If you think Canadians are polite, you’ve clearly never met them in the hockey rink

When the bruins won the cup in 2011 Vancouver literally rioted

Conversely Boston was also a poo poo show and that was the most cops I've seen since the marathon bomber hunt (I was at the garden)- however i don't remember any stabbings

Nearly 150 people were injured during the incident, including four stabbings.[1] On the night of the riot, nearly 100 arrests were made by the Vancouver police, including 85 for breach of peace, eight for public intoxication, and only eight for criminal code offenses such as assault and theft. [6] In 2015, four years after the riot, police finished their investigation and recommended the final charges against two suspects, bringing the total to 887 charges against 301 people.[7] The riot did an estimated $4 million in damage, with an additional $5 million being spent on additional staffing costs for prosecuting the rioters

You can't pull rank on murder.

gently caress, I was in Victoria when that happened and on shift. Nowhere near, but also close by in a way so it was messed up watching it.

I remember the water polo player in high school who was identified, and apologized on TV. He stuffed rags in a police car gas tank and lit it up.

I'm as annoying as the high-pitched whine of my motorcycle, desperately compensating for the lack of substance in my life.

With about twelve minutes left in 2011, I calmly got up and walked downstairs of my buddies house and shot pool by myself.

About a half hour later someone came down and told me to turn the TV on. I did, and it was helicopter footage of downtown Vancouver on fire.

I was on the island, in Nanaimo. When Canucks fans get painted with the lol riot poo poo, it kind of bugs me. We were all just very quiet and depressed over here.

That being said, I live in Victoria now and technically we're in the States if you don't count imaginary ocean lines. I've only been as far north as Fort St John and it's...kinda sad.
