[Leica] quite the photograph

[hopsternew at gmail.com (Geoff Hopkinson)]

As with football hooligans world wide these vandals and thugs are a small
minority.  Notice from the story that almost none of the identified rioters
were from Vancouver either and also that the AUSSIE was umm bravely
shielding the girl from danger with his own body, not to mention umm
building good relations with a local and not burning cars or vandalising
property.

Cheers
Geoff
