Those clod poles, neer-do-wells, vandals, punks, thugs and assorted clueless dolts who smacked people around, piled on others, fought with and sought to injure police, set fire to cars, broke into stores, trashed and looted at will in Vancouver Wednesday night all are a pathetic pack of cowardly destructive losers. {snip}
There arent any excuses for what they did. None. None. At. All. If these whiny, pampered, useless sacks of skin even try to claim it was because their team lost, then they havent got the intelligence of a ball of mud. {SNIP} The damage was one thing. The insolence is altogether another. Consider what they did.
These vulgarians defecated on the reputation of one of Canadas first cities. They hurt the stores and the employment of honest city-caring people in Vancouver. They sprayed dirt and worse into the face of every half decent sports fan in all of North America. They turned what was even with the loss a moment of intense national interest and pride into a world-class embarrassment, an ugly, bloody, ignorant and arrogant stain on the city that hosted the Olympics.

Riots should not be written-off as pranks. Mayhem shouldnt be passed over as the actions of a violent few. Tearing the heart out of a city, ripping up its stores, despoiling its reputation, and setting its citizens for a while in a state of fear should draw the just, angry and full attention of the state. Vancouver deserved better Wednesday night. {SNIP}
The rioters are a third-rate band of losers who still managed to cast a shadow on what should have been win or lose a wonderful night for all the country. Everyone in Canada who loves hockey and Canada despises these people. {SNIP}

Yes, a lot of people tried to fix what the rioters broke. That’s one good thing to come out of this, at least.
no American believes that the riot was typical of Canada and I hope Canadians don’t think the crime here in the states is typical of MOST Americans because as in both cases, its NOT.
Send them to Churchill naked and covered in Diana Sauce.
“Canadians” just recorded on their Iphone people who were burning cars and looting and didn;t do squat to stop it.
And these were not ‘a small group”....these were thousands who wanted to join in the looting and burning and the pictures and videos proved it.
Those are the Canucks fans. No “anarchist’ could afford a $150 Canucks jersey.
