Riots In Vancouver: Do Pictures Really Tell A Thousand Words? .

There have been a number of photos posted all over the web of individuals who played a role in the riots following the June 15, 2011, riots after the Vancouver Canuck’s Game 7 loss to the Boston Bruins in the Stanley Cup Final.There are a number of blogs and Facebook sites showing these photos..  The pictures seem to be of young people (I will use this term throughout this post however I realize some of these folks may be adult and not technically “young people” under the Youth Criminal Justice Act) who headed downtown to watch the game and participate in the festivities that ended up making some incredibly poor choices that evening.These young people likely came downtown to watch the game and have fun and were not members of the anarchist group known as the “black bloc” that appeared to have started the riot. Rather they made the poor decision to join in on the destruction once it got going..  Many of these pictures include names of those in the photos as well as some very detailed biographical information.  All of this information will live on in infamy on the web.

There is a clear mob mentality going on amongst the good people of Vancouver against these young people..  Assuming they are found to have played an actual destructive role in the riot I am in no way suggesting there should not be serious consequences, such as Criminal Code charges of mischief and damage to property.  For those who harmed other individuals, they may face the Criminal Code charge of assault.The best response may not be making these young people public enemy #1..  These young people, many of which would have the fact of any charge protected from publication under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, are now largely revered throughout Vancouver.They are all over the web..It will not be hard for a future employer or admissions committee to find this information on the Internet..The publicity here is occurring because Vancouverites are embarrassed. The rioters perhaps are being punished by society moreso than those who commit much more horrible crimes..An argument could certainly be made, however, that being publically shamed (under the assumption the public has the story correct, is a fair means of justice..
