Hockey riot aftermath - a few images
Did a shift at a used book and record store in the city today, so en route, I took a stroll through some of the damage. Lots of people helping with the cleanup, and even more taking photos. Including me...

It's really a shame society makes people so angry. Every time I hear about and see the aftermath of riots I think of how much anger there is in people that they choose to express it during sports events. There is some deep ingrained sadness that all of us seem to have as members of this society, and I believe that sports and other forms of entertainment give people the illusion of unity. But this unity creates rivalry, bettering one unified group over another. And when sports team lose riots happen because people see opposing teams as enemies. It is really too bad that feeling together is not all inclusive in this world.
