Camille Cacnio's story.

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/...rticle2067208/

Quote:

Camille Cacnio didn’t set any fires on the night of the Vancouver riots. She didn’t jump on a police car or smash any windows. But when the University of British Columbia student walked over shards of glass into the smashed up Black & Lee formal wear shop and took two pair of men’s pants – some of the few items left on the store’s shelves – she became another face of the unrest that is now splashed across websites around the world.

The consequences have been swift and harsh for her and others whose actions were caught on camera during Wednesday night’s riots, even though police say they have yet to lay any formal charges related to the riot as of Sunday.

Social media has become the sheriff of this unlawful event, in essence rounding up a number of rioters by posting their pictures on the Internet and encouraging people to identify the people in them. That has led to online shaming of those named, some of whom have since turned themselves into police and are lining up to publicly apologize online.

Ms. Cacnio said in an interview that she confessed to police over the weekend, and was told they’ll deal with her case at a later date. She also lost the part-time job she held for two years as a receptionist at a Vancouver car dealership.

The biology major has also lost many friends and acquaintances, all because of what she calls one alcohol-fuelled mistake she made after getting swept up in Wednesday’s riot.

“I fully admit to my mistake now, but the way I saw it at the time was that everyone was vandalizing, everyone was burning things. … At the time, I thought, ‘This would be funny if I took a souvenir’ because this is completely out of character,” Ms. Cacnio said.

Still, Ms. Cacnio believes the online backlash has gone too far in some instances. In her case, it’s the negative publicity now surrounding the Enspire Foundation, a charity she was once involved in. She said some online postings have recommended donations be directed elsewhere.

“The whole social media thing ... it’s great that people are trying to help catch and identify people, but it has become a problem in that people are actually ruining people’s lives. The consequences are far greater than they need to be,” Ms. Cacnio said.

Gotta love how these people and the JOURNALISTS who write these stories turned it around and blamed the people who picked them out. If nothing was reported, I bet that ho Cacnio would not apologize, same with the water fag guy.

boo fucking hoo. 99% of people wouldn't turn themselves in if they didn't get caught... and I am one of them. Who the fuck would actually go to the police and admit to something there was no evidence of? The people like Camille who were caught... well that is too bad. You made the choice to get involved and unfortunately for you this is the punishment you are getting, lynched by people on social media.

Pretty much his family has been getting threats

"Though the teen, a noted water-polo athlete, has not been charged by police, Findlay said the family has been the target of serious harassment and threats that has left them afraid to stay in their home."

I bet your one of those faggots that love bragging to other people how "hardcore" you are. The reason you haven't got arrested yet? Because you were too pussy to actually do anything while you were there even though you wanted to.

Funny how somebody who's accused of committing a crime thinks that they have the right to weigh in on whether the punishment is too harsh.

They need to be punished and be set an example of so that all other idiots out there that may have done the same will now THINK TWICE before they do anything stupid.

Tanaka and $_$ I think you are full of shit if you say you would turn yourselves in with someone having absolutely no proof that you did it. Same goes to anyone that failed me. Which was my point; people are turning themselves in and apologizing only because of evidence against them.

why would I edit it? BTW I haven't lived in Vancouver for over 5 years, Canada, or North America soooo... I probably didn't have anything to do with the riot. Good try though big guy....

You're not sure? You "probably didn't have anything to do with the riot"?

Lol. You completely missed the point. I'm not full of shit because I would've never been there in the first place; I was downtown that day, and I left because there was no reason to get in the way of the police as they were trying to deal with the problem. No one is disputing with you over the fact that they are only turning themselves only because they got caught. We are failing you because YOU are saying that you WERE there, but you haven't got caught. I'm telling you, stop acting like a hardcore faggot that thinks its "cool" to be part of the riot. Just look at all those people that posted status updates and got fired from their job regardless if they had to deal with the police or not. So you haven't lived in Vancouver for five years, but somehow "you were one of them", implying that you were part of the riot but you haven't got caught? What are you trying to say?

Harvey Specter 06-19-2011 09:14 PM

Ok, I've been calling to have some of these guys pay the price for their crimes but I think it's going too far when people start threatening family members and the suspects themselves. Let the cops and the courts deal with it, you're no different than these punks when you start this vigilante shit.

scottsman 06-19-2011 09:16 PM

@Tanaka, I have been in so many riots I often forget which ones I got involved in.

But yeah after watching the Canucks lose I decided to hop on a plane in Vietnam and some how make it back to Vancouver just in time to light some cop cars on fire. :speechless:

The riots pissed me off and I have already reported the only person I recognized in the Video. The point was that the people turning themselves in are only doing it because they were caught or know of evidence against them. The vast vast majority of people would not turn themselves in unless they knew of evidence/Video against them. I have no problem saying that I am one of them. It is absolutely ridiculous for you to sit at your computer and imply that you would turn yourself in with no evidence against you.

Where does it say anywhere in this that I was there? When I said I was "one of them" I meant in coming forth to the police if there was no evidence against me.

and for the last time I DO NOT LIVE IN CANADA!!!

Well this is the reason I failed you. You've never done something, left no trace but felt guilty enough to come forward and admit it. And you find it "absolutely ridiculous" that people would.
