Post-Super Bowl riot in Pittsburgh (The Fifth Quarter)

Post-Super Bowl riot in Pittsburgh

The Pitt News, the student newspaper at the University of Pittsburgh, has video of the riot that broke out on the streets of Oakland after the Steelers' victory over the Cardinals on Sunday night in Super Bowl XLIII.

How destroying a bus stop shelter on one of the main thoroughfares through Oakland became part of the celebration, no one's quite sure. It's frankly disturbing to watch, carrying the stench of malice and mob instead of the joy of victory and community.
