I think we should give credit where credit is due! There was a lot of people causing damage yesterday and a few that tried to make a difference. This thread is to show my appreciation to them and for the people that don't want to/have time to sift through the other full riot thread.

Starting with:

Dude in the Adidas track suit "This is our city!"

Trying to stop the flipping of a van. My bad for thinking you became one of them in the other thread. :P

[TouringTeg]

Just wow to the two girls defending the M5. In that vid you can can hear someone say "That's her car"

If it were two guys they probably would have been shit kicked.

[_Hotsauce_]

His team won and hes trying to help out his city...what's the problem?

[Culture_Vulture]

[scottsman]

[Splmash]

Bruins fan showing sympathy and helping clean up after Canucks fans. I saw him DT a couple times this morning when I was helping out, he was being really respectful and genuine.

[Vale46Rossi]

[Prolowtone]

I like how they are all chanting Fuck Boston and fucking up their own city... or am i missing something, like Boston wining the city of Vancouver instead of the cup? so pointless

[TouringTeg]

Anarchists trying to make people believe they are Canucks fans.

Anarchists and idiots. It really is too bad it played out like that. Also good on the people doing the clean up:)

guy in the checkered shirt got jumped by 10 + people trying to help the Bay and other bystanders out

[Cereal Killer]

I was at Speakeasy Bar & Grill on Granville when tear gas was released. The staff took in people who wanted to avoid the gas as well as helping those who came into contact with the gas wash it out of their eyes. Kudos to them :)

[Speed2K]

Wow, this guy is a monster!

Bert Easterbrook! He and a couple of other un-named guys trying to stop rioters from burning/flipping the pickup.

Way to go Bert!

[Ronin]

its really great he decided to help... but the jersey... seriously?

Do you even know the story?

He's a local boy that's a Bruins fan. After game 7, he got his ass kicked by the riot. People spat on him because he was wearing Bruins colors.

Next day, he wakes up early to help everyone clean up.

So don't talk shit about this guy.

Yep, these two assholes.

http://ow.ly/i/d7OK/original

And a couple other assholes.

That guy was awesome. He was yelling at the crowd, telling him this was our city...pulling a metal bar out of the window that the douche in the backward's blue hat used to break the window at The Bay.

[Boostslut]

Geez, that girl with the M5 i really feel for her and of course all the others who has businesses and personal property wrecked. Remember, for every one bad apple, there is a crop of beauties!

Not sure if this is the write place to share but I didn't want to start another riot topic. There are too many of them already.

Did you guys see this good Samaritan? A local photographer Maurice captured this photo.

His name is Jacky and one of the many who helped clean up the city after the riot. There is an interview with him posted on a local blog sharing his experiences with the cleanup group and his urge to help.

TLC: Why do you think Vancouver was a target of such riot?

Jacky: I don’t think it only happens in Vancouver. It could be any city and there could be a riot. But I think it was magnified here because the Canucks never won a cup.

TLC: How do you think Vancouver Police Department responded to this riot? Were you satisfied with Vancouver’s approach to this incident?

Jacky: I am okay with it. I don’t think we could have done it any better. Mob mentality is crazy and even police are enforcers so we have to watch for their safety as well. They couldn’t go blindly charging or start using rubber bullets on these people and stuff. As to post-riot, I think Vancouver couldn’t have set a better example than that.


TLC: When did you feel the urge to participate in the cleanup group and why did you do it?

Jacky: As soon as I saw the group! I just do it because I want to help out. Taking half a day off from work won’t hurt. This is my city. With all the negativity and people slamming at each other, why not do something useful like this.

TLC: How do you think Vancouverites responded to this incident?As part of the cleaning group, what was it like to share this experience?

Jacky: We responded perfectly! We shared a positive attitude and took matters into our own hands. I just hope by sharing this experiences, people can see themselves as more powerful than they think they are.

TLC: What are some encouraging words do you have for our fellow Vancouverites?

Jacky: We’re more powerful than we think! If you have an idea, let people know. Better yet, turn words into actions!

He even wrote an encouraging piece to spread the goodwill of Vancouverites here: http://thelifecommentary.com/2011/06/19/on-the-good-side/

It's really encouraging to see people like him and many other goodwill Vancouverites working in unity to help bring the city back to being the best tourist destination in the world. I think the whole thing has been exaggerated by Vancouver not winning the cup and pin pointing the idiots being the local Vancouverites and Canucks fan.

I think it'll take some time to bring our reputation back to what it was but in lieu of this, this incident has united many of us together.

Let this continue and keep up the goodwill!

[superSandhu]

Thanks to anyone on RS that helped clean up Vancouver the next day, true fans.

[Ronin]

^^ underage and cant post locals :p

We'll allow it for IDing rioters.

Just don't post phone numbers or addresses.

Names, pictures, Facebook, anything that is in public domain is fine by me.

[Ronin]

Oh pbbbt...guess I read that post out of context.
