Vancouver riot Stanley Cup 1994 Canucks

[charlieliberal]

this seems like yesterday, bunch of hooligans rioted in 1994 for the Stanley Cup in Vancouver, breaking windows and causing all sorts of problems looting and rioting, police had a big problem on their hands that was unexpected



I think we have learned some lessons from that unfortunate riot event here now 17 years later in 2011 and if the Canucks win or lose we won't see any riot

I sincerely hope you are correct.

People who have photos should post hi res versions all over the net to help identify and prosecute these losers.

People who have photos should email them directly to robbery@vpd.ca. posting them on the internet doesn't help the police. They need to have them emailed to them with time and location if possible. Really sad what happened.

kudos to this guy, big thumbs down to the idiot that thinks he is honorable in protecting his goof friend the vandal

According to the news it is helping. People are posting them on facebook and more arrests are expected as a result. Never underestimate the power of social media. It's already brought at least one regime down.

Who are these morons that are doing this?  Are they even from around here, or some out-of-towners causing sh-?

You people do realize that these business are going to have to recoup their losses somehow, and it ain't going to be by lowering their prices any time soon.  Even if they are covered by insurance, their premiums will go up because of it.  Nice going jerks!

What a bunch of effin loosers!

I hope they do catch you all.  You'll get a criminal record to haunt you for the rest of your stinking life and you'll never be allowed to visit any other countries including the USA.

look at this stupid girl, I hope she never has kids to pass on her brainless genes to the next generation

I read somewhere that they found out who this guy is and it turns out his father is a prominent surgeon in this city, I'm sure he is proud

If you're referring to the one taunting the dog, and not the one holding the camera then I completely agree with you.

I'm sure his family is very proud of him.  Any word on what the name is?

It looks like this could be a case of mistaken identity.  Not sure though.

"VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - Between smart phones, cameras, and news crews, there's no shortage of crystal clear images and video from the riot.

Vancouver Police are hoping they will lead to convictions for those who took part in the destruction, and one lawyer says that evidence will stand.

News1130 legal analyst Michael Shapray says once police know who submitted the photos, and are certain about the identity of the people in them, prosecution is straight forward. "A still picture is obviously much more difficult than a video, because still pictures can be taken out of context. Video evidence can be very strong. I think it will make prosecution of people doing things captured on video very easy."

He says the hooligans could be nailed with a variety of offences: from mischief, theft, robbery, and break and enter, to assault and obstruction of justice.

He warns those who spurred the thugs on are also subject to charges. "People there cheering vandals on and promoting their activities could theoretically be charged as a party of the offence through the 'aiding and abetting' provisions of the criminal code."

He notes even someone who might have taken a single kick at an overturned car can be charged."

Same here, because it would suck to be an innocent guy getting all this ridicule for something he didn't even do if it wasn't him.
