A riot started in the streets of Vancouver, B.C. following the Vancouver Canucks’ loss to the Boston Bruins in Game seven of the Stanley Cup finals… which was actually a good sportsmanship gesture, since Canada upped its douchebag factor to match Boston’s? Sports: Bridging the cultural divide!

Are Vancouver cops to pussified to bust a few caps in those arseholes heads?
Listening to the BBC this morning, it sounds like the cops were trying a method they thought would work after the last time the Canucks lost a game 7 stanley cup in the 90′s called “meet and greet” where the cops kept eye contact and met people as they left. This… did not work.
Did the rioters actually attend the game or were they the typical anarcho-rent-a-mob?
Rent-a-mob. These are the same people who wanted to start the same kind of hooplah at the olympics.
Do the cops ever shoot? Or are they like Barney Fife–one bullet.
If the cops started shooting idiots, they’d never stop. And since cops are idiots in the first place, we don’t need to give them more reasons to shoot.
“cops are idiots in the first place” Well, hello, there, pot.
Hello, American aka moron.
Yes, you’ve surely proven your intellectual superiority…
Bye.
Doesn’t take much to impress a dumberican, does it?
It takes one to know one, Agent–I mean, Zartab.
No I don’t think you have to be a dumberican to know Americans are dumb. I’m pretty sure there’s a worldwide consensus Americans are retarded.
Someone should tell the Brits, the Aussies, the Kiwis, the Japanese, the Germans, the Italians, the Spanish, the Ukrainians, the Saudis, the Canadians,……….
Just this week Dumberican defence secretary was whining about how Dumberica’s friends weren’t doing anything.
http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Foreign-Policy/2011/0610/Gates-NATO-s-retreat-from-combat-assignments-unacceptable
Awww, poor dumberican has no fwiends.
I’m American, and I qualify for MENSA (the only reason I’m not a member is because I can’t pay the membership fee).
Just because Gates disagrees with what our allied nations are doing with their military doesn’t mean we are no longer “friends”.
Awww, whiny dumbericans are now poor as well.
Too many of America’s friends are Scumbag Steve’s.
More American whine. I’m going to look for some bitter chocolate.
Zartab, your comments are too easy to masturbate to. I need something with a little more substance and thought. kthnxwank.
This just in, the price of troll food has skyrocketed, as the feeding continues…
“Awww, whiny dumbericans are now poor as well.”
The US has the highest average income out of any major industrialized nation.
I said the same thing about MENSA – no way was I putting out all that money on some pedigree that means something only to the people who DO pay it.
Getting into mensa isn’t that hard, unless my understanding of IQ is flawed. If I can score 147, I’m sure other people can too.
Average lifespan of hippie riot in Texas: 72 seconds.
Hippies don’t have to riot in Texas, because they’ve already settled in Austin and are slowly taking over the state.
Haha. Texas has confined its hippie outbreak to Austin. The rest of the state is fine.
They will be assimilated.
Or graduate and get jobs.
Resistance is futile.
Unless you happen to be Captain of the Enterprise…
Average IQ of a dumberican: 17
That’s statistically improbable, Zartab.
You need 37 to breathe or are my sources wrong?
You must be Nailin’s litter mate.
Awww, did I hurt the dumbericans’ feelings. :’(
Replying to your own post hurt my feelings.
Who are you talking to, Zartab?
Both of you of course, that’s why I replied to myself. That’s also why I used dumbericans’ (plural) instead of dumberican’s.
To paraphrase my favorite American president, is our dumbericans learning?
I was hoping for names, Zartab. You replied to your own comment, which left me unsure as to who you were insulting now.
And “Who” can–as it did in my question–refer to more than one person.
Not all Americans are stupid, like not all Canadians are quote unquote pussies and all Germans are Nazis. Generalizing any group of people based on the actions of a few just shows how short sighted and stupid you are. I’m not saying there aren’t stupid Americans, we got that reputation for a reason, but we all aren’t.
Honestly, it was people like you, who judge everyone based on their own limited experiences and prejudices and who don’t have a problem shooting off their mouth without thinking, that garnered the ‘Oh man Americans are f***ing retarded!!!!!!!!!!’ reputation we have.
