CAR FIRE HOCKEY RIOT DOWNTOWN VANCOUVER STANLEY CUP FINAL JUNE 15, 2011

[lee5537]

If the police was having trouble with the rioters which they surely were, then they should have called in the military. Those guys would have loved to kick ass, some of these rioters would have gone home with either a boot print on their butts, or a military boot stuck up their ass.

[rareshud]

and I thought Canada was a place with less idiots ....

[xPGPRoDiGy97]

8:55 what r they chanting?

[DavidSIlvercloud]

@xPGPRoDiGy97 "Throw it in"

[altfactor]

I'm pretty sure this high-quality footage was shown the next day on TV newscasts across North America.

Wasn't there also looting (to a lesser extent) in New Westminster and Victoria???

[vikings844]

[xXHeadTrIpXx1]

@itzvideotime Please dont, this wasnt ALL Vancouverites some were americans . In fact 3/4 of the bruins players were Canadian .

[MrGonJahHero]

If I were there I would be pissing of the top of that building.

[BeeEmmW]

fill me in . why is there a riot

[butchnews]

@BeeEmmW This was at the end of the Stanley Cup Final. Vancouver lost the series. The fans were not amused. Hockey is right up there with motherhood in Canada. Vancouver has never won a Stanley Cup and they were soooooooo close.

[akayourmommasdaddy]

@butchnews so lets start a riot and tear apart our home country... dumb asses.

[akayourmommasdaddy]

retarded people.. oh yeah guys lets tear apart our own shit because we lost a hockey game... you guys might as well start beating people up for playing the wrong video game.. fucking sore losers.. get over it.. your hockey team got owned bitches lmao.. ohh now you gonna get mad again and start another riot? lmao stupid fucks.. boston all day bitches.. come down to boston and try to start a riot pussys...

[kaiden10brooke14]

[JDRUMNYC]

fucken cops shoven people who r just walken by like wtf... power trippin

[icepiano21]

@JDRUMNYC If you didn't leave, you deserve to be pushed

[JDRUMNYC]

@icepiano21 i dnt kno if youre being sarcastic or serious but i dont agree with that. but if thats your opinion, so be it

[guatahala]

@icepiano21

No one 'deserves' anything. Fuck morality, fuck you, and fuck the police.

[chizzle0]

why arent the cops pushing you back? did you wear a special uniform or badge or something?

[butchnews]

@chizzle0 I was wearing a helmet that says BUTCH NEWS front and back and a T shirt that says BUTCH NEWS and I'm also 6'2" carrying a very impressive looking camera rig. I act like I'm supposed to be there and no one ever much hassles me. Many cops and TV camera people also recognize me because I cover a lot of events. The cop that carries the video camera also knows me and talks to me. Been lobbying city hall and got to ask the Premier when I did video of her to buy the cops better cameras

[butchnews]

@chizzle0 I should also mention, I guess, that anyone watching me would see my entire focus is on making video... I'm very obviously making serious video and not part of "the crowd".

[ttthttpd]

If these people are normal I'm glad I'm a "freak"

[Scullyman42]

Vancouvers new name should be soreloserville, Canada

[subtleserpeant]

I guess the Dude aint getting his Creedence Tapes back.

[MrParoleViolator]

You shoot some very good video.

[aabdalreem]

كفو والله ياشعب كندا !

[MrParoleViolator]

Butch....The mayor says he could not have predicted a riot. I predicted it. Everyone I know predicted it. What do you think.

[butchnews]

@MrParoleViolator Hindsight is always so easy. I wear a helmet in crowd situations for advertising but, Butch likes to be prepared. But, in hindsight, remember it's easy to be an expert after the fact.... but, it seems, if the series went 7 games, and it did, there was a big chance it would not go well if Vancouver lost the series. Putting that many people together without a large police presence is, IMO, pretty risky. But I was not in charge.

[picure]

Kids now a days are officially retarded

[dohboy200]

if only the cops knew that the kid with the red hair and canucks flag as a cape was the guy that started the fire...he was goading them the whole time and they would have had dozens of opportunities to smash his face against the pavement and arrest him for starting a riot.

[xxxdaedlusxxx]

nice vid, looks like out of all the photojournalists, they gave you the least trouble! nice!

[butchnews]

@xxxdaedlusxxx I wear a helmet that clearly says who I am... BUTCH NEWS on front and back + website name and I wear a T Shirt that also says BUTCH NEWS. Also many cops are starting to get to recognize me because I video a lot of events downtown. And I'm big guy (6'2").

[iFunns]

if only the car blew up..

[An0niempje]

Awesome footage.

It's so great to see how all those fucking tough, yelling 'rebels' cower in fear for like 20 determined police officers. I'd love to see some of these faggots get beaten up, but kudos to the police none the less for keeping this from escalating.

[devilsin88]

guy yrying to kick off the door....FAIL!!

[mikeysheppard1981]

i was their ssecerty wouldnt let us leave the arena lol

[innca12]

And i was thinkig we in Croatia are crazy

[simvision01]

[MrNutsack101]

[Wehategod]

So this how to Party In Vancouver LMAO wow. Was there a Celebration of this Magnitude when the Vancouve Millionares won the Cup in 1915 ?

[nabelleish]

It's amazing what people will do over a fricken HOCKEY GAME. God...

[GoLDeNxArmy]

THUMBS UP IF YOU NOTICED THE KIDS IN THE TREE 0:40 LOL

[jayberwanger]

I hope some of these get caught.

[andmaketherain]

[andmaketherain]

They all look so proud...

[isoconnor89]

Police are douchebags.

[OsamaBinLooney]

here's a question

do you think a guy wearing a Boston Bruins jersey could make it through that crowd alive?

[crackernumber2]

@SnobRoll and all americans are fat... your the fag who is stupid and lame fuck off

[crackernumber2]

@superstud666 are you fucking stupid?? you know how much this is going to cost the taxpayer?? fucking loser i bet your on welfare or selling small amounts of drugs. fucking zeek

[veetour]

YEAH! WE TRASHED A CAR. THAT SHOWED BOSTON!! /NOT

[BurnYourCash]

the guy throwing the plastic bumper piece has an IQ of 2

[00blend]

What lens did you use?



[butchnews]

@00blend Nex-5 camera with 16mm lens + ultra wide lens adapter + microphone attachment.

[humvee600]

wow.... wheres the freakin water tank

[jplayball]

Wow...white people can Riot too...who knew!

[raredreamfootage]

Did you use a Jib for the overhead shots?

[butchnews]

@raredreamfootage This time out I had my camera on my tiny Giottos tripod with a ball head and I taped the legs tight with electical tape (I keep it handy) and just hand held the tripod. I always use a monopod and lately this neat little light weight tripod.

[butchnews]

@raredreamfootage If you check out some of my other videos you will see it's my style to use very wide angle lenses and to be constantly on the move. I'm getting better at creeping like a cat.

[butchnews]

@raredreamfootage You can see the shadow of my rig starting at 3:18

[4reelfilmproductions]

@butchnews Nice footage bro. Camera's got really nice quality! Is it M4/3 camera?

[butchnews]

@4reelfilmproductions Sony Nex5 uses of the same APS-C sensor size as in its Alpha DSLRs (also shared by Samsung's NX format), which is some 60% greater in area than the smaller Four Thirds sensors used by Panasonic and Olympus... quote from a Sony Nex-5 review.

[4reelfilmproductions]

@butchnews Ahh, nice. I shot my footage with a GH2, pretty much the best video you can get from the DSLR categories, unfortunately two of my prime lenses werent working so had to resort to the stock 14-140mm. Nice wide on there and pretty steady for how your holding it.

[butchnews]

@butchnews If I had the money I'd get a Canon 5D with something like an 8-15 zoom. Saving up for a Merlin steadycam for DSLR. Thanks for the comments.

[escapetosaltspring]

Hi David you really captured this moment of insanity glad you were there to get it on video so we could all see it. Hope you made it home safe. Cheers Scott

[cujja]

nope its just a bunch of idiots thinking as long as ther in a crowd they wont get in trouble for being stupid enough to comit crimes what they wouldnt do otherwise. atleast they all stopped to pose for the camera during so they will all get there come upance. hope they get rapped in jail infact i think that should be mandatory. ejots ruining my trip to van!!! :) but seriously this place is amazing the people are the nicest ever dont let this put you off. every other day this place is beautifull

[SkunkyAngry]

@cujja

So some kids decide to have some fun and break a few things and your solution is to try and get them raped in jail? Oh yeah, you're soooo much more civilized and intelligent. People like you crack me up. You piss your judgement on people in the video and then act like you're justified in suggesting the most barbaric punishments for them. You got no place to judge, mate.

[youderektube1]

A truly embarrassing moment in Vancouver's life... again... I can only say that this is a symptom of a bigger social issue... Government/ Corporate dis-empowerment of Canada's citizens... or something...
