The Tyee – A Social Media Riot Made for TV

I wasn't anywhere near downtown Vancouver after the Canucks game, but I passed through the area before the game. It seemed like some people were more drunk and out of control than with the other games.
This article has the best take on the 2011 Stanley Cup Riot that I've seen so far. I'll join the host of Vancouverites and Canucks fan in condemning the destructive acts on our streets last night.
