Congratulations to the Los Angeles Lakers, the 2010 NBA champions!!! I was fortunate enough to be downtown to witness the aftermath of game 7 and got to snap a few shots on my point and shoot. Additional photos are available on our flickr. Check out those rubber bullets in the photo below. I was shot in the back and in the arm while taking photos and my friend Nick was shot point blank in the leg. I understand the need for the riot police though as I witnessed a few unruly fans break a large window and send a dumpster into oncoming traffic. It is unfortunate that after such a great moment in Lakers history we as a city cant even celebrate without destroying our own city.

Enjoy the photos.
