Rioters: "Boo Hoo" over Consequences of Their Stupid Actions

Cammille Cacnio: Do Not Hire This Woman.  Ever.

Well.

So now that more and more rioters are being identified, they are pleading their cases in the media trying to now minimize the consequences of their actions.

I say, let them burn like the police cars they set fire to.

Witness the article in the Globe and Mail today where Camille Cacnio, who helped loot a Black and Lee, cries crocodile tears over the consequences being leveled upon her as a result:

“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.

Really Camille?  The consequences are unfair?

Bullshit.

What is unfair is to be a business owner who has done nothing wrong, but to own a business on a major street, only to have throngs of losers feel that be sheer force of numbers, sprinkled with liberal amounts of alcohol, they are entitled to trash and pillage that store-owner's property.

That would be unfair.

You losing your job and being vilified is not only "fair", but in fact necessary to send a message sufficient to inhibit further such activity in the future.

The next step had better be criminal convictions assuring that they will not be entering the U.S. anytime soon, assuring that they will be given a scarlet "L" for "loser" on their forehead which won't be washed off with some convenient shedding of tears.

I encourage others to read her "apology" to understand my point.

She writes for several paragraphs about how sorry she is and how she accepts responsibility for her actions, and then, amazingly, she writes:

I want to shed light onto the thought process that was in my head so that maybe you can all get a little bit of an understanding and sympathize for people like me, who made wrong decisions but have now become victims of this social media form of mob mentality.


Why don’t I think I deserve all this treatment?

Because for one, I’ve admitted to my mistakes, two, I am ready to deal with the consequences in a judicial manner, and three, because (may I remind you that) I am responsible for theft – a fairly minor action compared to vandalism and arson. Please remember and understand that I am not responsible for the riot.

I did not vandalize any buildings.


I did not set fire on anything.


I did not break any glass.


I did not instigate the riot.


I did not physically harm anybody.


I did not jump on any cop cars.


I did not even plan on being in the riot.

Clearly her rank stupidity isn't limited to brief acts of impulse.  It appears that even when she has time to reflect and consider her actions, she is almost as stupid as she was on the evening of the riots.

A little comment, Cammille, and the rest of the rioters and their supporters.

Firstly, when you say, "sorry", and then immediately write (in bold letters no less) that you "don't deserve" the consequences of your actions, you have not "accepted responsibility".

Words are cheap.

We live in a society where, far too often, people drag out insincere and hollow apologies hoping that their words will make everything "all better".  But then that's what our culture of entitlement does.  It sends a message that we should not be responsible for outcomes of our own making.

Fortunately, however, even in our coddled liberal democracy, the real world does creep in, every now and again, to the shock of these entitlement babies.

But - to understand the depth of her insincerity and stupidity, you really have to read her whole blog.

You see.. uh, she is a female person and a visible minority..  and she's studying "conservative biology" and so she is an environmentalist too!!

Oh.

Well, why didn't you say so.

Of course you get a free pass.

Let me tell you something you stupid cow.  While you didn't burn any cars or commit violence, your obviously gleeful support and, let's not forget, involvement, provided much needed fuel to the fire.  So, spare us the, "I didn't burn any cars" line.

You only true regret is that you got caught.

And that, oddly enough, you are finally being shown that there are consequences in this world where not every asinine act is forgiven by a slap on the wrist.

Here's hoping that you, and your fellow rioters, have long and sad careers where the breadth of your intellect is properly challenged by requiring your to memorize the line, "Would you like fries with that?"
