The clean up begins as Facebook Vancouver crew rallies and police give instructions on how to help

A Facebook page set up last night in response to the overwhelming sense of disgust by the vast majority of Vancouver to the riots has volunteers signing on to the clean up efforts.  Meanwhile, the police thanked the public for photos and videos sent to help VPD identify the criminals who threw rocks through store windows downtown, looted The Bay, turned over cars, and set them ablaze.
