Provincial court has officially announced the verdict in two separate cases of Stanley Cup rioters on Wednesday, when both suspects faced extensive charges of participating in the riot and teeming into an attack against a Good Samaritan attempting to protect The Bay from vandals and looters. 25-year-old Robert Timleck was sentenced to seven months imprisonment for rioting and assault, whereas 24-year-old Nathan Blake was sent to jail for eight months on charges of rioting and assault with a weapon.

Timleck has previously been already sentenced to three months minus 14 days on charges of another swarming in Surrey in 2010, and now he will be serving the remaining time of that breach after the recently imposed seven months imprison. Hence, his total jail time is now extended up to nine months and 16 days. Court was informed that both Timleck and Blake threw a 10-foot pole, as if it was a spear, into The Bay’s window at Georgia and Granville streets during the $4-million, five-hour riot after the Vancouver Canucks lost the Stanley Cup on June 15, 2011.

Thirteen other suspects have been officially charged in the attack against an innocent Richmond chef, Mackay, who has been officially applauded by the police for his actions to prevent the riot. It was found out from surveillance video that Timleck also punched Mackay in the head three times, after which Blake sprayed pepper sprays into his head and face. Judge Reg Harris labeled Blake’s weapon a can of “noxious spray.”
