My mother is very proud, she called me after the game to check. I only lit a few cars on fire a little...

Seriously though, I watched the game at a friends place and then went home and watched the riot on TV. Stupid idiots, makes me want to puke to see drunken assholes acting like this.>> ^therealblankman:

I watched the last 2 periods from the CBC plaza! Walked home, turned on the TV and saw 2 cop cars on fire pretty much next to where I had been standing. We really ought to put up a fence around Surrey and the Fraser Valley to keep these yahoos out of our beautiful city.

Hey watch it now, don't lump me in with the yahoos from Surrey, I'm in Fort Langley and have always advocated a fence around Surrey. Besides you can't keep me out I'm a natural born citizen and have the long form birth certificate to prove it.

Seriously though what amazes me is that the assholes looting and burning cars not only didn't care about cameras, they seemed proud of their accomplishments and were mugging for the cameras. Hopefully most will regret their stupidity either through the courts, public opinion and not a few will likely find their employers unimpressed. That is if they have jobs which is probably doubtful for many.

According to his father (as quoted by The Age) she had been knocked down by riot police and he was trying to comfort her, and the photographer happened to choose that exact moment to take the shot. Both photos are consistent with this account, but it did look far creepier without any context.

So for those of you who saw that "romantic" picture of the couple kissing as a contrast to the rioting, I offer you an alternative perspective
