33. That 2 million did feed a lot of people- the people who were able to come off of unemployment and do all of the work required to put that kind of event together. Of course, it probably was just a bunch of illegal immigrants they hired, who just use the money to bring over more illegal immigrants to take more of our jobs.... wow, you just can't win.

35. Most of the $2 Million was payed for by private donors. The city only footed small fraction of the bill.

And since when is being of colored skin automatically make someone an "illegal"?

Nice to see the racist douche bags that think they run the city of LA opted to stay home. As if whites don't riot.

Google Search Boston Celtics riots 2008....are they illegals too???

Riots and disturbances are not unique to any one city. But apparently only "classless illegals" riot.

36. I watched the World Champions Los Angeles Lakers victory parade on TV today by flipping channels on a remote control. I am a long time Los Angeles Lakers fan. I have going to Los Angeles Lakers home basketball games since the 1977-78 National Basketball Association regular season.

39. I met Kobe Bryant yesterday waiting to be seated inside the ESPN Zone at LA Live. What an awesome parade and a great day for the millions of Lakers fans that attended!

40. There are truly many ignorant and racist people hiding behind their keyboards. I hope everybody realizes that the cost of the parade was payed for by the Lakers organization and private donors. Pick up a newspaper or watch the news once in a while. The city isn't paying anything for the parade but you can still hate just to be a hater.

41. with the state of this nation right now, you would think these people (whoever they are) could find a more fitting thing to contribute this money to. this is absolutely DISGUSTING!!!

42. Wow, not people are telling other what to spend their money on. STFU already. If you are not a Laker Fan keep it moving.

43. 1) Thsoe were regular LAPD officers and officers from other cities, not SWAT.
2) The bufoons that were tearing up stuff probably never purchased a ticket for a Laker Game nor ever set foot inside the Staples Center.
3) The Lakers deserved a parade.
4) Since when do the filthy rich have to donate to meaningful causes. Maybe this is meaningful to them.
5)STFU already. Ole don't want to see Kobe succeed ass suckas.
