These Olympics are so ~dramatic already. We've already had a death, a "this is why we can't have nice things", Johnny Weir...

man just let the olympics be great

Personally, I support the protests - not this one in particular as I don't condone violence, but in general, I feel like they have good reason to do so. However much I enjoy the Olympics in the abstract, the BC government has really fucked this up and people have every right to be angry.

being angry, and smashing windows and mailboxes and injuring bystanders are two completely different things

mouseling February 13 2010, 20:55:37 UTC

I completely agree, which is why I said that I don't condone this particular protest.

word. i get why their angry, but this isn't they should be dealing with it.

As much as I don't agree with violent protesting, I do think the people of Vancouver are fairly justified in their anger, but this is definitely not the best way to go about it.

Also OP, could you perhaps include the entire article when you post something like this? And some of what you posted doesn't seem to exist in the source.

lyssmich February 13 2010, 21:54:53 UTC

At the time of posting that was the entire article. I just copied and pasted everything. If it's been changed since, I haven't been back to notice.

womaninthepark February 13 2010, 22:10:16 UTC

Ah okay.
Yeah I was wondering what was going on, it seemed odd that entire sections were missing/changed from the source.

lyssmich February 13 2010, 22:14:12 UTC

The first article was when it was still going on. I added the update at the bottom.
