It might be a good deterrent for future rioters. But then, probably not.
The problem with that is in a previous thread where this was posted, it was noted that defending one's property with force is illegal in Canada. At the same time, every one of the rioters also faces life in prison for participation in the riot, but I doubt justice will be handed out to 99% of them.

Not at all. It would be considered 'defense of property', Which isn't something that will hold a case. You would be charged with multiple counts of assault with a deadly weapon (the car), and her License and her ///M5 would be revoked

Poor Girl. The people that did that should be locked up.

When I go to a hockey game or any place where there is going to be a huge crowd I always leave my car at home because you never know what kinda of assholes are going to be there.

If someone with access can run her lisence plate so that we can all pitch in and send her a gift. My wife would have killed for her bimmer also. I like how these morons are trying to do something to the car when she is not looking at them.

It's amazing how the cops just stood around. I'm sure with all of the silly liberal laws Canada must have, the police could only do so much. If they could have had mounted police come charging through the crowd whacking these punks with billy clubs just after a barrage of rubber bullets the crowd would dispearse in short order.

tough to tell how old she is, looks like her friends were helping as well, could be her car, dad's car, boyfriend's/husbands car...

all I know is she was pretty damn effecient at getting the assholes off her car, some good power while throwing them off.

I would guess the car was already too smashed to drive and if that was the case, why risk yourself, its already totaled, let insurance take over and use the cash on a 2012 like someone else said.

So much for civilization...

For all those of you saying that you'd run them over, or use your gun etc... YOU CAN'T, unless you are OK with the risk of getting killed. A gun has what... 10-12 bullets... That's the most you can kill.. I counted more people there. You can try and drive on to them, but if you do it too slow they can pull you off the car, if you drive fast, they won't have time to move away from your path and that car is no SUV. And chances are more streets are blocked than the one you're in, so even if you can drive for 200ft, you'll end up coming to another group of people...

There's nothing you can do in situation like that.
Mow them over with car? Um, like most of the people there are just watching, only a few idiots are actually destroying something.. You can't justify mass killing of a crowd to protect your car from a few people in the mob.
What is insurance for?
Pull a firearm? Sure, and no one else has one.. besides someone trashing your car is not grounds for self-defence. They're attacking a car, not you.
She was lucky, if it were Libya, she would have been raped and torn apart.

Vancouver police are a joke. Over a million pictures where sent to them and hours of video.

Only 117 arrests so far.

I'm just puzzled that no one even sympathized with the poor girl...wrecking her car like if she's the one responsible for the loss of their pathetic team !! all those punks that were standing really doesn't deserve to be called MEN! It's really disgusting how people lose their human senses for the sake of stupid game made for entertainment...

I would have... I would have...

A lot of that going on here. If you "would have" done anything but walk away you would be in a hospital, dead, or in jail. Walk away, or while your trying to be Mr BMW defender you will maybe stop one idiot before 10 others jump you and still destroy your car. Hate to say it, it's only a car, and cars have insurance.

Pure embarrassment to Vancu and the hockey team; must have lost tons of money on betting . A big toast to the girl for bravery, although it's very dangerous to be there. She could just let her insurance take care of it ( don't know is she has one?) BMW should put this video of her defending her m5 for a commercial, like Hublot's. "this is how far a girl will go for an m5"
