Ah yes, of course, I totally forgot about "killjoy". That would be the right translation for sure.

Heh. Fun break...English has a few words like that..."killjoy" and "buzzkill"

@ kittiboi     

fun break  -  to take a break and have fun or break me off a piece of that kit kat bar

fun brake  -  to put a stop to having fun   to put on the brakes

to stop a car you hit the brakes,  to stop work or studies you take a break 

spelling makes a big difference in what you mean

Heh. Not on a hockey riot!!  Seriously, look up the Vancouver riot after the Canucks lost the Stanley cup a few years back...lots of violence there

With regards to this there were murmurings of a group of people utilizing the mob's emotional state to incite them to unnecessary violence. A cadre of similarly clad individuals all over downtown Vancouver with the same (or similar) face masks moving in and out of the crowds starting incidents. (E.G - setting cars on fire, smashing windows)

I'm not excusing the crowds for their behavior but when you are caught up in that kind of setting the swelling peer pressure can cause you to act against your own nature simply out of survival. If 9 out of 10 people around you (number 10 ) start flipping a car over and begin to look at you funny, you might throw in a hand so they don't throw you under the bus. Literally.

Nothing ever came of any investigation into it, as far as I am aware, as no I.D's were made (public at least) and they of course were nowhere to be found when the chaos ended.

So if anything was ever done about that it was done quietly and behind the scenes.

something was done and quite publicly.  over 100 people have been charged.  many have been on the news when their trials came up.  a website was setup to help the police identify those guilty of rioting.  someone should pay more attention to the news

Camping, medieval dress up and archery sound great to me. Too bad that I dislike being around drunk people though. Guess that's a bit of a pet peeve of mine... and typically one that makes others go "Huuhhh, wut? What's your problem?"

Their problem is that you are more mature than them..but wait I'm drunk...what's that mean? 

I just got scared by my friend's cat stepping on my head...

Sorry I was a little vague near the end but I was speaking specifically about 'inciting group' with the matching outfits.

Also - mind your tone when you speak to me.
