Maybe they have been felling left out of that portion of "American exceptionalism"

All of those pictures plus face recognition software and Facebook's databases are going to lead to a lot of arrests. I'll never understand why people think that's a good idea.

They're just imitating the Mother Country :P

The rioters were anarchists that donned jersey's to blame in on the Hockey fans. Pretty slick. It's all over the newspapers.

:devil

Why is this in the sports section? Wide range Canadian stupidity is not limited to sports.

Don't get me started on this. It's absolutely disgraceful how they got on. They certainly didn't deserve the cup. Bravo Zulu Boston, you guys were the class act all along.

That being said, not all people in Vancouver are douchebags. Most are pretty cool. Unfortunately it only takes a small percentage of people in a large crowd to get things going. Couple that with no way to get out of the mess (buses and trains were shut down and the crowd was cordoned off) and the cops were way in the back. Personally I think whoever organized the setup for over 100k people to gather and get drunk over a highly charged event should be also held accountable.

We do not need your Canadian excuses! this all purely the result of that worst of Canadian traits "tolerance".
this is how your people repay you when you give them all of that free health care, education, a stable economy and worst of all treat homosexuals as equal citizens.
I mean when you can get clean drinkable water right out of the kitchen tap your just leading yourself down the path of economic ruin and chaos that leads to this kind of behavior.

Hmmm, good point. Well, at least we have Steve Harper who's ready to emulate everything George W. Bush has done. =B

True, but he will never be the master of the spoken language like George.

One thing GWB has that Steve Harper will NEVER have....a pulse...or a sense of humor =P.
