Two bits of Vancouver follow up

Last week we posted this astounding photo album from the great Vancouver hockey riots of 2011.  Two follow ups that more or less confirm that this was one of the more peculiar riots in history -

1)  90% of the wreckage was cleaned up the next day by 11 am.  Almost 16,000 Vancouver residents RSVP'd to join in sweeping up a shattered downtown - some of whom were angry about the riots, some of whom had taken part.

2) Police are identifying perpetrators through Facebook photos.  The NYT has the rather creepy lowdown here.  This feels like a fairly logical corollary to the public nature of social media and serves as an excellent reminder that when you stare into Facebook, Facebook stares back (thanks Nietzche!).

And this continues to be one one hell of a photo album.
