Vancouver rioter: "I'm a good person"

Full text of original apology by Camille Cacnio: "I’m a good person. . . . I am majoring in Conservation Biology at UBC. I strongly belirve in ecological conservation and sustainability. That night, I saw a few people that were trying to knock trees down. So what did I do? I yelled at them, saying “Pleaaseee, not the treees!!!!” And what did they do? They stopped. And I felt like a hero.

Not to be forgotten: She participated in the drunken spree and stole a pair of pants. Her excuse? The mob/the adrenalin/my personality made me do it! This is a truly post-modern apology -- no guilt. But sad, because she doesn't know what to do with the shame.
