The gayest thing ever

I shouldn’t use gay in a derogatory way, so, instead, I’ll say this shit is LAME! Yes, the riots were ridiculous. We should keep those who got hurt in our prayers. And since we made the mess, we should clean it up. It’s great to see so many volunteers downtown. But an apology wall? People writing things such as, “We’re better than this!” just makes me vomit in my mouth. I get that now that everyone has sobered up, they’re feeling the inevitable regret for their barbaric behaviour, and sure, we are better than this, but a frickin’ apology wall?! Do me a favour, Vancouver, and save your repentance for your pedophile priest.
