Fake “Miami Riot” video set in Vancouver

At least one of the reports/video clips about rioting, allegedly in Miami, which in my last post I suggested was phony, have been confirmed to be fake.

From The Daily Sheeple:

“According to Canada.com, however, the video clip is actually not in Miami, but Vancouver, Canada and was shot in 2011.

The video, first uploaded to YouTube and later reposted at World Star Hip Hop, was shared tens of thousands of times on Saturday night. However, the video actually depicted part of the 2011 Vancouver riots, which shook that city following the Vancouver Canucks’ loss to the Boston Bruins in the Stanley Cup finals.

Most Canadians would have recognized the video’s location immediately since whoever shot the original footage mentions Vancouver’s Granville Street, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, and suggests the police should go “all Dzieka?ski” on the rioters — a reference to the death of Polish immigrant Robert Dzieka?ski, whose death at the Vancouver airport in 2007 made national headlines.

At the time of this writing, no riots, civil disobedience or protests have been reported.

The Zimmerman verdict was announced late Saturday evening at 10:02 PM Eastern Time.
