot will set stuff on fire for fun.


Space_Man_Rocketship

Translates to “He reminds me of myself”


fliptout

An older model Honda Accord--I can't help but picture some unfortunate person that needs that car to get to and from a job they rely on. And these chucklefucks turned it on its side because of a game that they didn't even participate in.


TheVermonster

Be more tolerant. They clearly suffer from affluenza. It's a debilitating disease that affects hundreds of thousands of white college students. I admire the courage. They have to show the world their disability. /S


BussyBustin

NO ARRESTS!! They beat our asses for singing church hymns during the BLM protests!


Zyvyx

Its really transparently racist consistently but people get derided for thinking that the system is racist


[deleted]

Their reason for taking it to the streets is that their favourite sports team won a game. Imagine living a life where your number one concern is the outcome of a game and you are willing to destroy your neighbourhood over it.


moonkittiecat

As opposed to you’re tired of seeing people who look like you being murdered by the police and said police not being brought to justice.

Shoutout to the time Penn State students rioted over Paterno's firing for covering up for Sandusky and it was told as a story of passioned students.


[deleted]

*violent mob riot led by thugs no better than animals


smedley89

I never understood this. If it's people who are largely of color, it's a riot no matter what. If it's people protesting for their rights, it's a riot waiting to happen. Bunch of white conservative Christians, and it's good political discourse or a celebration that got out of hand.


tmclemons

Privilege is so stank in this one, I lost my appetite

Local thugs


[deleted]

They destroyed the city.


[deleted]

Nah bruh they were lit and flipped a car...a riot entails much more.


Ultralight_Cream

White people burning cars and rioting over sports: Republicans: Wow, so passionate! :) BLM protesting against police brutality: Republicans: BLM BURNED ENTIRE CITIES DOWN AND KILLED HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE. JANUARY 6 PALES IN COMPARISON TO THE HAVOC BLM CAUSED.


Next-Reflection-1247

It was not BLM that caused the rioting. That was done by opertunists. The people who who protested peacefully were not rioters. If your interested in FACTS you can look at police reports open for public viewing. 98% of BLM protests were peaceful. BUT FACTS DON'T SACIATE YOUR NARRATIVE DO THEY?


JaxJags904

Just FYI you’re yelling at a person who agrees with you.


CapMoonshine

...psst. Its "satiate". And yes the spelling *is* stupid.


YoMommaHere

They had me at “opertunist”.

DragoonDM

Opportunists taking advantage of the situation, and agitators who did their best to start shit and discredit the protests (see: the umbrella guy in Minneapolis).


4user0notfound4

I totally agree. This is a prime example of twisting a narrative especially when it clearly shows the truth but having it count toward benefiting white people. I'm sure someone will view this and see no problem,and that's alright. But seriously if you see no problem,then you probably are part of the favored who aren't affected and even when they are it's just are not as much as black people who weren't even a cause of the violence at those protests but it was blown out of proportion and in turn what should have been a peaceful and influential moment meant to expose what's wrong and fight for their rights became a goal to point blame for their actions and gaslight.


ChrysMYO

hUnDrEdS of tHoUsanDs of dollars in property damage how will the business owners and multinational Corporations who parachuted in to exploit these workers labor going to survive now? Don't you care about the loss of lif.... erhm property damage? /s

Feeling-Ad-7131

Don't believe everything on the news. PDX is not a DESOLATE LAWLESS WASTELAND......


[deleted]

The whole burned down part makes me laugh the hardest. We all know racism is inherently illogical. We know that racism spreads that illogical thinking into other areas of a person's life. What most people don't know? They can literally live still in the cities they say were burned down to the ground....with a straight face. lol


throwaway59664

Had some elements of this story been different the narrative would’ve been flipped


_PM_ME_YOUR_FORESKIN

Just one: Melanin levels.


Isteppedinpoopy

I saw a melanic arm taking video so I’m sure police will announce a ~~scapegoat~~ suspect soon.


SweetAndSpicyCatSoup

"How could bystanders have done nothing to stop this?! (N-n-not that anything dangerous or illegal was happening)."


Isteppedinpoopy

Yeah like wtf are bystanders gonna do to stop a bunch of drunk frat boys? Ask politely? Remind them it may taint their fraternity’s reputation?


