Rioting after Vancouver' Loss to Boston

Re: Rioting after Vancouver' Loss to Boston

The "fans" involved in this shit are thugs and morons nothing more. It's a fucking game and they lost. It's not a "healthy sign of democracy" - what political statement are they making? None. They lost a game and managed to throw a drunken temper tantrum fucking up their own city in the process.

There's nothing good, noble or even socially conscious coming out of this other than a bunch of drunk fuck ups didn't like that they got schooled by another team.

rioting is actually a sign of a very health country. It lets the powers that be know that if you fuck up you're gonna get this. I'm proud of Vancouver.

Hmm is that an original thought, or did you pick it up from some survivalist forum?

okay, but Vancouver? I thought Canada was full of mostly peaceful, civilized people... and I am sure that it is... Just seems out of character, even though it was supposedly a group of people who don't reside in Vancouver which I am also sure that is the case... a little shocking the size/scope/location and everything though.

We still have our fair share of retards - and of those retards there are violent ones to be counted in their numbers. I admit that I was kind of surprised that when I heard there was rioting in Vancouver I was thinking that it would have been a couple of peeps in a fistfight, nothing the scale of the bullshit you've seen here, which is not a character trait of the city at all.

Wonder if it was pre-planned and organized?

Peeps showing up with crowbars and baseball bats? How many times do you find yourself heading out carrying that shit with you?

I kind of believe what the Vancouver police chief is saying - that it's not really the "true" fans that caused a lot of this shit, but I do think that the fans themselves have a part in this - there's a lot of people that are just standing by idly when the mayhem started, or even participated once the mob got rowdy.
