Re: Y U mad Vancouver?

LOL and then theres the people that just follow the crowd and take pictures of stab victims.

as far as im concerned if youre on the streets following the crowd, youre apart and encouraging the riot.

Re: Y U mad Vancouver?

right, and calgary is a town full of redneck hicks because for 10 days a year people get drunk dress up in cowboy gear, start fights and stab people.

if you want to let a small group of individuals define an entire city go for it.

Wait. Wut?
Your point did more to demonstrate it's exclusive to Vancouver, and Calgary can handle having 1 million Stampede visitors, with small isolated incidents.

Yep, small isolated incidents.

Proportion & scale, .. man.

Re: Y U mad Vancouver?

I think this is a much greater problem, than just vancouver. It is a much more important generational issue. People just don't have respect for other people, nor their belongings. No need to bash on Van or say that Calgary is superior.

I refuse, absolutely refuse to believe that you never made a stupid choice when you were young, and luckily weren't caught doing it (especially those who went to Post-Secondary). Now there could be an order of magnitude of difference between your mistake and looting. But there was also an order of magnitude between the envrionment you were in, and this envrionment.

Lighting a police car on fire, smashing windows, beating a fan, should equal prison time. There is no time or space, where you can construe a reality where that is acceptable. None.

What we don't need is some twat playing for Canada on an Olympic stage who was in the riot. You know full well, the second he takes to the water all we are going to hear is "#25 for Canada was convicted of lighting a police car on fire."

Stealing a teddy bear from the Bay, if you turn yourself in, and return the item, I would give them a hefty fine and let them move on with their lives. If you do not turn yourself in within a timely manner, well then I hope you get your **** destroyed.

Also this facebook page is getting out of control. It is more of a mob than the riot. With much larger consequences.

when calgary has 150,000 downtown in a 6 block radius at 1 time let me know. i've been to concerts with floor tickets and had more room to move than i did on georgia and hastings.
Vancouver has hosted hundreds of events since '94 without incident, including 10 days of the olympics with basically no incidents aside from the organized march outside the bay. if you want to be ignorant about it and not visit the city fine by me.

Re: Y U mad Vancouver?

So now, Calgary has shitty people that don't do anything.

10 days of olympics do not compare to playoffs. Not the same thing in the slightest.

Re: Y U mad Vancouver?

Calgary has shitty people just the same as Vancouver has shitty people, New York has shitty people and London has shitty people. It's shitty people that do the kinds of things that happened.
If you want to let a small handful of them define a city go for it.

Sure.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calgary_Stampede
It's a yearly thing. Starts up in 3 weeks actually.
Usually it's more of a love-fest, maybe why it slipped under your radar?

if you want to be ignorant about it and not visit the city fine by me..

I visit that city a few times each year. Love Vancouver to visit.
The Olympics were a statistical anamoly, with more foreigners & heavy policing.

Like I said before, Vancouver has a grossly disproportionate amount of classless fans compared to other North American cities. It's proven over & over again.
