    Riots in Chicago after #Blackhawks win. Wait, "celebrations," because it's white hockey fans. http://boingboing.net/2015/06/17/blackhawks-fans-riot-and-for-s.html …pic.twitter.com/RXMejVY0Dl

        @BoingBoing I get your point, but this was far from a riot. Only a handful of people arrested for being stupid. Police handled it well.

        I can't imagine why large numbers of happy, smiling people weren't treated the same as angry, grimacing people. @BoingBoing

        @Isegoria @BoingBoing NYT style guide: large groups of white people on the street henceforth to be referred to as a mob or riot

        @gmdod To be clear, these were no riots. A few very small isolated incidents, but no looting, no police in riot gear, no tear gas...

        @gmdod Vancouver still makes me sad. Most of the people involved were looking for a reason to riot, regardless of the game.

        @BoingBoing Except it was basically 3x the crowd of a Cubs night game, and just more puke to clean up. Double standard? Sure. Riot? No.

        @BoingBoing also ironic because your photo is outside Wrigley field.

        @RyanK @BoingBoing yes ironic because Blackhawks play at United Center and Wrigley is home of perennial losers: the Flubs

        @agsciencewriter Wrigleyville is notorious for this. Look up St. Patrick's Day (not an irish neighborhood): http://www.barstoolsports.com/chicago/a-barstool-chicago-tradition-recapping-the-police-blotter-from-st-patricks-day-saturday/ …

        @agsciencewriter Wrigleyville is known for being young, mostly white and affluent and has a high concentration of sports bars. I avoid it.

        @BoingBoing The only time there is a crowd celebrating a championship outside of Wrigley.
