'Really disgusting': Jets fan says he was punched, robbed of his jersey in Montreal

This is unacceptable and should not happen in sports at all.

Recognized the guy from the broom video immediately. All of that seemed very pleasant, really troubling to hear this went down. Considering how stupid the motivation was I hope these guys get caught and choke on the book when it's thrown at them.

 

[Canadienna]

Yeah that's sad. Kid is a big time fan, going to the Bell Centre knowing his team could get swept, took some ribbing before the game from the crowd.

Shouldn't end like that.

This is brutal.

Those "fans" should be ashamed of themselves. What a bunch of douchebags.

 

[WarriorofTime]

That's horrible. Sports fandom brings out the worst in people. Whoever did that should be in jail...

 

[Bood12]

including some who attempted to tip over a Montreal police van and others setting off fireworks in the streets.

Looks like if the Habs win the cup we have a good old fashioned riot coming up, when was the last one of those

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Imagine being that stupid, wow. Sad world we live in sometimes.

 

[RandomTask26]

That's so sad, I hope the Canadiens' organization does something for him (tickets for a Jets game next year maybe?). Sounds like there's surveillance footage so hope they catch those guys soon

 

[Royale With Cheese]

This is just gross. Habs organization - please make this right.

The good 'ol Canadian boys classic

 

[Fledgemyhedge]

we’re winning so let’s break shit and hurt people. People aren’t right in the head

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

Poor guy. Someone should replace his Wheeler jersey, would be a classy move.

At this point, win or lose, a riot will happen.

I feel really bad for him. I wish those motherf***ers are found and sent to prison. And I hope the Habs organization can right this wrong and orchestrate something for him to either meet the Jets or get jerseys etc from his favourite team.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Those who did this deserves jail time ASAP.
I find this disgusting that fans of the Habs woud do something like this, especially since we're more of a "Let's wreck shit up" kind of people.

Hope the kid's alright and it would be nice if the Habs org do something about it

 

[Hunter368]

Sad.......some fans get way too carried away.

 

[BobColesNasalCavity]

He did say he was a Leafs fan too so that might have had more to do with it.

 

[CanadienShark]

Yikes that's absolutely awful. I feel sorry for the poor guy. That shouldn't happen anywhere or anytime. No excuses. Those people that committed the assault are despicable human beings.

 

[Deam78]

Unacceptable.

 

[Kcoyote3]

Even if they were really disgusting I don’t think they deserved to get robbed over it

 

[Rafafouille]

Watch the videos, especially the ones with the more violent acts and count the Habs fans.


There's a problem in Montreal with "professional" rioters. People that join every major event preferably at night with the only goal in mind to loot or to commit violence. Similar to Vancouver 2011. It's not a hockey thing, it's criminal thugs using a large event to be able to stir shit and evade the police by the power of the crowd.

It bugs me something fierce that he says he would have rather it have been a regular robbery where they take the jersey, wallet and phone than being targeted for the team he cheers for so that they could destroy his jersey.

Yeah, that part was bizarre. It's not some sort of hate crime.




*I'm now waiting for some smartass comment about it being a hate crime in that it's a crime and those involved hate the other team.*

Good thing we don't need to worry about them winning the cup.

 

[DEANYOUNGBLOOD17]

To quote Edmondsons stupid low brow statement after the Schiefele hit.

" IF *********** DOESN'T handle this right we are going to make the culprit's life extremely difficult"

(Sarcasm) showing low class Edmondson character

 

[Space Coyote]

There are stupid people in every fanbase, these punks deserve to be in jail.
