My Thoughts about Vancouver Riot in 2011

    When the riot happened, I was 11 years old. I briefly remembered that the Canucks lost to the Boston Bruins in hockey. When I looked outside, it was like a sudden warzone of fire and teargas covering downtown buildings. Vancouver had a distinct burn smell for a month because of all the burning cars and buildings. I feel like Canadians shouldn't get upset about a game - even though we had a chance to win the Stanley Cup that year. It would be a more reasonable to riot if we elected someone such as a Donald Trump - then I would support the riot because who wants a wall?! Even though the Canucks lost, there shouldn't be a reason to destroy buildings. Personally, I think it was a stupid idea to damage city property and possibility face jail time. If someone damaged my property, I would feel extremely angry and would have to hold myself back. The damaged cause is misplaced and unnecessary.
