Lakers Parade Madness -- Calm Before the Storm

The stage is finally set for the Los Angeles Lakers $2 million victory parade -- and TMZ has locked down photos of the incredible scene ... before the chaos ensues.

Los Angeles Lakers

The parade hasn't even begun yet -- and injuries have already been reported along the parade route. Plus, the S.W.A.T. team is already on scene to keep the peace, this according to our friends at KLAC radio.

Should be fun...

17. This is not about "Laker Haters" --- I don't even live in California. I'm just calling it as I see it: a disgusting way to spend this amount of money in today's world.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On a socially responsible note, everyone involved has got a f**king lot of nerve p*ssing away sooooooooooooooo much money when L.A. city workers are getting the boot and other jobs and services threatened. I don't care who paid for this sh*t. It isn't picking up anyone's morale (except for those mentioned in the original post) despite what some self-serving local politicians (Bernard Parks) say. They claim there will be loads of revenue from this idiocy. Yeah, let's see where it goes.

24. This is strange, the crowd is made up of 90% latinos, and I have not seen one white person. its changed so much, only the lations go to christmas parade in hollywood or the july firewworks at the beach. this parade and victory celeb is really not a good idea, the movie stars who go to the games could care less, its just a media frenzy to stroke the celeb players egos, let kobie pay for it, he is an arogant ass, he and his wife not paying their help. and all the little losers come to the colliseum to cheer these guys, this is just a stupid basketball game, get perspective, here, $2,million dollars............... truly a waste

27. THE STATE DIDN'T SPEND A DIMNE ON THIS PARADE PEOPLE. THE MOINEY CAME FROM THE LAKERS ORGANIZATION, PLUS FROM PRIVATE INVESTERS SUCH AS HIGH PROFILE ENTERTAINERS , COMPANIERS, AND SPROTS PEOPLE. YES WE HAVE A RECESSION, BUT DON'T BLAME IT ON THE LAKERS OR FANS THAT WANT A PARADE. TALK TO YOUR GOV. OR PEOPLE THATS HANDLING OUR TAX DOLLARS.# 3 I'M SURE YOU CAN TAKE YOUR LIFE SIZE M&M BALLS ELSE WHERE. THIS WAS A GREAT PARADE AND I DON'T KNOW WHO TMZ, IS GETTING THEIR INFO FROM BUT 1 LADY BROKE HER ANKLE WHICH WAS HER OWN FAULT. IT HAS BEEN A GREAT DAY AND A WELL ORGANIZED DAY. SOMETIMES YOU NEED TO HAVE SOMETHING POSITIVE TO TAKE YOUR MIND OFF ALL THE NEGATIVE BS THAT WE'RE GOING THROUGH IN THE WORLD. BELIEVE ME JUST THOSE FEW HOURS OF WATCHING THE PARADE TOOK MY MIND OFF MONEY TROUBLES, NOW IT'S BACK TO WORK. THIS WAS THE BEST PARADE OF ALL PARADES AND THE LAKERS DESERVED ALL OF IT AND SO DID THEIR LOYAL FANS. PEACE AND LOVE TO ALL!!!!

29. I WAS AT THE LAKER PARADE EARLIER TODAY AND IT WAS VERY PEACEFUL. I WAS NOT AT THE COLISEUM. I WAS ON FIGUEROA STREET AT 11 AM. PAU GASOL AND THE OTHER LAKERS WAVED AT ME AND I TOOK PHOTOS OF THEM. THE LAKERS ARE THE GREATEST TEAM IN THE WORLD. L.A. DID NOT PAY FOR THE PARADE. PRIVATE DONORS PAID FOR THE PARADE. L.A. DESERVES TO HAVE A PARADE AND IM GLAD THAT WE HAD ONE. LUKE WALTON I LOVE YOU. L.A. AND THE LAKERS ARE THE BEST- ANY THAT TALKS BADLY ABOUT THEM ARE JEALOUS. THE LATINOS AT THE PARADE WERE NICE AND WELL MANNERED.

30. This is a total disgrace. To waste so much money on a team that really no one cares about is ridicules. Do people realize that are literally dozens of tent cities of homeless in L.A.? May God Bring His Wrath down on such glutonous behavior.
