Apparently one young gentleman was photographed stuffing his shirt into a gas tank to light a cop car on fire. He later posed for a picture, someone posted his graduation picture and he's from Calgary, with a water polo scholarship to the U of C and an Olympic hopeful.... Not anymore...

Those people were not fans. They probably did not even live in the city. They had trouble on their mind before they went there. The morons who started the riot will get caught. The CBC has their studio right where the rioters started making trouble and the whole thing has been filmed. Also, there were lots of people with their personal cameras taking shots and they gave them to the police.
We Vancouverites are not like that. This was the twisted mind work of a few.
You are more than likely correct (and I don't doubt you) but it seriously looks bad for Vancouver on the world stage. When people first heard about it they didn't know who did it, but they do associate it with Vancouver. Black marks like that never go away, regardless of who gets caught in the end. It's a bloody shame, Vancouver is a beautiful city full of wonderful people. It's a shame to see it in the media this way.

OK, doilies are finished, I will put my pinny on and make cheesecake. Just don't tell Sunshine, coz she is mean to me and wants me to leave. I will let you know when it's ready. Did I tell you I have to sell my project bike.
I need comfort food.