I find that in general Americans are stupid. There is some truth to stereotypes.
I also think dumbericans are fat, obnoxious and arrogant. Oh and getting poorer by the day.
Troll, troll, troll your gloat …
They have a cave troll.
You mean Obama didn’t succeed in convincing the entire world to love us? Oh noes!
So that’s why you elected him?
Typical dumberican.
Yes, I elected him all by myself. That’s how it works here in dumberica.
Poor bats.
And there’s also a running stereotype among educated, intelligent people that when people insult Americans they usually possess the traits they are criticizing but in greater degrees.
Only really, really stupid and gullible people think the average American is peculiarly stupid.
Quick, Canada is getting negative attention. Start talking about the US instead.
Dumb Canadian.
nope. diffferent. rent-a-mob aka young drunk hockey fans that mostly come from the suburbs.
not the same as the olympics guys. and definitely not anarchists. just cause Don Cherry says it was doesn’t make it so. He’s a wackjob when he talks about hockey, so him talking about politics is just idiocy.
C’mon guys, get some sense.
@ definitely not anarchists
Riiiight.
Roving bands of anarchists and troublemakers bent on havoc set fires, broke windows and whipped up booze-fuelled mobs to create the worst riot in Vancouver’s history, Mayor Gregor Robertson said Thursday.
Read more: http://www.vancouversun.com/news/Vancouver+mayor+police+chief+blame+Stanley+riot+anarchists/4958411/story.html#ixzz1PYNvn5fb
sounds like scapegoating to me.
if you look up pictures of the rioters, and there are tons and tons of them… they don’t look anything like, nor act anything like the ones from the G8 or the Olympics. Friends that were in the area saw nothing of the sort. But somehow these same anarchists are at fault. Fair enough, if the mayor said it, it must be true.

Rent a mob for sure
It’s not a matter of courage, Agent. It’s a matter of accounting. Bullets cost money.
You’re right. The cops don’t have to pay for the damage done by the hippies.
They do have to fill out a LOT of paperwork if they discharge their gun in the line of duty, especially if a civilian is struck by a bullet.
@ especially if a civilian is struck by a bullet.
You do realize that striking a rioter is the objective…don’t you?
Why do you call all rioters “hippies”?
I thought that terms was dated back to circa 1970′s Anti-Establishment Free-Love type folks…
Unless… of course… you’re just a very old very bitter old man who can’t let go of old wounds or accept that the world has been changing while you’ve been watching Archie Bunker Re-Runs…?
Agent’s like a little kid who has just learned a new word.
@ Why do you call all rioters “hippies”?
I stereotype. It’s faster.
Then stereotype correctly.
The kindergardener tries to correct the professor. The professor smiles back.
The professor in this case would be me, Agent.
*snort*
Root beer all over keyboard.
i’ll wholeheartedly agree with emccoy’s assessment there. i know professors, and you sir, barely come off as smart as a kindergartener.
Olbermann FAIL
I don’t even know what that means. I’ve never watched the guy. Never cared much for I-think-I-am-smarter-than-thou-when-they-really-aren’t-types.
I’m especially referring to you there. I don’t like you because you’re posts show the pointless dribble that comes out when people use the internet to make themselves feel better about their inadequacies. Yet, they don’t realize that the other people reading their posts are laughing at how weak they come off. If they posted things that added to the discussion, instead of buttloads of snark, then maybe they could be seen as ligit.
Instead your posts are generally a waste of space and frankly, I don’t like you and your snarky trolling. It’s a shame that when I skim down the forum I have to breeze past a ton of posts with your name on it.
For the love of god, go outside and get some sun.
BlackPhag, you must feel soooo special for milking three paragraphs from your butthurt churlishness. Spare me your penetrating juco analysis and dorm room psychobabble. Limp back to the halfway house and resume thew fetal position. It’s nine long hours ’til Wapner.
And if you disagree with me, you SIR are a racist bigoted homophobe.
Kindergartener*
Even the children who attend Kindergarten know how to spell it.
I think I’ll move to Canada, thanks.
Bunch of innocent bystanders were shot, nevermind the main suspect.
