Philly Riots..........

[Guest Zyzz]

I meant Montreal. Opps.

 

MONTREAL -- Police regained control of the downtown core early Thursday after firing tear gas at hundreds of bottle-tossing youths who looted businesses following the Montreal Canadiens' Game 7 victory in Pittsburgh.

 

The vandalism occurred after most of the tens of thousands of jubilant hockey fans left the area.

 

Looters wrapped their faces in garments -- in some cases the ones they'd stolen -- and dashed into a liquor store. With their identities concealed, they leaped through the smashed front window and emerged moments later with their arms full.

 

One man warned his female friend to be careful with the loot.

 

"Hide the bottle," he snapped. "The police."

 

He was referring to the line of officers who watched impassively from the closest street corner. Their reinforcements were on the way.

 

Rows of black-clad riot officers charged in from the peripheries, rattling their shields as a warning to the crowd before firing tear-gas canisters. Police said about 25 people were arrested and two officers sustained minor injuries.

So intense that many people celebrate but it sucks that people who aren't even hockey fans turn out and do this. They ruin it for those actually celebrating.
