Vancouver Hockey Riot


 All I have to say is...

It is disgusting and despicable

It is pathetic for a small group to ruin it for everyone

It is a poor excuse for a riot. They are not fighting for freedom, for education, for human rights. They are looting, vandalizing and causing mayhem because a hockey game was lost (or using such an excuse)



(Search Vancouver Riot Pics on Facebook for more stupidity)

And it makes me especially upset and mad to see photos of stupid people posing in front of the exploding cars as if it's a backdrop to a music video or fashion shoot. If you feel like your life is missing some excitement, maybe they should move to Afghanistan or some other third world war zone to get a feel what it is like when everyday this violence is a reality. It is so infuriating for all of us Vancouverites, that all I have to say is thanks for all the unsung volunteer heroes who helped the injured on the streets last night and woke up early this morning to clean up the downtown area. We will refuse to have this incident mar the image of our beautiful city.

It is despicable. Especially like you said all of the people that stayed up all night and worked this morning taking time away from their loved ones to clean up after a handful of pitiful losers. Ugh.
