Cannucks gone wild!

What's with all the nonsense/car flippin'/lootin' following the Bruins win? I thought Canada was all anti violence/pro donut? At least that's what Mike Moore's movie showed. Perhaps, just perhaps, there is a legitimate reason why people have a *strange* desire to protect themselves...

"I was the last one left after the nuclear holocaust, eh. The whole world had been destroyed, like U.S. blew up Russia and Russia blew up U.S. Fortunately, I had been offworld at the time. There wasn't much to do. All the bowling alleys had been wrecked. So's I spent most of my time looking for beer. " -Bob MacKenzie

it's pretty insane, hey? everyone has theories on why this particular incident occurred but when you look at vancouver's recent history--riot after canucks lost the stanley cup final in '94, riot after a cancelled guns n' roses concert in '02 (i was there for that one), and now this--i think it's pretty clear that the it's not a one-off event. the region has a tendency towards massive and violent gatherings. i was talking about this riot for the last few weeks because there was so much hype and excitement around the stanley cup finals that it seemed inevitable. the funny thing is that not that many people actually care about hockey, it's just that when a local team is doing well it's an excuse for everyone to go out and get drunk and rowdy under the claim that they're showing support. honestly though, those people don't care, they're just a bunch of drunk clowns who want to party. and they're not rioting because they're disappointed their team lost, they're rioting because they're a bunch of drunk clowns who got all fired up from the mob mentality.

top secret though: rumour has it that boardmember toughtercel was one of the instigators of the whole thing. lit his tercel on fire and everything!

let me take the opportunity here to say that i don't give a gosh darn about hockey. except the hartford whalers, i always liked them cuz they had a cool logo.

Maybe this would explain it?

12 More Signs That Society Is Collapsing


June 16, 2011 "Economic Collapse Blog" --- What we are now witnessing is the slow motion unraveling of America. Our economy is dying, the American people have lost faith in the government and in almost all of our other major institutions, and our society is collapsing. Most Americans don't understand why all of this is happening, but most of them do realize that something has fundamentally changed. Earlier this year, McDonald's held a "National Hiring Day" and a million Americans showed up to apply for jobs. Only 62,000 of them were hired. That means only 6.2% of the applicants got jobs. So what are we supposed to tell the 93.8% that didn't get hired? Are they supposed to have any hope for the future when they can't even get a minimum wage job at McDonald's? When I was a teenager, I went over to McDonald's one day, filled out an application and was instantly hired. My, how things have changed. Now we have millions upon millions of young people that are staring directly into a very bleak future. The level of frustration in this country is rising to frightening levels and large numbers of people are already showing that they will stoop to anything in order to survive.

In a recent article entitled "18 Signs The Collapse Of Society Is Accelerating" I focused primarily on the chaos that has been erupting in many of our urban areas. But the truth is that, as you will see below, there are signs that society is collapsing coming out of very rural areas as well. This phenomenon cannot just be pinned down to one area of the country or to one group of people. From coast to coast people are already starting to lose it and the economic collapse has only just begun.

The cold, hard reality of the matter is that what we are experiencing right now is rip-roaring prosperity compared to what is coming down the road.

So if people will behave this wildly now, what is our society going to look like someday when there are millions of Americans that have not had anything to eat for several days?

That is something to think about.

History has shown us that when people are really, really hungry they will do just about anything.

But right now we are not even close to that point and yet people all across America are going crazy.
