I watched all seven games of the NHL finals. Seven games which have played (plagued) upon my emotions from elation to despair. Oh, I am certain we can all make interesting commentaries on the play of the game and have a plethora of reasons and excuses for the outcome. Know this, regardless of the outcome of the game, the riot in Vancouver was going to happen outside the arena. It was not helped by the fact that Vancouver lost the last game.. But it was not hindered either.
Why did the crowd riot? It wasn’t the crowd that rioted… it was the elite, the criminal and the audience. And they were led by a spirit working upon the minds of those people…
Whether you believe in spirits or not, they are out there and they are leading mankind into rebellion against, God inspired laws and institutions of man and against God himself. They do this, not in one great uprising, but by a multitude of small events. Most will bring shock to the general public. Some will inspire that same public. It is based upon that axiom, “The Squeaky Wheel Gets the Grease.” The central theme behind these riots is to “change the times” we live in. It can come in the form of a child’s tantrum up to, and including, an “Arab Spring,” a revolution of the people.
You may say to me… “Whoa pardner, that seems a bit extreme!” Only because you fail to understand the spirit of disobedience at work in the hearts of men, women… and children. It is a natural response of the carnal mind, sometimes inflamed by a spirit(s), to a perceived wrong. What about last night? A handful of individuals, soldiers of The Spirit of the Anarchist, took it upon themselves to arm and revolt at the conclusion of Game Seven. They were there to cause turmoil, to shock people, to inspire crimes and to draw an audience to look upon a spectacle… to entertain the masses. It is: an expression of evil, to inspire acts of lawlessness, to entice the lost soul and eventually manipulate the general population.
In the aftermath there will be whispers of Shame. There will be upset hearts. There will be a call to make things right. Voices that will call for justice, tolerance and reason. The soul of the nation will once again sigh… and then not truly understanding what has occurred, they will come one step closer to making a policy decision that will miss the mark and will add one more strand of straw to the proverbial camel’s back.
Yes, we lost… a game… a series… and we are saddened. That is the nature of competition. To the victor go the spoils. Last night there was a successful act to spoil that victory for others. Let us recognize that it was led by the enemies of civilization and made worse by the criminals around them. Let the authorities deal with them specifically while we deal with the shame it brought. Perhaps next year we can have a victory celebration without the spoilers ruining it for all of us.
