Wow! What about those riots after the hockey game in Vancouver, Canada!

As a Canadian I was shocked and overwhelmed watching thugs set police cars on fire, overturning cars, stabbings, beatings, throwing rocks through store windows...etc.

Needless to say I am no longer considering Vancouver as a part of Canada.



there is no excuse just because they lost to be so disgraceful, attack others, attack police officers, fans, even when the R.C.M.P. arrived, no one could keep these ****ing thugs from stopping.

Perhaps I'm mistaken. You might like to look for a reason one city can show two such different faces within a year of each other. Perhaps this year's riots only happened because of last year's street-cleansing purge. Perhaps we just watched a backlash against sweep-it-under-the-carpet policing.

The Olympics were quite different that a hockey game.

How very true. But there's only one Vancouver. One year you applaud the city to the skies, the next "I am no longer considering Vancouver as a part of Canada". What changed, that was my question.

spot, if you had of read my above post, I was quite clear on this.

Seriously, no, there's nothing in your post about what changed at all.

What changed? How does a triumphant city turn into "I am no longer considering Vancouver as a part of Canada" from one year to the next?

How can you possibly claim to have been clear on it? What part of your reply represents clarity? Just using the words doesn't make a thing true, you know.

The question is - I'd quite like to know your answer, too - why has Vancouver changed so much in your perception in just one year? Is it a different city to the one which hosted the Winter Olympics?

Way to stay classy Vancouver.

Its a disgrace indeed.

Some of those pictures are going to get a whole lot of people in biiiiiig trouble.

a night in jail minks?:mad:

Many Hockey fans are way too serious, it is just a game, isn't it? Didn't they ever hear the motto: "There's always next year"!

thanks Cody, perhaps spot will understand it all now.

haha!

anyone who is dumb enough to put their happiness in the hands of the Canucks is dumb enough to go out and wreck **** when the inevitable happens.

That is the single most inconsistent team in the NHL! They're riot inducing freaks. It would be one thing if they were just bad, or just good but they fluctuate so drastically between the hottest team in the league to the team that forgot how to play hockey that I assume all their fans to be schizophrenic. Or have amnesia.

I don't think so Koan, we have had similar here in Calgary with the Flames and their playing or not playing the game.. I don't believe the team had anything to do with the rioting. It was just the pack/herd mentality. Somebody thought it was a good idea to start a riot and the sheep followed.

of course the team never had anything to do with it.:rolleyes:

strangers who were not involved in the game started the riots.

Happy to say some have come forward and taken responsibility

Good to see canadians haven't lost their english heritage, nothing like a good riot after a game. :sneaky:
