Minxx and I got stuck in this, before it got real bad and people were lighting cars on fire. We were just trying to get to the library to return book. I can't believe people are this retarted...especially over a stupid hockey game. I never liked hockey, maybe for good reasons after seeing this first hand. I had to climb over a fence and basically tell the security that that was the way it was going to be, becasue minxx was about to pass out. We were stuck in it, and they had fences up randomly boxing people in even more..with security grabbing people back off the fence. I had to tell them to fuck off and not touch us and let us climb the damn fence..all the while right behind us some other giant(probly drunk) hockey fan was literally strangling another person by the neck. It was just utter insanity..over a hocky game of all things..and this was just out on the streets of the city where we live.

..this is what humans have become.

^this is kinda awesome though..

Yeah, People suck. . . and then they don't

That's pretty metal, dude.

The ironic thing that these drunk idiots should realize is that 3/4 of Boston's players are Canadian...

I'm from Vancouver and I only heard that stat, I don't watch hockey and if I was there I would have been one of the guys standing in the way of the rioters.

Society is Brainwashed

Wild wild west! (I am SO not used to this place!) It was WORSE than being in a mosh pit at an NIN concert!!

But the mob instinct is fascinating... and frightening. I think humans could cause a very dangerous stampede, like the best of animals.

This sounds like a neurological mechanism I need to understand with a big dose of tryptamines. How has this been an evolutionary advantageous behavior?

I saw Alex Grey speak, and he said that the drive to play sports was likely something of a cellular memory. A whole team of people fighting to get the ball through the hoop, or, a whole bunch of sperm fighting to get to the egg...

Have we displaced ovum with sweaty grunty men that fight?

Do sports stir some kind of unconscious memory of the reproductive struggle?!

what can we say its sad and pathetic that human intelligence is degrading so fast and humans are trying their best to devolve and turn into apes , one had even climbed a pole and was hanging (very very monkey)

Whatever else humans may be, we are mammals. We have a lot of evolutionary baggage. I think sport is a useful way to channel mob aggression. We can compete against each other in close-knot teams to accomplish arbitrary tasks involving balls or pucks or whatever. This is better then actually fighting each other in the street.

It works best if you are actually playing the sport though. Spectators get their mammalian core tickled but do not have the same outlet the players have. This leads to hooliganism. Maybe the city of Vancouver should have set up some pick-up games for frustrated spectators to play?

I think this is it right here.

I've thought as much when I watched a rugby match after a psychedelic-filled night.
