I shall never understand sports fans. Anarchists or no, there are still riots over sporting events. I cannot even imagine caring enough to watch someone else play a game, but it is an even greater leap for me to imagine caring enough to cause mayhem when someone else loses a game.

EDIT: Purely my opinion, of course. My diversions may well baffle others.

I really don't think its so much they are rioting because someone lost a game.  I think its idiots who wanted to riot, and now have an excuse.

I bet the exact same thing would have happened if the Canucks won.

Right. I wrote “sports fans” like they all do this. Apologies.

I may not like sports, but I like hasty generalizations even less.

And once again we have an instance of the losing team's fans partying harder than the winning team's fans. Unless Boston is also smouldering rubble and I haven't heard about it yet.
You havn't heard about it yet because it's always like that.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

That is nothing.  You should see what happens when someone insults our beer.

See, you take away people's firearms and they start smashing open windows to beat people to death with giant plastic legs.  This is your so-called higher civilization!

I should probably have my head checked, because I find myself in complete agreement with Nikov.

Ladies and gentlemen, the best moment of the riot:

VPD: Doing it right.

Best rioter moment: spraypainting over a Boston Pizza sign, writing Vancouver Pizza above.

I wish I had been there. I would have barricaded a two story bulding, flown Boston flags from the top of it, and written "Problem, Vancouver?" on the side. Cue the invention of a new genre: Canadian Survival.

That flashbang video reminds me of my cousin telling me about US Army "warning shots" with 40mm flare rounds.

"Hey LT, what's with this foot mobile?"

"Looks like he's on his cell phone."

"Do we have the [REDACTED] on?"

"... yes, yes we do."

*ploof* AAAAGH AAGH! *runs around screaming*

Good times.
