Libya, Egypt, Iraq...


...Vancouver!?!...WTF

over a hockey game? (reports of the instigators coming from out of town specifically to start something - doesn't change the fact that a whole bunch of locals decided to join-in)

those who stayed "to document" - once the police asked you to leave, you should have gone. The entire area was under surveillance, and all the extra bodies were just getting in the way.

it sucks that the Canucks lost (and i understand they didn't play so great in the game), still... sad day for all

photos from the day.



heading downtown





woo-hoo, go canucks!





nice costumes





canada place crowd





wooo hoooo flags





more fans





big screen





3rd goal... not going so well





unhappy kali





go team canada!?





party balloons





watching intently





photo-opportunities





more flags





go-canucks-go





even more flags...






I'm guessing this is the least interesting shot he got during the evenings events...





fans aren't happy... at least they're not aggressive





they finally shut-down the road (after busses had troubles getting through...)





game over - heading home



drunken idiot kids start a few fights at the seabus station... vibe is tense... glad I'm heading over the inlet...


ummm... what is that?





happy Kali - de-celebratory drinks at Raglans on the north shore





ummmm, what is going on down there?





well... bugger





Weekly WTF





more dark smoke





another view from the north-shore





enough of the sadness - happy/pretty sunset-shot of the lonsdale quay sign.





full-moon, no excuse





get home - turn on the news





ok...? I don't think he was there to watch the hockey!





riot-police out in force





why? why? why?





really?





just... go... home...






part of the problem; get out of town so the police can re-gain control.





Weekly WTF #2 - several cars?





it's been more than 3 hrs...

Well done to all the emergency-services. Thanks for keeping people safe, sorry that you had to do it.

That's all I'm going to say on the matter.

'till next time

Ian
