Yeah i know, i find this entire discussion hilarious.
it is almost as if game 7 in the Stanley cup finals for the Canucks was a regional wide event, hence many people from outside of the city would be at the primary observation point.
As I said before, if there was a massive riot at the Merritt Mountain music festival I am willing to be that the majority of such participants would not be from Merritt
The same thing would have been true if the primary viewing centre for the Canucks game was in Maple Ridge, or Richmond, the majority of the rioters would not have been from these communities, and then we could have blamed all the rowdues from Vancouver
It really is ignorant to believe that those from other communities Vancouver are more prone to riot than those from Vancouver, I laugh especially hard to those who even extend that believe to a sudden cultural shift across boundary, as if those in Joyce and Nanaimo are so different than those in Brentwood and Metrotown,
Some of the biggest douche bags I know live in Yaletown for the record, and I would not be surprised at all if they participated in the riots.
