SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco is cleaning up after some revelers celebrating the Giants World Series victory turned rowdy.
KTVU-TV reports a public transit bus was set on fire, a vehicle was flipped over, and the windows of several businesses and vehicles were broken as fans took to the streets following the Giants win Sunday night.
Fans also lit bonfires, fueling them with couches, signs and newspaper racks. Firefighters had to be escorted in by riot police to fight some of the fires.

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - The Employee Action Rights Network is giving out its Bad Boss Award and the latest winner is Bon's Off Broadway.
EARN says sworn affidavits from one current and one former employee say the owner doesn't pay minimum wage and doesn't offer vacation or overtime pay.
"One of the ways the costs are so low or the prices are so low perhaps is that people aren't being paid what they're legally entitled," says EARN's Stephen Von Sychowski. "We want to highlight the real cost of a $2.99 breakfast, which in this case, unfortunately, appears to be the rights and entitlements of the employees who work here every day."
Bon Wong is accused of paying servers $6 an hour from the till, an allegation he denies.
"Their side of the story right? Just a couple of the staff that got let go, that's their accusation," says Wong, insisting he pays minimum wage but admitting he takes $2 an hour from each server as a tip out for bussing tables.
Wong is also accused of not handing out paystubs, T4 forms, and records of employment. One affidavit says the employee worked 11 or 12 hour days and was not paid overtime. The other says on more than one occasion, the worker was called in to work and sent home after one hour without being paid the minimum four-hour daily call out.
Worker Christine Cayer says Wong has always been good to her. "I wouldn't be here almost 17 years working for him if he was a bad boss."
The inaugural Bad Boss Award was given last year to Anil Dhawan, the owner of three Subway restaurants in Vancouver.
I'm sitting at my doctors as I type this waiting for my flu shot. Dude sits down beside me gets on his Iphone. I hear some epic music like from 300 or sthg. Take a quick glance and he's watching porn. He quickly turns down the volume, hides the screen from view and continues to watch... Wtf. Posted via RS Mobile

Just got my shot, doc tells me I have to wait 10 mins in waiting room to make sure I don't have an allergic reaction. This guy has moved over to the seat I was in as its right against the wall. Now he's enjoying ultimate privacy for his pr0n. Only seat available for me to sit in? Right beside him... Posted via RS Mobile
Haha.. too late now I've left.. Funny thing is his wife came in shortly after my last post and he quickly put the phone away so he must've been still watching.. a good 15 min porn sesh in a doctors waiting room

I get so annoyed by shit like this. Everyone wants it from all angles. I want: a minimum of $10 or whatever it is(are servers still less?) from the restaurant, AND I want whatever tips I get from customers.
That's great that you can tell people you only make minimum wage, but you don't make min wage like the guys at wal-mart make minimum wage, so why are we treating you the same?
But in this instance they did nothing wrong. The woman is the retard here. Although she probably thinks she's very unlucky and this whole situation is unfair since everyone does it.

I'll have to disagree. I'd rather call them a necessary less-than-good than a scumbag.
