[complexz]

My girlfriend linked me to a facebook group full of photos of these idiots, I saved some of the crazier ones to share.

LOL

how surreal, really hope my favorite arcade is alrite.

That guy looks edited in lol

Yeah, that pic is totally fake.

Shouldn't be too hard for the po-leece to identify some of these jokers, at least if they're repeat offenders.

 

[complexz]

haha that pic isin't fake guys I seen that douche and his gay looking shirt in a few different pics.

I kinda dig it.. We can sports riot with the best of them, take that Lakers fans.

Of course I have the advantage of being a comfortable distance over here in Victoria, where the streets were dead quiet.

Can't even imagine what must be going through Luongo's head right now.

Doesn't rioting normally happen when your team WINS ???

He is prime photoshop material though.

Not in Vancouver...

They did the same shit when they lost to the Rangers back in the 90's.

Millionaires fans were probably much classier!

There is so much WTF all in this post. Its incredible.

 

[Arcademan]

Could you imagine what it would've been like if the Canucks won the Stanley Cup?!!

 

[Arcademan]

Looks photoshopped too. He's so much brighter and seems to defy gravity.

 

[Tango]

cameraman has a flash on him and he appears to be mid-stride. Looks real enough to me....

In any case, fucking opportunists. Nothing more.

It was obviously the Boston fans (in disguise). Canadians don't do this kind of stuff.

 

[Taiso]

We need to see some 'Vancouver Riots Special Edition' up in here, with wookies and added brontosaurus aliens and other distractions that completely diminish the meaning and relevance of the event.

Shame on the shit disturbers.

The people on the arena, cheering on Tim Thomas as he received his award, and then cheering "go cancucks go" after the loss shows real class

 

[LoneSage]

Shame there doesn't seem to be any looter fatalities.

edit: but this helps

 

[Zenimus]

Haha, the skinny Asian guy in the top pic with the battle cry and hockey stick is classic!

Overall though, terrible stuff. That pic of the unconscious Boston fan is sad.

 

[OrochiEddie]

this looks like a scene from a bad 90s arcade shooter. One of the innocent people you don't shoot while mowing down aliens/terrorists/ what have you. I think its the blur, makes it look like digitized characters you'd see on a Sega Saturn.

I think the shades also help give it that bad 90s look and the hands in the air like he's about to say "Don't shoot don't shoot"

 

[Magician]

Stay classy, Canada.

I was talking to a friend of mine who was (safely) in Surrey last night. She said 9 people were killed during the riots so far. It's nuts.

I just hope I have a Vancouver to visit next month and not the Vancouver ruins.

Untrue.

I've been in a sports riot, they're kind of wacky.

I hope Facebook leads to a lot of people getting cited --they never completely delete anything so all of those wall posts, updates and images will be in the servers. Thank heavens most of the people involved were idiots.

As for the purported fake photo, they're not --here's one I have from 2003:

You really can't get cited for that kind of photo, because there's no proof you did anything (vs. those ones with people hurling things, stealing things, etc).

Shame there doesn't seem to be any looter fatalities.

This video is awesome!

i knew this was going to happen, which is why i didn't go anywhere near downtown last night. especially when i saw how big the crowd was outside the cbc building.
