    I don't know how truthful your statement is. I think they are real fans, since fan is short for fanatic. These folks are fanatically devoted to their team, so when the team lets them down by playing poorly and losing badly, it's an emotional pain that needs an outlet in the form of destruction.

    Extensive Photos - This story from the National Post made me realize how bad the riots really were.

    Lastly...Go Bruins!
    Boston had its police ready for the Bruins fans, win or lose. Guess Vancouver is a little behind on mob control.

    My favorite picture from what you posted:

    In the case of blood, you can argue that he's "taking emergency blood supplies", but as long as he took it from a place where they had plenty in stock, it wouldn't matter.
    Sorry, I forgot to reply to this. The difference is, blood supplies are a limited resource that relies on literal blood donations from other people. That blood is in short supply in a lot of areas and especially if there's a disaster. So giving it all to one guy just because he can afford it is like letting a murderer go because he is rich.

    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?
