Downtown Vancouver has descended into chaos after the Canucks’ devastating loss to the Boston Bruins in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

Smoke can still be seen hanging over downtown Vancouver after an overturned car went up in flames in front of the Canada Post building. There was also a small explosion at the site of the car fire.

Fans burned their jerseys in the streets after the loss, with riot police confronting people in balaclavas. Rioters retailated by throwing bottles at officers.

Rioters waved towels and hollered at the sound of explosions and smoke bombs being thrown at the crowd by police.

A large parking garage at Richards and Georgia has been ambushed by rioters, and cars on multiple levels are ablaze.

But don't sweat it 'cause they don't have guns or anything so nothing really bad can happen.

In a doomsday scenario, hippies will be among the first casualties. So not everything about doomsday will be bad.

And if anyone gets hurt they have free healthcare.

And Boston remains peaceful?  Whodathunkit?!

 :P

Did you happen to catch the latest stat junky lines?  One is the one about Boston having to close out three straight playoff series with a game 7 clincher, the other which is in the oddball category is Boston is only the third team to win a game 7 on the road to win a championship of the major sports having a 7 game series format that sports black and gold uni's, the other two being the Penguins and the Pirates.

Heh, just flipped to Drudge...

A "Culture Watch" event just isn't complete without the ever available monkey with the cell phone stuck out.

The ultimate insults in the comments.  Comparing Canadians to the kind of trash in America that burns down their cities.

I looked at the pictures at the link, and it doesn't look like a "small group of troublemakers" to me.  ::facepalm::

We are so far past and beyond the “long train of abuses and usurpations” that the Colonists and Founders experienced and which necessitated the Revolutionary War that they aren’t even visible in the rear-view mirror.

That's one way of putting an end to a branch of the gene pool that should end.  ::thumbsup::
