Mass looting breaks out in Los Angeles after Dodgers win World Series
www.newsweek.com
The LAPD said they had received reports of "looting at several stores in the area of 8th and Broadway" and urged people to stay away from the area.

Edit: Some people pointed out that “mass looting” is more or less propaganda. I edited the title to be accurate.

Newsweek isn’t accurate, in general. I thought it was newsworthy that there was a riot after the game, but maybe I should not be feeding into a right-wing mythology about “lawless left-wing cities,” which this story pretty definitely is doing.

    I think you are both right. I edited the title away from Newsweek’s misleading title, and added a note adding some context.

    I’m not sure I should have posted this, to be honest, for that exact reason.
