A stun grenade, also known as a flashbang, is a non-lethal weapon. The first devices like this were created in the 1960s at the order of the British Special Air Service as an incapacitant.
These grenades are designed to temporarily neutralize the combat effectiveness of enemies by disorienting their senses. The flash of light momentarily activates all light sensitive cells in the eye, making vision impossible for approximately five seconds until the eye restores itself to its normal, unstimulated state. The extremely loud blast produced by the grenade adds to its incapacitating properties by disturbing the fluid in the ear.
When detonated, the fuse/grenade body assembly remains intact. The body is a tube with holes along the sides that emit the light and sound of the explosion. This avoids shrapnel injury, but can still burn. The concussive blast of the detonation can injure and the heat created can ignite flammable materials such as fuel. The fires that occurred during the Iranian Embassy Siege in London were caused by stun grenades. The filler consists of about 4.5 grams of a pyrotechnic metal-oxidant mix of magnesium or aluminium and an oxidizer such as ammonium perchlorate or potassium perchlorate.

Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

The philly puker that barfed on that little girl didn't help matters.
At least it wasn't as bad as the riots in Dallas when the Felons beat the Milwaukee Beers in Denslow Cup IV.
Final Tally: 14 injured, 3 dead.
I keep seeing people say it was just a few people, or a few dozen, but watching the streaming video and seeing the pictures, it was clearly more than that. But a mob mentality did break out, and crowd psychology is a tricky thing. It's like the old saying: a person is smart, but people are dumb.
As for whether or not they were "real fans", that is kind of beside the point. The shop owners that had their stores looted, and the people that had their cars set on fire (including that BMW ) probably could care less about whether or not the individuals that did it were cheering for the Canucks at the beginning of the season or jumped on the bandwagon during the playoffs. Or whether they went downtown to watch the game or to riot.
People are people, there have been riots (and yes sports riots) all over the world. To me, nothing that happened in Vancouver, last night or in '94 (or any N. American sports riot) is as bad as half the stuff that happens in the name of soccer/futball around this world.

Funny how you guys feel the need to defend yourselves when no one except Philly fans even brought it up.

just pointing it out, is all. philadelphians are defensive by nature.
anyhoo - i think the people of vancouver have done a lot to wipe the tarnish off ... thousands of volunteers cleaning up the grafitti yesterday ... i suspect a bunch of the hooligans will be arrested ...
People who were there have been reporting on the net that it was a staged photo. It still looks cool, but when you know it wasn't some spontaneous moment of romance but rather staged by a group of people, it's just not as cool.

Apparently their was a lot of good samaritans in the mix...hopefully when the good samaritans are identified that something nice is done for them...like tickets to a Canucks game next year.

Yeah, but it is a cool looking picture. But yeah, it loses a lot of coolness.
It isn't staged. There are other angles of this couple that were taken. She was knocked down by the police advancing. I think it's a beautiful picture, and a beautiful story.
