Lee. Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I really don't get this. Vancouver is by all accounts an otherwise progressive, cosmopolitan, well-off, all-around cool city. Why do they lose their crap and turn into trogs over hockey? It is tragic.Apparently, it's mainly kids under 20 that started this. A couple of guys on the radio just tweeted about how a pack of kids just ravaged and set fire to a VPD cruiser.Two of my daughters' friends went downtown tonight, as well as a handful of coworkers. This isn't fun for anybody. They've closed the bridges in and out of downtown, as well as cancelled inbound transit. Fifty police from Abbotsford were called in to assist. All over a :censored:ing hockey game.In all honesty, I'm quite ashamed at my town right now. Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEW.ERA Posted June 16, 2011 Author Share Posted June 16, 2011 Didn't that get replaced by the Emergencies Act?Yup! I don't think it will reach that point. I don't think was used in 1994 or the G20 last year in Toronto. JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Didn't that get replaced by the Emergencies Act?So it has. Eh, same basic thing, really. Last time the government invoked the War Measures Act it was to stop French Canadien terrorists who were planting mailbox bombs and killing government officials. If the Emergency Act is called to quash a riot over a G-ddman hockey game then it'll be a sad, sad day. However they get this situation under control I want to see mass arrests. This simply isn't acceptable.

speedy Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Coming from the guy who now has Dirk Nowitzki as his avatar after he won a championship, I'll consider that a compliment.God forbid I celebrate a little bit when one of my favorite non-Clipper basketball players finally wins a title. It's not like I'm calling myself a Mavericks fan.And God forbid you actually know anything about the fans and the city of Boston.And God forbid you're able to take a joke.It went beyond a "joke" after the ninth time you preached it.In any regard, I feel pretty blessed to have seen each of my four sports franchises win their respective championships. This is on par with the Red Sox in 2004 and I'm really happy I got to see it. I was heavily contemplating going into the city tonight to watch and enjoy the after game festivities (if the Bruins had won, which they obviously did) but watching any championship with your family is better.I decided against venturing into the city and stayed close to my apartment (Davis Square, if you're familiar) and it was beyond ridiculous. Near insanity, most of the police in the area rather watched and seemed to be enjoying the jubilance. I can only imagine how it was closer to the Garden. Regardless, great to see Daniel eat his words. Honestly never thought I'd be able to celebrate a Cup win in this city, but I'd venture to say it's more vindicating than the Sox in '04. I know that's almost sacrilegious but it is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Wow that's gotten insanely out of hand. It was funny a bit ago, but now it's getting scary. Really sad day for Vancouver, in terms of the riots.
