my pictures of the 2011 vancouver hockey riot

My photos from the 2011 Vancouver Hockey Riots.




I am made of bruises today. I took a truncheon to the arm and back while protecting my head and camera, was smashed in the side with a policebike, pepper-sprayed by riot cops, pushed off a roof by a rioter, and got stomped on while rescuing a girl from being trampled, yet I wasn't even in the more dangerous western riots, where the actual violence and looting took place. To get an idea of what that was like, check out David Lang's photos and the amazing set that Lung put up.
