Though I'm glad the VPD are keeping the streets of downtown Vancouver safe in the Vancouver riot
Meanwhile the real Canuck fans aren't rioting, having left long before the burning of cars, trucks and police vehicles.
Even after police found and emptied out confiscated liquor, a lot of alcohol was still brought to the event without their knowledge before the end of the hockey game.
Regarding the people arrested: most of them will be found to come from good homes, and some had good jobs.
Wednesday night in Vancouver 2011 was the result of:
- City-approved street party zone
- Thousands of dollars of alcohol
- A media circus
But there is hope: hundreds of volunteers cleaned up after the mayhem ended around midnight Thursday morning, and were still cleaning up Friday.
