great shots! i wonder if we passed by each other at some point.

i was on Broad St between 10.15p and 1.45a between City Hall and Washington Ave - it was quite a sight at all times. the cops were incredible all night and handled the situation rather well i thought. i took photos all night too ending my string of posts with some commentary on how the night ended.

i thought it was

Worst thing I saw: a woman standing right next to me was hit with a flying beer bottle. She fell and smashed her teeth in.

This is nothing new. It is sad and it is ridiculous!! BUT, when there are tens of thousands of people gathered together (most of them drunk)with no type of order or rules.. some people go crazy.I don't think it has anything to do with "Philly" or Philly fans. Does it suck?? YES. But it's just what some idiots choose to do when "celebrating" or protesting, or whatever.... I remember being very

I was at Broad and Walnut soon after the game was over and it was awesome. People high fiving each other. Yelling and screaming. But what followed was despicable.

Makes you wonder if some people in this city deserved to be a part of this joyous occasion.

I live on 15th and Locust and when I got back there was a little paddy wagon outside my apartment building with cops arresting

First of all, great photos. Secondly, I think you're being a little unrealistic if you thought that 100% of the people out last nigt were just going to high five and dance all night. Truth be told, it's too bad a woman got her car flipped over, but quite frankly, parking your car on Broad last night was about as smart as wearing a steak around your neck when you see a pack of wolves. I'll be

What's as pathetic as the people flipping the car are those people who stood around taking pictures and videos and instead of trying to stop it.

I'm sorry you're right, I will change that, and i will also add that the Commerce Bank windows were smashed, and now that I have seen the car flipped that wasn't students. The reason I said kids was I talked to more than a dozen and I asked them where they lived.

2008-10-30T13:30:48.181-04:00

While I agree with you 100% on how sad all this destruction is, why blame it all on the local students and the "young people"? There were hundreds more so-called "adults" behaving with even less maturity. A (student) friend of mine spent the last fifteen minutes of her time out there walking around with a bloody eye because a forty-something man who probably pays taxes picked up a piece of a

2008-10-30T11:39:30.198-04:00

this isn't even a tenth of what it was like up in boston last year. to not expect some property damage would be naive.

as a whole, the police were awesome last night. i chose to celebrate on the streets of manayunk and they were very restrained with the two or three thousand who were dancing on main street.

I just feel like this is what people should feel compelled to do after they LOSE not WIN!

2008-10-30T10:31:45.203-04:00

Holy crap! Man, I so wish that I would have gone out. A once in a lifetime opportunity and I didn't go. I'm regretting it.

2008-10-30T09:56:12.467-04:00

Hey, While I hear what Mr. Blake is saying, I'm sorry that I must respectfully disagree. Human beings with cognitive thought processes have a personal responsibilty to themselves and their community to act and behave civily. It doesn't matter whether its a city of 2 or 200 Million, and to use the excuse that the people of this City haven't seen a Winner in more than a "quarter century", to

2008-10-30T09:48:20.813-04:00

You can have a good time, but when was turning over cars, breaking windows and looting part of celebrating. Its not an excuse that other cities do the same thing.

2008-10-30T09:36:07.723-04:00

I only saw coverage on Fox, is the City trying to bury this I wouldn't blame them. I couldn't believe the poor women who's car was overturned at Broad and Walnut while she was eating dinner at the Capital Grille. Nice going. Karma baby, watch out.

Keep in touch!!

Alcohol! All it takes is one to start the ball rolling and people follow . They get caught up in the moment.
Trust me this has happened in other cities. Wait until friday! More drunken fools !

having watched a city block go up in flames and having dealt with the riot police during the 2000 RNC and the south street riots, i gotta say its a fine line here - - yes, property damage occurred and, as sad as that is, one would be naive to think that it wouldn't have happened in a city of 2 million after all the hype around the 'quarter-century drought'. its vital to have riot police on site

2008-10-30T04:31:59.294-04:00

Unfortunately people don't stop being evil because of a championship. I'd seen posts on message boards asking other championship cities what are some good riot ideas!!
