Asians Behaving Badly: Jason Li, Vancouver Hockey Fan Rioter

By Ernie | Thursday, June 16, 2011 | 20 Comments

Dear Jason Li:

By the way, I can call you Jason, right?  I mean, your name is all over the internet now.  Good!

You know, I feel for you. I really do. Your hockey team, the Vancouver Canucks lost the Stanley Cup in the seventh game to the Boston Bruins, a team that hasn’t won a hockey title in 39 years. And as a brief resident of your fair city a couple of years ago, I was charmed by your delightful combination of trees, wacky two dollar coins, kinda-similar-but-not-really radio stations and, of course, those influx of Asians from the immigrant wave in the late 1990s. If nothing else, I’m happy to see that you, as well as other Asian-Canadians, are acclimating into the civic fabric of Downtown Vancouver.

BY TEARING SHIT UP.

I’m all for getting all Wolverine ragey; release of anger is good! And the rage-face with the giant hockey stick in front of the panels of broken glass make it seem like the Canuck’s loss (combined with the B- you got in Organic Chemistry) was your Taxi Driver moment. It matches the belt, so I’m okay with that, really!

But if you’re going to pose for Associated Press photographers who have worldwide distribution to news centers all over the world, you may want to give a quick heads-up Skype call to your aunt in Hong Kong to tell her that you’re not a homicidal maniac; there’s just simply this thing in Canada called hockey, and that you were “just posing.” (I wouldn’t tell her about that B- though; that may cause some broken glass and rage face of her own.)

See you at the Richmond Night Market,
– Your friends at 8Asians

    In Boston, the police were out in force, with barricades, horses, and dogs. ready to crack heads. No riots here. But then again, Bruins won. ^_^

    (Actually, I don’t care about hockey, at all…and I despise the bandwagon-jumpers. Boo. Real sports fans are required to suffer before their allowed to celebrate championships.)

  • mwei

    @A_Lee but this is the Canadia mounties here. they’d go “please put down that hockey stick,eh ” and afterwards “thanks for not being a hoser, eh”

    whereas in Boston, the police is like “hands on the ground before I cap your black Harvard professor ass”

  • VanCityNights

    Boston still sucks. Both their team and city. But most of us in Vancouver are ashamed of the rioters. It happened in the 1994 Stanley Cup playoffs too.

    @JeffreyMcManus @Ernie H. man, Asians are such overachievers – taking time off from rioting to post on facebook? lol

    @mwei Yup, the police here don’t tolerate much. They have lots of practice shutting down sports riots.

    If you’re talking about Professor Gates-gate…well, one argument between us is enough, so I’ll just say that even in ultra-liberal Cambridge, most people supported the cops and thought they behaved professionally, and leave it at that. A better example to be outraged about would be when the police fired a pepper-spray shotgun round at a young woman in a sports riot, killing her when it went through her eye into her brain.

  • mwei

    @A_Lee @mwei aren’t the cops suppose to practice shooting and macing themselves first?

  • brandontan

    Is it a norm for hockey fans to start rioting once their team loses? I don’t see this happening with basketball.. No riots down in Miami.. Don’t really get the point of tearing your own city apart after a team loses.

  • Ernie H.

    @brandontan Umm. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMbi0pJYB0A

  • brandontan
