Used to hear the same in the UK with football (soccer).  Funny how the hooligans are never fans. Then WTF do they wear the team shirts when they are causing damage and mayhem. Is that a disguise?

OK Willy, i hear you, i saw lots of stories of the hooligans in the UK.  Never thought we would be the same, but unfortunately we are.  The good news is thousands of Vancouverites came downtown and helped clean up the mess.  They wanted to show the city is full of good people, and they did.  Focus on the good things!!! 

People have to keep things in perspective to.  I remember being in Santiago Chile, I think it was in 1998.  I received a phone call from my wife,she was very distressed wondering if I was safe.  I had no idea what she was talking about.  Turns out here was a riot happening, it was all over the news.

Well, that riot was composed of about 300 people protesting Augusto Pinochet's appointment to a life-long seat in the Senate.    There was violence, like the kind in Vancouver.  Yet 99.9% of the city had no idea this was happening, including me.  I was 3 blocks away from it.  The media blew it up as if the whole city was in turmoil.
