I never said he didn’t have the right - my point was about priorities and having others pay for college - freeing up one’s own money to buy an over priced belt made in Malaysia for $5...the part about being arrested - if that’s all it was - Yes - that way out there and should have never happened...

THe actions of the people involved had to be based on some previous experience. That biases rightly or wrongly.

Most people whether they admit it or not use a statistical approach to the choices they make. Here is an example where the individual in question didn’t follow the statistics but was more of an outlier. Unfortunately for him, he got treated poorly by those who are supposed to “protect and serve”.

For most people a gym membership and regular exercise will do way more for you appearance than an Armani suit.

While I agree in principle, CUNY (City University of New York, of which, City College is one institution) satellite campuses, for the most part, are just watered down versions of City College, where forever it is 1958, the Rosenbergs were framed, Stalin saved Europe and the Brilliant Adali Stevenson lost to an amiable dunce.
