Congratulations to the San Francisco Giants who won the 2014 World Series last night with a dramatic 3-2 win over the Kansas City Royals.
And as is tradition here in America, the way to celebrate such a monumental athletic achievement is with a riot:

But here’s a new twist to the post-game celebratory mayhem. Fans are now taking riot-selfies:

Two people were shot during last night’s “celebration” as well. Stay classy, San Francisco.
