The VPD aided and abetted these morons in their riotous and despicable behavior. Had they taken control of the situation and nipped in in the bud before it got got of control, rather than acting like frikken meter maids in corset, things could have been different.

While I was watching the game, I was telling my wife that I heard that Vancouver is a beautiful city. They will get over it and things will be nice again.

Thousands stream into Vancouver to clean up after riot

More Images Âŧ Cleanup in downtown Vancouver following a riot after the Canucks lost the Stanley Cup Final game seven against the Boston Bruins at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, BC., on June 16, 2011.Photograph by: NICK PROCAYLO, PNGVANCOUVER -- On streets scorched by flames, littered with broken glass and studded with the blackened hulls of torched cars, an army of citizens converged Thursday morning to cleanse the wounds and set things right.
An estimated 15,000 people of all ages streamed into the heart of Vancouver as early as 5 a.m. to clean up the bloody footprints, scrub the offensive graffiti, to try to make amends for the damage cause by hooligans and looters after Wednesday night's Stanley Cup loss.
They came to share their feelings of disgust and outrage, to heal the pristine image of a city that had sparkled not just in their own hearts, but in the eyes of the world after last year's Olympics; but mostly they came because they cared.
"It's an incredible response from the people of this city," said city sanitation manager John Williams as he looked over the team of volunteer first responders.
Although it's hard to believe authorities would sanction crowds pouring into the downtown armed with brooms or sticks of any kind after the riots, the City and the VPD quickly gave their seal of approval to the Facebook group Post-Riot Clean-Up: Lets Help Vancouver.
The first volunteer arrived at 5 a.m. to support Williams and his crew, which had been on scene all night.
"There was a guy with a bag and a broom saying, 'Where do you need me?"
Another woman showed up with 40 brooms. Others appeared with Tim Hortons coffee, with muffins and granola bars for all.
Williams handed out protective gloves, pickers and tongs and was amazed to see six people drop to their knees and start picking glass from between the cracks in the sidewalk.
Twelve young people stood shoulder to shoulder scouring graffiti from the east side of the Hudson's Bay Co., beneath an overhang blackened by flames.
"This is our tornado. This is our tsunami. This is what we will do for our community," said Dani Lemon.
She and her friend Kate Leinweber worked on a piece of graffiti that said F--- Boston. They wanted the phrase gone for a very particular reason, one that was echoed by others in the crowd.
"This riot had nothing to do with hockey, it was a few people taking advantage of a situation," she said.
They wanted those words erased to send an important message about sportsmanship: "We love our Canucks, but we also can feel proud for the Bruins that they played well."
The girls had planned to spend the day creating a homemade get well card for injured Canuck Mason Raymond. Instead, they donned their rubber gloves to wish their city well.
"He'll still get a card from us, but it may be a Hallmark," said Lemon.
Crystal Granacher, who works in the shoe department at the Bay, came by to give Andrea Collins, who was scrubbing graffiti in diamond earrings and a ruffled red blouse, a hug.
They both dabbed at their tears.
Although Granacher was off shift at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, many of her co-workers were in the store when the rioting began, trapped inside and terrified as windows shattered on the first floor. She was overcome by emotion when she arrived Thursday to see hundreds of volunteers wreathed around the wreckage, and signing boarded up windows with messages of love and support.
Rhonda Listwin, a Canucks super-fan who had come up from California to stay with family in Burnaby and share in what, until Wednesday night, had been a thrilling run for the Cup, couldn't hold back the tears as she swept up glass.
"I was so shocked and appalled by what I saw last night. Those people were not hockey fans."
She said she came down with her sister and 17-year-old niece to pitch in because it was the only thing that would make her feel better.
The rapid-fire dissemination of images around the globe via Twitter and social media also shocked her.
"Mayor Gregor Robertson came by this morning while we were cleaning up and said, 'I hope this is the image of Vancouver people remember,'â" said Listwin.
Eighteen-year-olds Thomas Pu and Su Jim Im took a morning off their studies at University of B.C. to join the clean up. Pu was downtown last night to watch the game at the CBC Plaza. As soon as he saw events begin to turn ugly, he left. "It wasn't my scene," he said. "No Canucks fan would do that."
Jay Frank, a Shaw employee who came in from Maple Ridge at 5 a.m. with a broom slung over his shoulder, said he was appalled to hear from his colleagues Wednesday night, who were still in the downtown office tower while the riots were going on.
"There are good people in this city," he said. "What bothers me the most is that [Wednesday] night there were 80,000 people watching this get out of hand, and taking pictures instead of helping."
Along with glass, burnt metal, spent pepper spray canisters, litter and debris, clean up volunteer Ariadne Armond found bags stuffed with new clothes that looters had stashed.
She handed them over to police.
Little Zachary Rodger-Senft, 4, crouched on his hands and knees in front of Chapters, wearing a canvas glove about 10 sizes too big, and picked cubes of glass from the sidewalk cracks. His mom Moyra shut down her social networking company for the day to get in on the action. She was appalled that the "actions of a few" would be magnified as representative of what Vancouver really is. "We're taking a lot of pictures and tweeting it out to the world: this is what we're about."

Ksa,
Vancouver is indeed a beautiful city, but like everything beautiful, it sure does attract its fair share of hoodlums. Being the most temperate climate across Canada and the generous welfare system in BC, makes it a more inviting for street urchins & wafers.