Fxxk that noise.
Now that’s what the Vancouver Police should have done.
Okay, are you seriously telling me that shooting people is an effective way to stop a riot?!!
Oh you american!
Meh Americans are pussies. They had to pay the Iraqi insurgents not to attack them and now they’re negotiating with the ‘good’ Taliban. Sissy b!tches got their asses handed to them by a bunch of boy raping tribals.
I will personally find and slap whoever takes this bait…
Looks like you did
Let ‘em talk to themselves with this stupidity.
No, notice I addressed that everyone BUT him…
Bwa ha ha! Technicality win.
Ok, it’s just funnier to see them talking to themselves and no replies at all. http://youtu.be/oJYYJY81lLo
By the way, the poop-steak link is DISGUSTING. I wanted to reply to one of the wankers, but didn’t deign to register just for that. (Someone used the poop-meat to plug vegetarianism…but technically that isn’t meat anyway. So it’s a double fail – I wanted to say go ahead, keep eating vegetarian sh!t and the rest of us will enjoy delicious cows and pigs.)
Oh, come on, everyone loves poop-steaks.
I’m trying not to think about it too deeply
Though there’s one “diet” charlatan (she’s not a doctor and doesn’t know what she’s talking about) in England who had one of her subjects eat some brownies – special recipe, no butter, no eggs, no sugar, no flour and no chocolate. SO WHAT THE HELL IS IN THEM AND WHY IS SHE CALLING THEM BROWNIES?
My first thought was that I could sh!t on a plate and call it brownies too, but I wouldn’t expect anyone to eat it. So now I have a link to put with the observation lol
Only if the riot guns and fire hoses and Ninjas don’t work. When the police stepped down at Florence and Normandy they condemned a lot of people to death and dismemberment and property destruction.
The scoops are on their way
Main character in Soylent greem
ummm… police shootings cause more riots than they ever stop. wtf???
Yeah, they should definitely sit back and do nothing. Nothing wrong with a little healthy rioting.
BlackPhag is halfway through his community college Intro to Criminal Justice Class…and his eyes have been opened!
Naw, I’m 15 years out of college and 9 years out of the military. I don’t need to go back.
Have fun at your militia meeting learning how to be fat and shoot your AR15s at pretend threats of race war. I’m just going to make that assumption about you from your posts. I figure that logic is familiar to you, but somehow that makes me a racist bigoted homophobe?
Deduction FAIL. You’re almost 180 out in your “assessment.”
Agent Age would love for there to be a race war, but if it actually happened, he’d probably apply for a deferment.
then maybe you get my point. your deduction FAILing “assessments” of me have been 180 out as well just the same.
if not, I’ll assume you’ll just carry on with your snarkyness
*Then
*Your
*If
what are you asking of me? yes, this is what i wrote. sorry i forgot your uppercases. but really, that is really what you want to post about?
apologies if that bugs you, but i am more intrigued and interested in the content of the posts even though they are on a forum that seems to me is pretty informal and pretty much like having a playground argument with kids.
I will say that, when the ‘let’s tackle this reasonably’ measures failed, the riot police just started firing the tear gas and cracking down on the protesters.
And the last time this happened, the police was criticised for being too harsh on the rioters, which leads to an interesting ‘damned if you do, damned if you don’t’ sort of thing.
I’m just saying that if you look at past riots, many were the reaction to police shootings. Putting shots into civilians doesn’t necessarily pacify the rioters.
If a bunch of right-wingers had a protest that turned into a riot and someone got shot, I doubt agent would say “fair’s fair”
Wrong again. At least you’re consistent!
that’s not even a reply. that’s just like a kid responding “I know you are but what am I”
carry on with the snarkyness
Use capitals. Replace the y with an i to add “ness”. Thank you.
“Just the place for a snark! I have said it twice:
That alone should encourage the crew.
Just the place for a snark! I have said it thrice:
What I tell you three times is true.”
naw, I’m good. i found enough uses on google and elsewhere of the word “snarkyness” to find that it doesn’t matter.
and really, you have a problem with a lack of using capital letters on a forum that is from the “i can has cheezburger” network, in response to posts that amount to nothing but pre-teeny snideness? really?
sorry if that bugs you so much, but lack of decent content in posts is more of an issue on here than my care for someone’s OCD.
