The police had to get the fire department to leave because it got too out of hand. The original car flip/fire was put out and police got control (right out front of the post office) and when I checked back about 5 minutes later the mob had swarmed back and started fires again (as well as smashing up BMO). Not a whole lot of people compared to the GVRD live in actual downtown... same problem with the fireworks too, it's not the people who actually live there doing the damage.

Tons of evidence of those involved taking the skytrain back out to the suburbs. I've lived here my whole life and it's easy to tell where most of the locals are from. I'm not saying it was 100% out of towners, that's not realistic. Like how it's being blamed on actual anarchists and fans, it's truly neither of those and just straight up drunk *******s who joined for the sole purpose of fighting with police and destroying property.

The Canucks team store, banners, etc. all along the areas were untouched, I went by this morning. Shows pretty well it wasn't about the game. It was targeted mostly to certain retailers in addition to flipping cars/starting fires.
