Points of importance: -This riot was nothing compared to what happened in 1994 -News coverage and police statements indicate that only a fraction of people were actually causing trouble, the majority of people were taking picture for Facebook and videos for YouTube -This is not an indicator of how the rest of Vancouver acts in their day to day lives. I agree, it makes us look bad, but Canadians are still the friendly folk we've always been. Every city has their share of jagoffs, just search Boston Fans in youtube, most people know the video I'm talking about. It's time to move on and stop dignifying the stupid behaviour of a few with responses, because 12 years down the road when we get to a Stanley Cup final again, we don't need people trying to recreate the "2011 Stanley Cup Riots". I'll be downtown with the rest of the volunteers today cleaning up. | ||

I watched this with thousands of other people. Everyone there went home depressed. The people you see here, are in no way related to hockey. They were just looking for an excuse to destroy the city and the fans are the ones who rallied up to clean this mess up starting this morning. there are tons of pictures of people decked out Nucks gear. The hell are you talking about??? a lot of people just showed up for chaos like in '94, but there was definitely plenty of canucks fans there. | ||

Burning cop cars is one thing (standard mob fare), but that video of the mob beating a civilian trying to maintain a semblance of sanity sent me overboard. Most fucking disgusting thing I've ever seen. Are we really still this primitive? Civilization is a joke. | ||

I believe the police will be hunting down trouble makers who foolishly allow themselves to be caught on camera. | ||

For instance Liverpool doesn't win the premier league in almost 20 years and they were the team with most wins(now man utd has more) and they don't riot.. Benfica the best team in Portugal is being overshadowed by Porto in the last 30 years and we never rioted even with Porto being accused of various crimes and corruption for the last 30 years since they started winning.. I don't think this is acceptable or understandable.. it's really stupid and sad.. On the other hand football also brings forth too much violence and even ice hockey is nothing compared to football in that department.. I expect more from you canadiens since you guys are one of the most inteligent and peacefull countrys in the world.. My guess is that we're used to taking care of hooligans in Europe.. We've got PLENTY of experience with cases like this.. The picture of that skinny Asian guy is hilarious. Not even with a hokey stick he looks dangerous. | ||