You just kept saying the same thing, with the same errors. It was annoying.
Too hard to capitalize the beginning of sentences? We’re not doing the kitties over here. (See, not kittys.) If, you know, you’re going to be correcting people, that is. It just detracts from credibility after a while. Everyone makes typos or a mistake, and everyone loosens their prose for casual conversation, but deliberately shoddy typing is a pet peeve (yes, I’ve been typing professionally for at least 30 years, so pardon me for being a bit of a PITA.)
i hear ya. And ya, there is a bit of deliberateness typing that way when someone else is being a bit nit-picky.
But really, when responding to agent’s comments, I am not worried about my posts being visually credible.
Out of the gate, I know I’m already steps ahead. Yet, if I went back and corrected his ignorant or unintelligent posts or responded to snide comments, I would never get off of here. So I say “meh” and let the kid argue with himself.
Have at it then. I won’t do another grammar nazi post anyway. These were plenty.
kittehs* Anniee.
Just saying.
It’s actually kind of cute that you googled snarkiness. Snark isn’t an actual word (yet), but the rule on “ness” with y words is pretty consistent – other people making the same mistake doesn’t make it correct, fake or not.
Here you are – lots of “snarkiness”. http://www.google.com/search?q=snarkiness&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
What? Shoot rightwingers? No! In America only rightwingers are allowed to shoot others. If that ever changes the teabaggers will be screaming for gun control.
Too easy.
1 Person died in that shooting, which killed a criminal. Overzealous police, yes. Completely random act of violence, no.
4 people were stabbed and 3 people were killed in the Vancouver riots… over a game, including someone who was killed just because he was a Boston fan.
I think I’ll stay in the US, especially in my state that has a lower murder rate than the Canadian national average.
No deaths.
http://bostonsportsdesk.wordpress.com/2011/06/16/three-confirmed-dead-tonight/
where did you get that information? I live in downtown vancouver. Considering how relatively quiet it is (compared to most north american cities it’s size), I think we would have heard about 3 deaths.
Wow… that last shot is awesome.
And here in Philly, sports riots only entail drunk guys setting fires in the streets and trying to jump over their bonfires. Vancouver seems to have a much better… um… grip on their testosterone. *blushes*
As long as the chick is conscious or not trying to grip him with her left arm to throw him off. If so, that is the gosh darned cutest couple since the one caught on film getting it on in the Woodstock film.
Ohhh…. she conscious alright.
And since she has her foot between his knees, it be really easy for her to put her knee in there and ball the guy if she weren’t absolutely delighted to be there.
Gosh… isn’t blissful youth wonderful?
*snifs & wipes away a sentimental tear*
In sixteen years their little bastard offspring will be jumping on cop cars…when the Canucks finally return to the Stanley Cup Finals.
haha too funny …. being from Vancouver this is the ONE redeeming image i have seen thusfar! Otherwise i am embarrassed by what this raging mob did as it was SO UN-Canadian.
well i guess it isn’t really … if you count 1994 and the G20 conference in Toronto last year … hmmm….
as for the cops … i think the POA (Plan of Action) was … “We’re outnumbered, let’s stand here and look threatening and hope that no one brings a gun out and starts shooting everyone cos if that happens we’re f*&%#ed.”
all in all, today, i am truly embarrassed to live in the same city as those sheepish losers, i am, i am.
You don’t live in the same city, just like in 1994 most of the people who came to riot came in from Surrey. Just like every weekend it’s the bridge and tunnel suberbanites that come in to the city cause sh!t and leave, and we’re the ones who have to clean up after these sh!theads and get the tarnished reputation.

notice the location of most of the sellers.
I agree with you! Very cute, haha. It’s very unexpected and strangely peaceful compared to their surroundings.
It’s hockey. It’s entirely expected.
I’m sure alcohol was not involved.
If you really believe that, Agent, then I have some beachfront property in North Dakota you’d be interested in.
If you don’t understand sarcasm,…oh wait.
If you don’t understand the lack of emotion in text-only communication,…oh wait, you don’t.
