Rioters set school buses on fire during the Knicks riots. Police do not have adequate support. This is Zohran’s New York City. The media wouldn’t call them riots, but rather, celebrations, mayhem, chaos, and fans storming the streets.

New York mayor Zohran Mamdani offered a one-word message on social media: “HISTORY”. He later confirmed that the victorious team would get their parade through the city on Thursday, with more details yet to come. It will be the first parade for a New York team since the New York Giants won the Super Bowl back in 2012.
Several American news outlets reported chants of “Knicks in five” and renditions of Queen’s We Are the Champions echoing around the city.
The New York Post reported that “out of control” fans smashed a police car outside Madison Square Garden. Footage also showed officers shoving crowds back as fans jumped on cars.
Other footage showed projectiles thrown at police, and people could also be seen smashing a school bus with makeshift clubs and setting another on fire elsewhere.
Oh, the parade should go swimmingly. It’s another excuse to tear the city apart.
“I’ve been doing this job for 20 years, and I’ve never had to wear riot gear,” a police officer told the New York Post. The report described “a frenzied mass” that took over Times Square soon after James Dolan, the Knicks owner, pleaded for calm.
