Most people don't think it's ok for there to be damage. It's only the select few (let's call them "damage dealers") who can't seem to be excited about a championship and drunk at the same time. Unfortunately, the non-damage dealing majority population has come to expect this sort of behavior.

// I know it's happened before, I know it will happen again.

Especially again next year, when the Phillies win again, baby! Pew Pew illegal firework!!

// That doesn't mean it should be tolerated.

It isn't. Rioters were arrested. Maybe not all of them, but efforts were taken by the Police to have a full staff and respond accordingly.

// I guess what surprises me most about your response

Bad assumption, Rob.
