For those of you, that like myself, watched in disbelief and disappointment that the hoped for Vancouver Canucks lost to the Boston Bruins, were most likely not realizing of what mass destruction there would soon be on the streets outside after said game.
Yes, we Canadians wanted the Stanley Cup back on ‘home soil’, and a tip o the hat at least, for Vancouver taking the challenge to 7 games, but, the horrors that have been now seen replayed many a time, on the numerous TV and news channels, is almost surrealistic. This could not be happening in “OUR” country, could it? That is Vancouver we are seeing? Those are Canadians bent on endless carnage and destruction?
Sadly, yes, our so-called ’polite image’ as a country, yea, citizens we often portray to the world, was shattered deeply and painfully this past Wednesday night. To say this was something that sprung forth after the game because of the loss, and that it was simple pent up frustration because of said loss, would be naive thinking at best. Folks, this was plain and simple premeditated criminal acts, however carefully planned or not beforehand, but nonetheless, the core group of instigators were clearly out for pre-thought out destruction.
“Why?” is the question that has often been asked, and has even baffled many a member of the news media and their various commentators.
Well, the thing is, this kind of behaviour is becoming more apparent and more aggressive and happening much more often than even we sheltered Maritimers may care to admit. Violence is world-wide Folks; take a long hard look in any newspaper, TV news show, and especially the 24/7 internet news venues; Mankind is, excuse the expression, hell-bent on destruction by whatever means many men (and women) can accomplish.
From the west coast of Canada, to the continued strife in many Middle East countries, violence is seemingly the common denominator. When will it end? Well, the thing is, it will continue, and to an even greater scale than even being seen at present. Yes, even the Bible warns in various prophetic passages, that events like this and others will be ushering in the “End Times”.
I for one, will not be planning any Middle East trips anytime soon, nor will I plan to be in any cities where ANY final game of any sports series will be played; I kinda still value my safety these days, and too, not to sound like a plan for being a Hermit either anytime soon, but, sometimes, the safety of one’s home, is apparently better than out in the streets with large crowds…
Pray my Dear Friends…that someday it will not be US being drug out into the streets for whatever reason…
Just…Thoughts…
