yes. individual volunteers just showed up this morning cleaning the mess that was left behind from the riot yesterday. this is not pre organized event at all. Vancouver people felt like it is up to them self to clean up their own street.

we love our city vary much. and we suspect that those trouble makers are mostly from cities around vancouver. that's why they don't care.

And now some real community minded individuals getting out there - wonderful contrast... http://www.flickr.com//photos/ma…

- Well, they wouldn't care about that in Vancouver. Maybe USA news outlets should focus on Boston?Jaline

- and I didn't mention Canada vs. USA... I hate 99% of all american hockey teams :)PonyBoy

Seems like people on their way to work just stopped and decided to help, on top of people just went there to clean up.

Oh for fucks sake, what do you expect if 100k people are pissed off and drunk ? It's naive to think that anything else would occur.
In the grander scheme of things:
Some cars were burned out/destroyed : Stimulates the auto industry.
Some windows were broken : Stimulates the local glass installer companies
Some Police worked extra hours : Spending their overtime in local stores, etc.Overall, there is never a net gain or loss. Every 'loss' is someone else's gain, somewhere - there isn't black hole, money just goes round and round.
Personally, I find shots of people standing on top of burning cars liberating - if only we could direct that passion into real causes like being fucked up the ass and round the corner by the banks then we might get shit done.- uh ya... I live here and would have to say this just sucks. Nothing to be gained here at all.aldebaran
- Everyone expected this actually. a la 1994JSK
- It was expected. But obviously it'd be nice if people could be a bit more civil. Some cities are better than others at this.Jaline
- yup. this pales in comparison to 94brandelec
- Actually, it'll be a loss as I'll have to pay for some of this crap in my taxes.t_rock

We've had this 'sport + booze = trouble' mentality in the UK for ages. It's just not cricket! I remember when Arsenal WON the triple and went on a rampage in North London - fighting with anyone that got in their way, burning cars etc. Madness!
At least there's a little lovin' in the shot above :)
