Destroyed a great and wonderful image of the people of Vancouver that had been built around the 2010 Winter Olympics. In a matter of a few hours the world has watched a bunch of gutless drunken youth burning cars, smashing windows and looting stores for no other reason than "HOODLUMS WERE RUNNING THE STREETS!" The police acted in a most restrained manner, a credit to their plan not to give the hoodlums more reason to destroy more. Unfortunately my first choice would've been as it appeared to get out of control? Bring in or have them sitting handy huge water cannons and just flushed the streets clean of the fools. Added to this group of morons were all the complete and utter brainless Twitters and their damn phone cameras photographing everything going on. Which inturn added to escalating the rioters to do more to have their pictures taken. Although it appears this morning a huge number of people with those very phone cameras are banding together to give all the recorded images to the police to identify, capture and prosecute the SOB's But the damage will run into the hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars. Just a damn shame. I do hope the police can round them up by the dozens, put them behind bars and throw the keys away for a year or so. A true example of some youth of today with no respect for others and their property. A sad state of affairs indeed! cheers, ted ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nathan Wajsman" <photo at frozenlight.eu> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org> Sent: Thursday, June 16, 2011 12:06 AM Subject: [Leica] OT: Stanley Cup > Those Canucs really know how to celebrate defeat...I think I saw Vancouver > for the first time ever on Spanish TV this morning, and not in the most > flattering light... > > Nathan Wajsman > Alicante, Spain > http://www.frozenlight.eu > http://www.greatpix.eu > http://www.nathanfoto.com > PICTURE OF THE WEEK: http://www.fotocycle.dk/paws > Blog: http://www.fotocycle.dk/blog > > YNWA > > > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
