But more of what people really wanna see

CROSS COUNTER

it's kinda funny, I was only down there briefly in a car, but I seen like 2 fights on the sidewalk, both involving a different bald white guy with a beard... and now that photo... watch out for them bald whiteguys with beards...

 

[SPINMASTER X]

That guy had "deal with it" sunglasses to go along with that beard. Pretty awesome.

Not that all of it was, but guarantee this was pre-meditated by some opportunist. Was reading that early on they already had people with mask running around doing shit. All it does is take one person to get that mob mentality going and bam, Coach bags a plenty.

When I see stuff like this, all I can think is do we REALLY think we're all that advanced when a sports game can put us back to anarchy? I mean in the grand scheme, fucking retarded reason for a riot. Oh no, my team of dudes couldn't get that thing in a net!

There was some serious rioting here when the SF Giants won the world series. But nothing like this.
I've never seen Canadians act this way. Do they have some secret beef/chip on their shoulder to the US?

Also I would never loot... But if I did it probably would be Louis Vuitton... Shitty/stupid putting it on craigslist the next day though.

I totally agree, I was saying yesterday that theese people are really not even a step up from gorillas beating their chests with their raising their arms and screaming, not saying any words, just making loud noises with their mouthes and throwing shit around.

I love the idiots on Facebook that say it was them in the pictures. Might as well just call drive down to the police station and eliminate the middleman of having the cops come to you. I really hope all of these idiots that posted pictures or said it was them in the pictures get arrested. I was watching the news tonight and they had one of the chiefs saying that most of the people weren't really hockey fans but just people looking to start a riot. He said they had masks and hammers ready to go. So it sounds like if the team won or loss, shit was going to happen. When I first saw somebody on my Twiiter feed say "Here come the riots!" I thought they meant Boston, never thought it would be Canada.

i watched a bit of the news today, and the cops said that there were way too many people with masks, goggles, weapons, and gasoline for it to not have been pre-meditated by a group of people.

plus there was a riot here last year about the olympics, so it's not like this hasn't happened before.

 

[SPINMASTER X]

I thought Canadians always did this.

Things would've gone over the top if there were guys dressed like Terrance & Phillip running around.

 

[dullbuoy]

Vancouver, boring most of the time except for teh riotz

Open to smart-ass responses. Winner gets a high-five.

Watch in order. You see the guy around 2 minutes in.

Good stuff.

People who riot after sporting events have no place in our society. They need to be arrested, declared enemies of the state, and deported to a lonely island in the south pacific inhabited only by cannibals.

EDIT: In fact this enrages me so much that if anyone did this shit near my house I'd put on my pistol, some magazine pouches, and get one of my long arms and start fucking shooting people. I'm sure the fire dept and any other EMS persons wouldn't mind some protection.

 

[Eric]

LOL was that guy that delivered the OHKO on the phone when he was throwing the punch? He's holding his left hand up to his ear.

 

[Lagduf]

This is the only time I'll ever make such a statement:

I want to see more pictures of the police beating the shit out of these degenerate lowlifes. They should have at least deployed tear gas and plastic, less lethal, shot.

That shit would have ended after a few motherfuckers got hit by a 12 gauge bean bag.

Okay, those things would have probably made the situation worse...but god damn man.

People are fucking stupid.

I wonder how much of the rioting was due to the 100,000 people hanging around downtown and watching the game on various outdoor screens.

None. Thousands of people stayed up all night in massive groups in 2002 to watch the World Cup games in SK/Japan on giant screens in Koreatown and no one rioted in LA --and LA knows riots.

I couldn't figure out what the images in the the first post were about, wondering what could make Canadians so angry? Checked google for "vancouver riots", saw:
"the Vancouver Canucks lost"
lol'd

Just wondering if the irony is lost on you.

Koreans don't riot in Koreatown.
