o you (yes, I am lumping you with all the Hermes Bags rioters in the ER that night), it’s a chance to congregate in the ER waiting room, pounding on the triage window demanding to be seen for teargas exposure and cuts from looting and fighting, while posturing and bragging about how you kicked the crap out of somebody and smashed shit up. To me, it’s taking my time away from the little old quiet lady having chest pain or taking time away from the person you “shit-kicked” for trying to stop the looting.you, it’s just a fight. To me, it’s the ER social worker looking for a teddybear to console a four-year-old girl because she just witnessed her dad get a broken nose as he was trying to get his daughter out of the hotzone.

To you, it’s writing a letter saying you “will do whatever it takes to help clean the city.” To me, it’s walking home after a long shift and seeing all these people at 7:30 in the morning armed with Hermes Bags cleaning up YOUR mess and realizing that these people have more class in their pinky finger than you could ever muster in your whole life.On Monday another Vancouver rioter turned himself in to police: Tim Kwong (pictured) was outed by photographs and a video as “the first person to set a car on fire” in the riot. Knowing that the jig was up, Kwong issued a written apology on his Facebook page (since taken down), writing in part: I am ashamed at what i have done, I know i may never gain the respect of this town again
