Oakland Beats Tampa Bay
In the battle of post-game celebrations, the fans in Tampa Bay have nothing on the spirited Oakland fans. Sunday night, following the Raiders’ loss to the Bucs, East Oakland sizzled and burned with young rowdies demonstrating their loyalty to the hometown team by trashing and looting stores, burning cars and spinning doughnuts in intersections all up and down International Blvd. More than 80 people were arrested in the melee, most for vandalism, destroying public property, or public drunkenness. Meanwhile, in Tampa Bay, Florida’s “Bay Area,” exactly one person was arrested: a dyed-blonde Miss Thang who was baring her implants to the crowd gathered to celebrate the Buccaneers’ first-ever Super Bowl championship. Asked to comment, Oakland riot-participant Hector Barbazino said, “They only had one arrest down there? Day-um, bro! And it was for what? Some bitch flashin’ her titties? Oh, that ain’t right, yo.” “That ain’t cool at all, man,” added Barbazino’s cousin, Ricky Ledora. “Shee-it, they ought to come to Oaktown and see how we get down here, yo. Look at Carlos over there in the chopped Toyota, yo, his bitch LaShanté be hangin’ out the sunroof all damn night, and she butt-naked, man! Butt-naked!” “Oh, yeah, bro. Bitches be throwin’ they titties on my windshield for hours, yo. Pressed titties on glass, what I’m talkin’ about.” Barbazino commented, as he poured lighter fluid all over a parked Subaru station wagon and set a match to it. “Word, homes. If Ray-Ray didn’t had to take my ride to go pick up his baby-mama before ten, we’d still be gettin’ it, them titties on glass.” The word from Tampa Bay was that, other than the breast-baring incident, not a lot of carrying-on occurred. City residents marched a few times around the three blocks of the downtown area, some of them carrying American flags and singing “God Bless America,” and a few people were observed drinking Mike’s Hard Lemonade from bottles hidden in brown paper bags. After an hour of this, most of the crowd dispersed and went home to watch Alias. In Oakland, however, it was a different story. The large crowd merrily jumped on moving cars, broke windows and set fires for hours. When the mob energy began to wane, police fired tear gas, rubber bullets and wooden dowels in an attempt to further incite the crowd and egg them on to new heights of destruction throughout the night. “Come on, you miserable bastards!” shouted Sergeant Arnie Cocklip at the crowd, as he fired his service revolver in the air. “Let’s show the world how we kick heiney in Oakland. We’re number friggin’ one, goddamnit! Break something! Burn something down!” Reluctantly, the worn out crowd complied with police orders and thoroughly trashed a nearby McDonald’s, a Kelly-Moore paint store and the Gomes Tire and Service Center. Said one young reveler, Jose Chingamadre, “After we burned the three Chevys over on 151st, and threw bricks through the window of the day-care center there, I was ready to go home and watch Alias. But then the cops made us stay out here and keep going. Man, those dudes are like hard-asses, you know?” Damage in Oakland was estimated at over $100,000, with the police that were present throughout the night gathering the day after to vote on which of the rioters would receive a full share, and which only half shares. “Them little slacking sonsabitches that only broke a couple windows or just missed a pedestrian while they were spinning doughnuts think they’re getting a full share, they better think again. Punk-ass bitches gotta show me something special to get that,” Sergeant Cocklip explained. the commune news had a sympathy riot Sunday, trashing the offices of downstairs neighbor Crochet! magazine. “Thank Christ Lil Duncan wasn’t here to see this,” said Stigmata Spent, after most of the crowd had finally dispersed in the dawn’s light. “There wouldn’t be a solid pane of glass left within two miles of here if she’d been assigned to this story.”
