Sooooo, if you haven't been paying attention to the news, Canucks lost their big hockey game last night. Downtown Vancouver decided to throw a tantrum over it and set cars aflame in the streets and break into stores and start up brawls. There were police riot squads and everything.
Fortunately I live across the water from downtown, but seeing smoke in the sky from my bedroom window was really unsettling. I was actually worried for a moment that the raucous would actually migrate across the bridge to here but police got control of the situation before that. Still, just whoa. I'm really disturbed the crowd mobbed like that after a hockey game, I mean it was THE hockey game but still. Hospitals getting full up with injured people? That sounds like the kind of thing that'd happen in a natural disaster or wartime maybe, but this... ugh. Riots are not pretty.
I gotta hand it to the street cleaners though... I was watching them on the news last night after the crowd got ushered elsewhere... those things clean up the mess SUPER fast o_o
