From the Twittersphere: Violence in Vancouver
@ThinkTomDotCom: I, for one, feel like putting on my hockey equipment and helping the riot police.
@druojajay: The HBC violently enforced an illegal monopoly over land for 200 years. Why a broken window so upsetting? #van2010 #no2010
@ktulljames: I'm not saying I agree or disagree. I'm saying violence and threatening are not the answer. We're bros on love, not bros in arms
@infil00p: I have mixed feelings about RIOT 2010, I wasn't down with property damage personally, but I like the result of giving VanShitty a black eye.
@Eyesno: They have reached 'mob' status now, which is what they should be called. By this stage little remains of the intended message.
@druojajay: Not a word about the 400 years of violence leading up to these games. But now a few windows are broken and everyone's upset. Boohoo #van2010
@druojajay: The Hudson Bay Company has its fortune because of land theft and violent repression. Without that, it would be nothing. #van2010 #no2010
@AlisaLuke: They are cowards! Showing up wearing masks and doing damage is just pathetic!
@kaler: The #no2010 protestors need to man up and condemn the anarchists. They are tainting your cause.
@EyeBeeSee: I hope they throw the book at these protesters, who are doing nothing but assaulting the very community itself.
@stephenfung: Olympic protesters are breaking shit downtown and scaring tourists. What's your cause again? That's the one I won't be supporting. K. Thx.
@canucksgirl44: #Vancouver protesters are just a bunch of wannabe hippies anyway. Welcome to the West Coast, lol #realhippieslivedinthe60s
@MitchGarvis: @DanaEpp Yeah but the funny thing is the protesters are all white kids, and the natives are all involved with the games :)
@steaks: Also protestors damage cause of people they say they are helping. How NGO's going to raise funds and lobby well when associated to douches?
@vantwisitor: Protestors seem to be particularly enraged by newspaper boxes. Guy who was kicking The Straight's box must be out of towner.
