SIGH. This boy’s conduct does not evince your typical “spoiled child of liberals.” It goes well into the region of abnormal psychology. Way way off the bell curve. Even the gospels would have referred to such conduct as either crazy or possessed. Not as poor moral training.
If only there were a simple way to display standard deviations as bar graphs, you could probably get through to the wall of ignorance that just seems to think Michael needed more spankings or more/better religious instruction. Two standard deviations outside the norm is clinically incredible.
Either way, you’re probably wasting your time. I gave up yesterday.
