Vancouver Riots 2011

Avatar

Thought I would share a few videos of the riots from last night.  I am going to try and get some photos today of the aftermath and clean up.


This last one after the car is set on fire is when the big turning point happened after this countless other fires lit and I watched live footage of 2 police cars get burnt.

I already posted this in the Canucks thread, but then I saw this one.

Someone’s set up a Tumblr page, where people are sending in pics they took of the rioters and looters to form a database of sorts:

Yeah it appears so. It’s such a shame; Vancouver is such a beautiful city and the people are so nice. Apparently there were a lot of ‘out-of-towners’ in the mob and just looking to cause trouble. Either way it’s really sad it happened. I hope they charge a lot those involved.

The riots really had nothing to do with hockey, groups of idiots looking for a reason to loot. There are actually little pricks out there advertising on Facebook stuff they stole and even saying it still has security tags!

If I start a riot you better believe national guard will be called in.
