Not that I would join in the fray, but thoughts DID go through my mind when I was thinking about what its like to flip over a car/set it on fire/break a store window. It's just a very primal thing that..............hey it might be fun enough that some people will go over the threshold of rationality and control and commit these crimes.

As for being embarrassed, 99% of the people outside Vancouver will NOT remember this. We'll continued to be remembered by

Old White People as: Good skiing at Whistler

Young White people as : the place with the pot

Asians as : Where half of my relatives live, and they can afford Mercs and BMWs cuz its cheap there.

America as: A great city with 30% less doucebags than America

Rest of the world: Great city with great weather.

Oh yeah, don't be a nuisance and "help out" tomorrow, stay out of the fucking way, let the pros do the work.

From my understanding, the Bruins fans got KO'd by a group of guys after taunting an older Canucks fan and the guy that fell was wearing a Canucks shirt.

From my understanding, the guy who fell was a fan (non Boston) who tried to jump over the ledge to cut the crowd. Kinda like parkour, I guess. He missed, fell onto the metal sides and rolled down to the bottom plaza.

The Boston fan, supposedly who just passed away at St. Paul's Hospital, was supposedly taunting an older gentleman and got his butt beat. RIP.

Any idea if the vpd used their LRAD sound device purchased for the olympics??

Isn't it supposed to disperse crowds by emitting annoying sounds? I was at homer and georgia watching the game and then saw some of the rioting. There were about a dozen cops right after the game by BMO. Then they all ran off down an alley and everything started getting smashed. Not an officer in sight for a good 15mins after that.

I feel sorry if anyone was in a porta potty when they were tipped over. Saw a pregnant chick smashing windows too. A rubber bullet would knock some sense into her.

I saw one guy try to intervene and got knocked out by one of the rioters. Absolute Neanderthals. I have no sympathy for anyone who got abused by vpd. There was plenty of time to leave the immediate area safely without confrontation.

Harvey Specter 06-16-2011 12:10 AM

There's some idiot on the radio who called in and said the rioters should have done more damage because the caller said the riot is for the bike lanes and higher taxes the city has imposed, like seriously WTF.

^ FUCK what a disgrace to McRoberts.

There was footage on CBC of a Boston fan with a bloody lip and he was going around pushing random people including some older guy before getting tackled by Genesis security guards, I wonder if it's the same person but CBC made no mention that he was injured.

alking out onto Granville Street, the first thing I saw was smoke in the air.. I knew shit was up so I walked towards the area.

Got to Georgia & Seymour and went up top the parking lot, where I stayed for an hour and watched everything unfold. Cops later came and threatened us that if we didn't leave they'd send the dogs after us. While I'm all for getting things under control, I can't agree with this method..

Anyways, here are pictures.

Cop who threatened us about the dogs.

& the dog. I complied, I have no problem with that, but it's tough for us to get out when they had only interest in herding us towards the crowd of idiots.

This smart young gentleman openly spoke on the canada line about lighting two cop cars on fire and breaking windows. Do your best to ID him.

From the pic of the older gentleman in the Boston jersey lying down (looks knocked out) I don't he would run around pushing random people. Then again I'm just judging a book by its cover.



And yooo, I blame you. If you just sent everyone $7, nothing would've happened!

Honyoung 06-16-2011 12:16 AM

It's the same guy, it was a older guy, maybe in his mid 40's, that was going around pushing random people around before getting tackled.

How else can the cops determine who's starting shit and looting then by getting the majority of innocent bystanders and looky loos to GTFO, NOW!?!

It's obviously not personal when they're trying to clear the area. The fewer people there are to deal with, the better.
