Sports Update: Vancouver Out of Control

Angry Fans Burn Cars in Vancouver
       Following the Vancouver Canuck's 0-4 loss to the Boston Bruins and the loss of the Stanley Cup, the Vancouver fans went berserk. They protested violently and expressed their anger in destructive way. They set cars on fire in Vancouver, BC and watched as they burned. Thousands gathered to watch; many of them taking pictures or videos while rejoicing in the defacing of people's personal property as an outlet for their anger. It appears that in Canada you can be destructive and reckless without repercussion. Not only did they set cars on fire but also flipping over numerous vehicles and throwing beer bottles at the many public big screens that were showing the game. This incident shows the immaturity of so many people and where their priorities are placed. Fortunately, these incidents are fairly limited. Is this cause for a law suit for those who lost property due to the vandalism? Should the instigators be punished and held responsible?
