There was rioting at the Atlanta 1996 Summer Games. So it happens in both of our neighbourhoods.
LMAO...a few things:
1. To compare what happened in
Atlanta because of a car bomb, to what happened in
Vancouver(because of hockey) is quite stupid. Regardless, Atlanta is WIDELY regarded as a cesspool. It's disgusting. High crime rates, poverty, homeless, etc. The scales of each of them were far different as well. What happened in Vancouver was far, FAR worse than what happened in Atl. Riots happen for a multitude of reason: race, injustice, etc. Hockey? Only in Vancouver.
Twice.
And on a DISGUSTING scale.
2. That was
15 YEARS AGO. You would think that people would adapt eventually to stupidity. That this kind of crap would no longer be an issue ten years into the 21st century.
Apparently, Vancouverites don't count. As they rioted for hockey in 94. And they did so again in 2011. And - like reports have already stated - they were going to riot win or lose.
Seeing 30-100 people jump a single man because he was standing up for the city makes me sick - as it should make you sick as well.
This was by no means a few people. This was THOUSANDS of Canadian cowards that decided they wanted to revert your country back to the Stone Age.
You'll get over it, I'm sure. But expect the Canucks(and the city) to have a black eye over it for quite some time.
For Christ' sake there were reports of police officers being bitten!!! Just like the Canucks' hero, Burrows! Hahahahahahahahaha!
