![Lakers Win, Fans Riot, YouTube Shows It All [VIDEO]](https://helios-i.mashable.com/imagery/archives/04HvaRfmL5kUj4rvjSmdkCd/hero-image.fill.size_1248x702.v1647018756.jpg)
This isn't the first time Lakers fans have rioted following a win -- turmoil erupted back in 2000 and 2009. And it's also not the first time this footage has ended up on YouTube, either. CitizenTube, however, has provided us with a concise view of the havoc via these Regular Joe-made videos.
Although CitizenTube has been around since 2007, its been ramping up its efforts lately to become a legit news source (see its recent experiments with a news feed).
Despite the usefulness of citizens documenting civil unrest and the like, we wonder how such amateur documentation will progress if YouTube does, indeed, gain more cache as a news source. Maybe in future years, we will actually have interviews with revelers along with footage of the turmoil -- which seems to be rather identical each year. Next time the Lakers win, perhaps?
