There Was The Dumb Drunk Portion Of The Vancouver Riots, And Then Things Got Sinister
At about the three-minute mark in this video, the band of drunks redirects its impotent rage onto a man (described in the YouTube video as a security guard) who tries to keep them from smashing the department store windows.