It was pretty obvious here, though. I mean, honestly.
Yeah, definitely beyond ridiculous.
Um…you serious?? I mean, really??
Turns out the story behind it is one of those, to quote from the internet vernacular, “DAWWW” type situations.
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story/2011/06/17/vancouver-kissing-couple.html?ref=rss#.TfucF6z3-5o;facebook
We take hockey very seriously up north.
I found this whole thing to be depressing and hilarious all at the same time, because I am just that warped.
I must be warped too then. I’m just glad I live on the Island and not over there.
Yeah, you guys save your destruction for the actual teams during the games (batteries), or special appearances by celebs (Santa/snowballs).
Civilization–HA!
@ Canada upped it’s douchebag factor to match Boston’s?
WTF. Vancouver riots for every occasion. Olympics, WTO, G8.
There were riots for the Olympics?
And yeah, it is amazing to see any place out douche boston. I imagine they weren’t sober enough in boston to have a victory pyre.
Oh yeah: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/story/2010/02/13/bc-vancouver-olympic-protest.html
There’s a riot in every Olympics. Don’t just single out Vancouver like that.
And didn’t the Atlanta Games have a bombing?
Please refer back to Lil Jon’s question.
Please clarify.
Yes. One person died, I believe.
sarcasm/
But that’s TOTALLY different, ’cause it happened in the Almighty USA.
/sarcasm
And so the tangent is formed.
Yay! You’re Welcome.
Thankfully, this only happened on the first day of the event and the scope wasn’t as large as what happened last night.
Yeah. They probably would have rioted last time it snowed too if they hadn’t been so terrified of the white stuff falling from the sky.
Having seen Boston shut down by snow… I think I’ll have to agree.
WTO was in Seattle.
G8 was in Toronto.
The Olympics riot was teeny.
We only riot for hockey games apparently.
You forgot Syria and Bashar al-Assad.
But yeah, screw you Vancouver, you pussies.
While I am offended by your insult, I’ll have to say that the reasons for the rioting last night were very poor.
There is some suspicion that some of the people involved had gone downtown simply because they were hoping for an excuse to smash stuff.
Thank you for insulting me.
Good day to you.
Why aren’t you banned already?
White people problems.
How does a handful of arseholes in Vancouver up the douchebag factor on all of Canada? Well… okay, Montreal can be just as bad with the hockey riots… err…. so can Toronto…
Glad I’m a Sens fan.
Wait… damn politicans. Worse than rioters.
Why don’t we do it in the road
Why don’t we do it in the road
Why don’t we do it in the road
Why don’t we do it in the road
No one will be watching us… umm…
Riot – schmoit, there’ll be some “Punkin’ Plunkin” right there if nobody disturbs them, lol.
So much for Storied Canadian Congeniality
AND, they’re getting Atlanta’s outgoing hockey team.
P r o b l e m?!
No coverage on the thousands of Vancouverites and real Canucks fans out there today cleaning up the city they love. These thugs do not represent all of Vancouver.
Most of the rioters weren’t actually from Vancouver, but the suburbs particularly Surrey.
Win or lose there was going to be a riot, anyone who has half a brain (very rare in Vancouver, they either toasted it with BC-bud, or the mold eats at it) knew it. Also notice the “well they weren’t REAL Vancouverites” comments.
What a bunch of bull.
Whistling “Alberta Bound”
Good bye! Enjoy the weather!
Hey, hey, hey, Luongo? Yeah, hi. I heard you heckling Tim Thomas about stepping outside the paint, right, so… um, I just wanted to ask you something. You know that one goal from that guy? Yeah… I BET TIM THOMAS WOULD HAVE BLOCKED THAT!
Okay okay, that was bad, I apologize for going over my sarcasm quota. Seriously though, congrats CaSUCKS fans, you just proved that you’re even worse sore losers than the rest of the NHL fans knew you to be. Only idiots would riot after a loss, and only BABIES would boo not only the winning team, but also the officials annoucing the presentation of the Stanley Cup, and the announcers in general. Shame on you, Vancouver fans, shame on you >/!
Y’know, I think I need a purple brocade man dress now. With a matching hat…