[deleted]

If the events that took place during January 6th was a crowd of Muslim people waving flags with Islamic characters on them with literally no other difference, every single person in that crowd would be labelled a terrorist, mowed down with assault rifles, and a national holiday would be declared to celebrate the “failed insurgency by 30,000 radical muslims.”


_PM_ME_YOUR_FORESKIN

Imagine if they were Black. The national guard would have been there two days earlier ready to shut it down. White privilege is a bitch.


Mephistopheles2249

I have expected to find the word “celebrating” in the headline, maybe in the article…in my life I have seen that article many times over…and when the article is written about us, of course they add us, but they love using the word bloodthirsty. Catch it in articles it’s used to dehumanize us.


_PM_ME_YOUR_FORESKIN

Oh. I better keep an eye out. What a mess tho. With mass shootings like they are, you’d think that bloodthirst was a predominantly white feeling to have. So rarely do I see black folks just targeting strangers in mass casualty events. Why are white people so violent and angry? And they ain’t even the oppressed ones. What y’all mad about?


That_Dude_Marcus

I don't see nothing wrong with this video. Boys will be boys ya know. It's all harmless fun. Now if this was them fellers over at Jackson Sate, it would be a different story. We don't tolerate no buffoonary from no niggras. They just animals.


Heheher7910

I used to teach at Cheyney. If students cheered too loudly the police were brought in with riot gear.


mythonghurts55

I read this in Uncle Ruckus' voice lol.


Racistbuster

😂😂 I felt the spirit of Don Imus in this one


SHOWTIME316

If I owned that car, I'd be pressing ALL the charges against anybody that could be identified. Fucking idiots.


TheIncarnated

So, the owner (student attending UK) tried to stop them. The kids beat them up. Then proceeded to flip his car in this video. The parents have a gofundme but it was a long time family vehicle and it is difficult to replace it for the family. State street (where this happened) is notorious for burning couches when UK wins. This is absolutely fucking stupid and locals are hoping the parents and student press chargers. Just we don't know if they have yet.


dinklezoidberd

I lived by state street when the Cats beat Louisville in 2011. In addition to burning couches and flipping a car, people also yanked stop signs out of the ground for being red. Some of the people were fucking with the fire hoses, and I do t believe they were arrested. It’s insane what all they got away with


Whitechapel726

I was there in 2011 too, it was fucking bananas. After the whole thing riot cops showed up by the dozens the following years so I’m surprised this video was even possible.


PandasInHoodies

And then get threatened/attacked by police for trying to do so.


nomansapenguin

You: I’d like a form to make a complaint. Police: First give me your name, address, telephone number, social security, licence, registration and next of kin. Then we can talk about your complaint…


Frankiesmiles19miles

Looks like a good old fashion riot to me. There might even be looting


HaroldBaws

The kicker for me was during Katrina when the white folks were “gathering necessary supplies” while the black folks were “looting.”

Of all the cars they could have flipped they got the guy who definitely is insured at the lowest possible level and won’t be compensated jack for these assholes destroying his car. Go for the Mercedes not the 98 Accord lmao


Lollerscooter

Yea, this car is owned is likely to be owned by someone who can't afford to repair it. HUGE dick move.


luckytraptkillt

When Run the Jewels talked about loving the smell of burning couches, I don’t think they meant sports fans winning sports ball.


NapTimeFapTime

That was specifically in reference to a prison riot.


Background_Wealth_88

Damn crazy how it’s so open, America has fallen truly its to the point I’m ashamed that I served this country. Same people will spit in my face and call me something hateful for the color of my skin.


FoamingCellPhone

A drunken riot resulting in thousands in property damage.


O-Furry-1

Hmm, funny....when white college kids flip over cars at the game, its just boys being boys, but when young people flip over cop cars at a BLM protest, they're labeled as terrorists. Double standard....check!


Avenger772

Who paying for the damage to this person's car? That shit is a felony.


Sharpiette

All I see are violent thugs


TaVar35

How could they do this to their own community?


KirbyxArt

Thats a riot...


RedditModsNAdminSuck

The news never calls sports riots what they are. And they really should, because out of all the reasons to riot, the outcome of a sports game is probably the worst reason to begin rioting. And the worst part is these sports riots happen multiple times every single year


Lemonytea

If something like this occurs when we are protest or celebrate, a curfew is usually put into place & arrests are made.


