Win or lose, will there be a riot after the final Stanley Cup game in Vancouver?

So I wasn't down there but had a lot of friends who were. They said that they saw people with ski masks and bottles of gasoline BEFORE the game ended. A bunch of people went down there just so they could riot, win or lose.

And it is likely people from the suburbs who did this. There are plenty of stories of people leaving their apartments to run into the street and defend businesses.

Would you be allowed to defend your home or business with force if needed? Like could a shop owner guard his store with a shotgun? Obviously he can't stand out on the street and shoot people who threaten him. But if he is inside can he protect his property if people break in and threaten him?

I dont know how screwed that guy will be, it doesnt really show him doing anything.

LOL - how dumb are people? I bet 95% of 18-35 year olds have cameras on their phones. Don't people realize that someone is going to snap your picture when you are doing these things.

The asian hockey stick guy is definitely screwed. There is video of him smashing those windows behind him.

The guy lighting the cop car on fire is also definitely screwed. I wonder why he has a backpack on, and wonder where he got those rags and the fuel... hmmm.

The best ones though are the people admitting to how awesome it was to break stuff in their facebook status. A lot even listed off all the cool stuff they stole. Take this guy for example:

Wow. There are some great pictures coming out of downtown right now. Thousands of people walking around with brooms and dustpans cleaning everything up. The broken windows are boarded up and they are now being covered with art and messages from the people doing the clean up.

Getting word that everywhere is pretty close to clean. Let's not leave anything. Let's be able to eat food off the streets tonight!

Good that the majority of people are caring citizens. Hope they round up all the shitbags and throw the book at them.
 
Browsing some Boston pictures from last night. There's a lot of kids in the street (18-28), probably some alcohol, but nothing is being destroyed.

A picture shows a line of cops rolling by on motorcycles, all their blues going, Medford, Salem, Watertown... guess they called everybody in for a show of force.
 
Why can't the mayor and other people just accept/admit that they have pricks in their city?

The hell is this "vandals" and "anarchists", just a "few bad people". Some people with covered faces, but a lot of regular looking idiots who did the deed.
