Apology not accepted. What the fuck did she fucking learn from her "volunteering"? Probably just to puff up the resume. Bitch, I am disappoint. Ingenuine apologies are worthless.

Take a visit to Canuck Place or BC Children's Hospital and find out what a real reason for volunteering is. I swear, after seeing some of the things children live with, I know that volunteering doesn't entitle me to anything except a more gracious view of what I have.

This bitch is using volunteering as a way to plea to justify what she did. It makes me sick to have "volunteers" like this who are self-absorbed.

Anyone using alcohol and getting caught up in "mob mentality" is an idiot and just using it as a cop out. I was watching the game on the patio of Jimmys Taphouse at Robson/Homer, the entrance of the CBC fanzone with Blum2001 and a few other friends. We were drinking from 11am to 3am, a heavy mix of beers, highballs and shots, but did any of us get involved in the riot, no. So to use alcohol as an excuse is just fucked.

After Jimmys, we walked through the idiots to another bar in Yaletown to meet up with a few girls we know that were getting of shift early at the bar they worked at, the girls had been drinking and they decided to they wanted to take a walk to see what was going on, so rather than let the girls go alone, we went too. Only a couple block in we see a dumpster on fire at Homer/Nelson and at that point I told the group no point being on the street and we walked back to Yaletown to another bar. All of us had been drinking and had to walk through the idiot crowd, did any of us get caught up in the mob mentality and participate in the riot, no. Having to walk through the idiot crowd twice, non of us after heavy drinking got involved or caught up in this magical mob mentality bullshit.

Alcohol and mob mentality is just a bullshit excuse. These idiots that are losing their jobs, suspended from school, losing friends and being publicly shamed deserve every last bit of it. They showed their true nature by participating in the riot, they showed they are immature, lack character and have horrible decision making abilities.

Judging from some of your comments made, it is understandable they were made out of anger, but it is entirely NOT reasonable. That is not how criminal justice professionals have to look at it according to the legislative framework. I would agree with you if you said that committing a crime is committing a crime, but I have to point out that there are differing degrees of seriousness (this is highlighted by the crime severity index) and also by the type of charges she will be facing (summary conviction-less serious, or indictable offenses-more serious). I cannot recall at the moment what theft falls under.

The Canadian justice system also believes in a restorative justice approach that sees offenders being reintegrated into society as best as possible, and judges take mitigating and aggravating factors into sentencing. From what I remember, it cost 80,000/yr to house people in jails (I also read stats that showed $154/day in provincial jails versus $299/day in federal jails) compared to 20,000/yr for supervised probation. Let's be realistic here, that punishments have to fit the crime.

There are two kinds of apologies: 1) One kind, you do because you realize the consequences of your actions to yourself and to your well-being. 2) The second kind, you do because you realize the consequences of your actions to others and their well-being.

Not too many of the latter being seen so far... I wonder if we will ever see any.

....speechless to that statement.....so i guess it's okay to do bad things as long as "everything just seemed so right"

so if there's a car accident...it's OKAY for me to hit/damage the car again coz "just seemed so right" coz it's damaged anyways?....

....she's a R-TARD and she goes to UBC....hmmmmmmm G.P.A of i dont even know....coz poo probably has more....

I guess I'm in the minority in thinking that some of this public shaming is going too far. Especially when racist comments & death threats are being levied against the parties involved.

I would have preferred the police and judicial system take on the situation from there as opposed to the general public administering their own punishment. As we witnessed with the riot itself, the general public is full of idiots. And now, in some ways I think the social media groups have created their own mob in trying to imbue their beliefs of justice onto the parties involved in the riot.