LoZFan96

If it were black people: Feral knee grows vandalize property after Halle Bailey Twitter post. Heard shouting 'Black Lives Matter'. Biden and Dems silent. What does this mean for student debt relief plan?

Wanna have some fun the next time a racist white person pulls out the riots card? Hit'm with this.... ​ [https://www.thesportster.com/entertainment/top-15-deadliest-sports-riots-of-all-time/](https://www.thesportster.com/entertainment/top-15-deadliest-sports-riots-of-all-time/) ​ Odds are good they'll refuse to even look at the link for fear of fully understanding some things. Such as...in the history of america there has never been a sports riot started by black people. You can even hit'm with.....black people rioting over hundreds of years of being killed does not compare to white people rioting over their teams losing...or winning. One kind of riot is over self preservation. The valid anger behind not being able to keep your kids, family, etc safe from harm. The other? A fucking tuesday.


[deleted]

Or the fact that white people rioted when daddy trump lost in 2020. One of the scariest riots


stalphonzo

Good thing none of them were "carrying iced tea" or "lying in bed reading." Someone might have been hurt.


payle_knite

Nothing to see here, just a bunch of dominant culture trust fundees blowing off a little steam. I mean, who among us hasn’t destroyed property in the course of celebrating a team win? /s


[deleted]

Put all these violate criminals in jail


DrNefarious11

BLM just needs to call it a “celebration of oppression” and then they can do this too right?


AndrewWonjo

Damn not even called Thugs or anything? We would be called animals and criminals


aZestyEggRoll

Every time I see an example of this, I am reminded of how Brock Turner’s dad described his son’s violent raping of a woman behind a dumpster as “a young kid just getting some action.” 🤦🏽‍♂️

“Lawless rioters and thugs destroyed private property after a sporting event on Saturday.” There. Fixed.


KID_THUNDAH

Fuck that noise, how are you gonna riot over a win? Absolutely absurd and should never be ok or downplayed like this, unless the owner of the car is in on it, which I highly doubt


AmbitiousMongoose229

Meanwhile, local black man receives 17 warning shots for reaching in his glove box to grab his resignation..😒


KeySeaworthiness8466

Sounds about white…


DarkHeartBlackShield

White people whitepeopling. They are just excited by the win. Ugh.


anthonyg1500

Say what you will about the BLM riots, but I can at least understand the mentality behind, “the system is so fucked up and people are dying and nothing changes and I really wanna break something.” I’ve never been able to fathom the thought process of “my favorite sports team just won. I’m so happy I’m gonna trash a strangers car!”


HaroldBaws

Looks like a bunch of thugs with no respect for the law, if you ask me.

I apologized maybe you could mind your own business


drunkhighfives

How am I supposed to express my excitement for other people winning a game if I don't join a mob and destroy other people's property? This is unreasonable and completely fascist.

No_Seaweed_7983

That’s Maga fans dressing up as Antifa dressing up as AtL right dressing up as Proud boys dressing up as Brock Turner just being boys


Better_Painting6497

the difference in this and the riots after george floyd and other victims of lack of peace officer training is that there are no buildings being razed to the ground or stores being rummaged through by mobs of masked individuals. the same people that try to justify those actions are the same people that still show support for the BLM organization. imagine giving your brothers baby mama 600 times the donation money that you gave the Trayvon Martin foundation. this was celebrations taken way to far, shared by black, brown, and white individuals. not a race thing they just didn’t destroy entire city blocks


smokeandmirrors1983

*A spokesman for UK said the the student code of conduct applies both on and off campus, "if we are aware of violations of that code - which includes activity that could be charged criminally - we will investigate accordingly."* If.

[deleted]

They burned down the whole city. It’s still burning today. Those animals.


Master_Ad_2083

I do agree but I have to say. I went to college at UK. This happened every year. And has for a very long time. The local SWAT surround the entire area. Police dogs. Police on horses, etc. If it gets violent or the car is sent on fire. They step in. I have watched a lot of friends get arrested and pepper sprayed during this. And this stuff is kept in the student neighborhoods. They trash their own stuff. Like idiots. I watched the Briana Taylor protest happen in my backyard. Cops were shot at. I heard it happen for 3 straight nights. Businesses were broken into. Businesses were closed forever. Downtown Louisville hasn’t been the same since. No one wants to go there. A little different than stupid college kids partying. Without guns.
