Guys came into the downtown core with googles, fire starters, weapons and other stuff. This was planned. There were people with signs saying "Riot 2011" on it.
These were NOT Canuck fans. As the riot started that's when the drunken idiots get involved so I don't completely blame those losers. It's a black eye on the city for sure, but you know what, Vancouver came together as people to clean up the mess and speak out for the fact that that was not Vancouver that the world saw rioting.

Even if the rioters didn't riot...the cops were still gonna bust skulls.
At least the rioters gave them a reason to do it.
