I am proud to be a Vancouver Canucks fan riot or no riot. 50-80 thousand people doesn't make it easy for crowd control. VPD did what they had to do. It only took a few out of towner to instigate and we got ourselves a full blown riot, they are probably all hitch hike here from Calgary anyways.

you guys keep saying it was out of towners, are you sure.. do you know the people who started it? or do you know everyone in the vancouver regional district and they have all told you it wasn't them?  I am not saying it wasn't out of towners and I am not saying it was.. what I am saying is it is pretty bold to assume there is no one that lives in a city area with a population of over 2 mill that would cause trouble. as for weather it was canucks fans instagating or not thats not the issue and it isn't a reason to bash any teams fans, what it is is another case of the city not being prepared. as for the earlier comment about what would have happened if some one tried to interveen there was a video of a guy kicking a car and a girl cold cocked him for it.. he sulked away... if there are only a few out of towners causing problem as people keep saying what about the 80000+ in towners.. you think a couple people are going to stand up to a big mob.. nope. the footage shows that everyone was cheering the few on, then others startrd getting involved.. we had a smaller scale thing in edmonton in the 80's I was in the area but not on the same street. as soon as people started beating and flipping a cop car the fire deparment turned on the water hoses on the crowd. people left and went home before it got much worse.. The VPD knows how fast protests get out of hand down there at the first sign of trouble there should have opened up with the flash bangs and the tear gas. mind you while I am all for protest and civil rights, I am also against civil disobeadiance so I may take a harder line view on some things. although I did have to laugh at the video of the guy who got hit in the gonads with the flashbang.. I am sure he isn't feeling all that great. Steve

Keep bringing those sweet pics! I'd be willing to bet most if not all the rioters were Vancouver-ites & there co-conspirators were all from the central coast & Island. As a kid playing hockey on the island the point of the game & sportsman-ship of any kind was always lost on the majority of the players & especially the crowd. It was such a redneck atmosphere you usually ended up fighting, even members from your own team & afterwards if you did well you'd have to watch your back anywhere you played. Wake the F..k up Van. that's the blue collar mentality your fellow citizens have, with no where to go & nothing to look forwards to, the youth of the working class out there has nothing to lose unfortunately. The riots are created by a socio-economic break down of classes that started 3 decades ago. But seriously it's a super nice place to visit in the summer months. Thomas Kicked ASS!

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.

NO, dont stir it up. Keep preaching your own political agenda and you may find yourself on a certain list we have.
 {this applies to whomever}. Feel free to discuss this mess but leave your crap someplace else. Remember this is an aquarium board. I,m sure there are many political boards where you can let loose on your opinions if you so wish. Thank-you.

How does robbery, assault, and arson translate into an acceptable social statement? Just because you don't like somebody or something isn't an excuse to behave like this. They destroyed the property of innocent people and companies, those caught should be forced to pay the entire bill.
