It got way the f*** out of control. Seriously, the NHL needs to think twice... if everytime the 'Nucks lose in the Stanley Cup Final this happens, how can you allow them to participate in the Stanley Cup Final? I know, that's a bit out there, but what the f***. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Rock will correct me but I thought that there were several at Ohio State a few years after that. Indiana got tear gassed in 2002 after losing in the NCAA BBall championships (I was in my room). Purdue had a tear gassing event after a football game the year before that which caught a few of my friends. The Lakers fans were burning stuff in the streets after their 09 win, but no one was hurt. I'm still amazed that the crowd walked right past a Staples and no one yelled anything about breaking up the "Staples Center". If we're talking about people getting hurt, the start of this season at the Giants v. Dodgers game wasn't pleasant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember they burned a few couches the last time they lost to Michigan 7 years ago, but not sure. I don't recall something this violent though in any sport.

I'm not sure about quite "This" violent any time recently...because usually the police here break out the tear gas first. 1992 Chicago Bulls was a mess. Cars overturned and burning on Rush st.

Kyyle23 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ Jun 16, 2011 -> 12:07 PM) arrest me please. Could this be used in court? I would think so. http://todmaffin.visibli.com/share/7y9AoY In Carbondale during the 2000 Halloween riots the police used videotape by the local tv stations as well as whatever video was submitted to them by store owners and citizens to identify the kids breaking windows/stealing/burning things etc. Im sure if they really wanted to they could use a lot of this stuff to bust people, just depends if they want to do the legwork to find them.

Kalapse Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 One of the problems I have with yesterday's riots is that it was 100% premeditated. I was watching the live coverage last night on CTV and a reporter noted that some of the fans she talked to before the game were looking forward to recreating the '94 Vancouver riots if the Canucks lost. It only lends credence to Steve's comments, the police were "ready" for rioting, not nearly as prepared as they needed to be but they were well aware that some s*** was going to go down if the Canucks lost, there was plenty of buzz before the game even began. It's not totally out there to say Vancouver can not be trusted, they seem to be the rioting type and now it's becoming a tradition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFan1 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 16, 2011 -> 10:46 PM) Ugh, hard to watch sucker punch. Ya, it was a sucker-punch, but the guy that got knocked out was also one of the guys who was destroying s***. The guy in the all-black was trying to stop a bunch of people from demolishing an overturned car. There's another video of the same guy doing it and saying "This is out city." Still, he's at fault too, for throwing the first punch, but who knows, hard to judge off of a short video. A lot of people are defending the guy in the all-black.

Police chief Jim Chu said nine officers were injured, including one who required 14 stitches after being hit with a thrown brick. Chu said some officers suffered bite marks. He said 15 cars were burned, including two police cars. He called those who incited the riot "criminals and anarchists" and said officers identified some in the crowd as the same people who smashed windows and caused trouble through the same streets the day after the 2010 Winter Olympics opened. "These were people who came equipped with masks, goggles and gasoline," he said. "They had a plan." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Controlled Chaos Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 (edited) QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 16, 2011 -> 10:46 PM) Ugh, hard to watch sucker punch. This is the original dude involved and even though he's drunk as s*** he's trying to stop the rioters. So I'm guessing he was trying to stop the kid that got sucker punched from doing something stupid as well. Kid that got sucker punched most likely deserved it, but the kid that threw the punch was probably just a punk looking to hit someone. Actually I jumped this video ahead to the dude in black, but if you watch from the beginning that's where ya see they guy that got sucker punched trashing the car.

They weren't rioting, they were just stocking up on supplies and removing debris from the street. And creating new doorways by breaking windows.
