I hope the police find this gentleman:
The streets of Vancouver erupted into riots last night after the Vancouver Canucks lost the Stanley Cup to the Boston Bruins. My sister had to drive through the city after the game, and she says it was scary. Judging from these photos, I can see what she means. Idiots.
On top of the inherent criminality of the riots, it is a pity that they overshadow the night’s positive news: the Stanley Cup was won by the most deserving team. Congratulations to the Boston Bruins!

This has been quite a shock to many of us in the USA who are accustomed to think of Canadians as better behaved than our urban crowds who gather to express themselves on such occasions.

So it was reported in the US as well? I wasn’t sure if that would be the case. I guess now we know what it takes to get the world’s attention.

Oh, most definitely. I noticed on Facebook several people in U.S. cities that have experienced this sort of thing writing things like “Dear Vancouver, so nice of you to take the spotlight off us…” etc.
Anything to this, I wonder?: http://www.vancouversun.com/news/Vancouver+mayor+police+chief+blame+Stanley+riot+anarchists/4958411/story.html

You got your wish! CBC’s National did a story on him 17-Jun.

The picture above was on the front page of the Toronto Star today, in connection with a story about friends and relations turning people in based on published photos.
