Is the fact that a 4-5 hour riot involving a few hundred people makes world news.
Just goes to show how cool, calm, collected, and orderly Canada is for the most part. I saw a riot worse than this a few weeks ago...and all it consisted of was a huge lawn party for some fraternities.
I am truly embarrassed and disappointed in the people involved in what happened last night....but it was the minority. It was goons hell-bent on using game 7 as an excuse to stir up trouble.
NOT the majority of Canadians, Canucks fans, or anything of the sorts.

Amongst it all, a cluster had formed. A circle around a fight. In the middle where masked up ?rowdies? trying to make an escape. ?Kill the fuckin anarchists? was the slogan shared by a few. These anarchists where too self-conscious, and in a riot where the everyday was ruptured in the clothes put on that morning, these black uniforms became totally alien. Suspect. Ridicules. As for security culture, the logic was lost in the conspiracy of numbers. As a vandguardist adventurism, it had them running away from the riot and towards a riot cop line.
