My son is 19 years old. His best attributes by far are his gentle nature and a natural respect for others, especially his elders. He generally has very good common sense and is "generally" quite mature. However, when all this stuff was happening, I was worried that I may see his face on TV. I didn't expect him to be participating, but I was worried that he might be posing for a picture, to substantiate that he was "there".
I am not happy about FACEBOOK in that it really does play a part in portraying an image that many of these young people will regret later. Many of us have made mistakes or erred in judgement when we were younger but there has never been video and audio proof to cement our indiscretions like there is today.
The story of these parents turning in their child is noble, morally correct, and very sad. I would also do the same thing. But let me ask you; would these parents be willing to do the same thing if there was no proof that their child committed any of these acts? Would I be willing to do the same? I may know about it, but if no one else knows or has proof, would I still act in a noble and morally correct manner? I won't answer that now. I would have to be put in the situation and analyze accordingly. I do know this, I would act in a manner that would allow me to live with myself.
Facebook in the latest application has served society very well. Perhaps this will be a catalyst in promoting people to think about the consequences of their actions. Intelligent, mature, and ethical types do not need an entity such as Facebook to effect their actions, but if it helps thwart further acts like we witnessed, that is good.
Raising children is certainly challenging, and in this unfortunate set of circumstances, I am proud of my son. The elderly gentleman has washed the shirt and arranged to return it to my son. My son said he could keep it but the old guy doesn't feel comfortable in Hollister.

This. Hopefully.
In unrelated news, the Surrey RCMP reported that since their inception, Wednesday was the first day they didn't receive even one call for help. TELUS has confirmed that the phone lines were operating properly.

The kid that was tackled is a grade 12 student apparently................ Interesting to see what happens from that as the school knows.

Absolutely cracking punch to the fcuk who was the 'hero' a few minutes earlier.
We have seen a few students from our school in some of the photos......and their names have been passed along to the appropriate people. Everyone who has the opportunity to do this should do something about it.

Fcuk, Brock Anton. What a ****ing tool. Let's hope he takes a long time to recover and then gets pummeled again.

Kid from Maple Ridge has pretty much ruined his life and embarassed his parents and family. From Elite Athlete to Criminal in the click of a camera.
At least they're making him face the music.

Do these people not realize that a criminal record would likely mean being turned down for jobs, let alone fired from the ones they have and likely being turned away at the border or travelling outside the country?
I love that schools are turning their students in.
And parents are turning thier kids in.

I love all this. It shows that despite our minority of unruly hoodlums, we have grown since 1994. I don't recall as many people turning themselves in back then nor being outed. We may not be able to totally prevent these sorts of incidences but by refusing to stand by idly, volunteering to cleanup, and bringing those responsible to justice we what Vancity is REALLY about!

Berg,
I've been mulling this over in my head the last couple of days... are we really further ahead?
All I keep hearing these days are Social Media this, Social Media that... to be honest, I'm not a proponent even though I guess I could be pegged as a web-head.
We hear about how Social Media is so awesome helping out all these idiots... my thought is that if it weren't for Social Media in the first place, this shite wouldn't have happened as severly as it did.
One of the first things that struck me when I first started reading about the riots (I didn't see it live on TV as I went straight to bed after the game to cry myself to sleep ), was so many pictures showing a plethora of camera phones and people posing in front of burning cars.
Technology isn't always as cracked up to what it is made up to be.
Except TTP.

You're just saying that because you probably have some compromising facebook pics of yourself don't you?

Regs:
Just going back to what Ballbaby said about the responsibility of Facebook (and by extension, social media in general).
"Double-edged sword" comes to mind. Like with most types of technology...
Get a good night's sleep, buddy. You deserve it.

I am glad to see this guy on the front page of the Province. People like him should be given the recognition they deserve for standing up to these morons. Maybe this will make more people want to stand up for what is right and get themselves in the paper for the right reasons
