VE Day Riots

Alcohol-fueled idiots rioting is nothing new. At the end of WWII (VE Day), thousands of people in Halifax rioted. Three people died, more than 500 business were damaged, and over 200 shops looted. Very reminiscent of Vancouver after the Stanley Cup game, or the recent riots in Britain.
