standing in a small crowd outside of a vietnamese restaurant looking through the glass, watching footage of the riot on television. cheering kids in jerseys, raising their arms and cavorting in front of overturned, burning vehicles. turning around and seeing the majestic, darkening purple mountains, the beautiful summer sunset, marred by thick

yep, all those things.
Sad and embarassing day for Vancouver. All the things I have to say about it have already been said.

the last two lines say a lot....and hopefully reflect far more of the ideals, the ethics and the morals of the people of vancouver than the few idiots who wasted everyone's time causing the unnecessary damage.
and those people who chose to come out and help clean up and support everyone else....i hope that the news relays their story far louder than the ones about the riots....

did you hear about the cleanup where you are? i know the riot was national news. there was a riot in boston, too, though.

The sad thing is, I honestly feel there were jerks out there waiting to riot no matter the outcome. Hockey was just a "convenient" excuse.
