Re: Canucks lost - vancouver riots!
Looking at the CTV videos from my bunker south of the border, I notice very few are covering their faces, and its not just TV video, you can see every second person has a camera in the air. If the police want to go after these guys, it should be easy pickings, but the powers that be may prefer to play it down in the days to come.

"My team lost at iced hockey. Oh I know, I'll pop down to Future Shop and have a nce loot. I wanted a new big screen TV."
Would there have been riots in Bawwwwwston if the Bruins had lost? |

No excuse for that kind of behavior over a lost game. There is an element in todays society that take advantage of crowds to commit crimes. |

Re: Canucks lost - vancouver riots!
I seem to remember nearly a dozen of you ex-paters predicting the riots. So congratulations!
What amazes me is others still let there kids out there despite the clairvoyance. It has made the Guardian even: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011...ot-stanley-cup |

There is an element in todays society that take advantage of crowds to commit crimes. "The temptation will be to say this was a small group of people causing trouble, and that it had nothing to do with hockey. Well, yes and no. First, it wasn't a small group. We're talking hundreds, probably thousands, of citizens involved in the ugliness that erupted even as Gary Bettman was handing the Stanley Cup to Bruins captain Zdeno Chara. Having been around other sport "riots," I can tell you this was a whole other level."" "But more important will be what this, the riots and the ugliness, says not just about Vancouver, but about the Canucks' place in it. You can hardly blame the hockey team for what happened, yet at the same time its the Canucks who seem to be the match that lights the civic lawlessness in this city. There's a strange mentality here that the NHL is out to get the Canucks, to deny them their rightful victories, and it's propagated by some very prominent media voices. There's always booing when Bettman tries to present the Cup, but it was deafening at Rogers Arena last night, an apparent expression of a belief that the NHL screwed the Canucks, that suspending defenceman Aaron Rome, for example, was unfair and unjust and part of some grand conspiracy." "Idiots and criminals created last night's ugliness. But hockey and this town's hockey atmosphere were part of it as well. You cannot pretend otherwise." On another note, despite the crap weather all seems to be calm on the first day of the Third Test :thumbup: |

Other than the media and some boarded up windows, it's just a normal morning in the downtown core. They did a great clean up job actually. |
