It certainly tarnished Canada's image as a "nice" place. However, not all Canadians or Vancouverites ran amok that night. Those who did riot and pillage need to face the consequences including the rich kid who got "carried away." There are more Robert MacKays in Canada than there are Nathan Kotylaks.

The team wishes to thank downtown Vancouver businesses and individual citizens for submitting their photos and videos to assist in finding those responsible for participating in the June 15th riot."<br /><br />The public 'naming and shaming' campaign has to date resulted in 34 people who have turned themselves in to police. Anyone wanting to turn themselves in should call the VPD at 778-838-2124 to make the necessary arrangements.<br /><br />Tips can also be left on the VPD tip-line at 604-717-2541 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.<br /><br />Last week, downtown Vancouver business folks from The Hudson's Bay Company, Vancouver's iconic department store that had every one of its square-block buildings windows smashed by looters, honoured Robert MacKay, a man who was beaten after he stood up to vandals and looters during the riot.<br /><br />He defied a group of people smashing their way into the 'The Bay' department store. Internet video from that night shows MacKay trying to stop people from breaking into the store and a number of people then swarming over him, kicking and punching him, dragging him to the ground and dousing him with pepper spray. (Yet another fine display of Vancouver testosterone run amok...)Carolyn Thomashttp://ethicalnag.org/2011/06/20/vancouver-riots-backlash/noreply@blogger.com
