Yes, I've been transfixed by the live stream since first posted here on FR (and praying fervently we don't have anything like this happen here in Dallas with the NBA Championship parade later today, since out inner city has its quota of thugs and leftists).
Just as interesting are the comments on the CTV webpage such as:
This is one of those few moments in time where you can actually enjoy some police brutality as opposed to be disgusted by it.
I don't think I have ever ever been so embarassed to be a Canadian....have always been proud...not so much tonight....so sad....so Lord of the Flies it is scary.....be responsible for YOUR ACTIONS!!
Leave senseless rioting to America. People getting hurt cause of a GAME, I wouldn't put us above that but I would expect better from Canada.
While I take no joy whatsoever in the Vancouver riots, it's the expected outcome of a once-proud nation that has enacted various forms of Socialism through the years. That last comment that I quoted is characteristic of a hateful, petulant leftist mindset.
Canadians have always had an anti-American mindset. I live near the Ontario border and this is nothing new. But I have to laugh when they show they are just as human and not above that.
The "fans" in Montreal rioted when the Habs won in 1993 so I'm not sure why this is so surprising to the writer.
Canadian TV has been covering this since the game ended at 10:45pm ET.
In the last hour or two they showed people hanging around and observing cars on fire and stores being looted.
The live reporter was only a few feet from one of the cars on fire. Really putting himself at risk in the middle of the chaos. Eventually the smoke built up and onlookers had to retreat from the car fires.
Saw the video. I said to myself, these are Canadians?
