With the Los Angeles Dodgers on the verge of winning their fourth straight World Series on Tuesday night, law enforcement officials have increased patrols and will take action if there is any reckless or potentially dangerous celebration. He says he plans to wake up.
When the “Boys in Blue” won the 202 Fall Classic, many fans got especially rowdy downtown, tagging police cars and looting businesses.
After Monday’s Game 3 World Series victory, Dodgers fans in East Los Angeles took to the streets, where cars were seen doing donuts and groups of mini-bikes were seen doing wheelies as they overran the intersection of Atlantic and Olympic boulevards. Some people cheered and waved flags on the sidewalks. At a crosswalk.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department ultimately declared an unlawful assembly and ordered the revelers to leave.
“Can you imagine going out to celebrate and then having to notify a parent that their son or daughter died at an intersection due to road rage or something like that?” said Sheriff Robert Luna. “Let’s celebrate properly.”
Luna added that if parties get out of hand, deputies will issue warnings, dispersal orders and make arrests.

“We’re not trying to jinx anything,” Bass said. “We’re all looking to see if we can quickly bring this matter to a close tonight.”
Dodgers fans take to the streets of East Los Angeles
Marco Villalobos, owner of East Los Boy Apparel on Whittier Boulevard, told KTLA that when you watch the Dodgers play, you know they’re going to win, and that means a big celebration in town. I didn’t.
The small business owner added that she hopes people can celebrate safely.
“Think about it. Think about the damage it could do to the city,” he said. “Think about your neighbors, think about your children, think about your parents, think about your seniors who are coming to celebrate.”
East Los Angeles resident and Dodgers fan Edgard Chipres echoed that sentiment, telling KTLA that he hopes fellow fans can channel that energy and power into the Bronx and take control at home.
“Nothing too crazy, no fireworks, nothing too loud, nothing extravagant,” he explained.
As for local law enforcement, officials will be working together tonight and in the coming days to reassure residents and business owners that they have their best interests in mind as watch parties and celebrations begin. He said he is working on it.
