moderna

As I watched Vancouver erupt, i couldn't help but feel grateful that my birthday landed on Game one, not game seven.

I had been wandering the streets with friends after that first win, trying to find a bar which wasn't empty ( TV-less) and wasn't jammed. I remember being surprised by the number and energy of the crowd, and although it was a positive, spunky group of people ... I remember being extremely uneasy.

It doesn't take much to turn a crowd. It doesn't take but one person to have the power of many. Mob mentality is something that can be studied in schools, it can be a specialty, you can spend your whole life trying to understand why, when everyone knows that something is wrong, it takes so much strength to stand against it. Why did the Nazis exist? how could there be more than just a few evil people?

How did the G20 end up so god damn messed up, with cops detaining innocent people.
How can you possibly explain how a hockey game, or a soccer game or a baseball game could warrant the destruction of the town in which it is being played?

I mean common, not only did Vancouver now have to deal with loosing a pathetic series, but they also had to replace cars, clean up shops and answer to a world of disappointment.


Lets bust their asses on Facebook.


yea.This man saw the sounds.
