Some people really do deserve the things that happen to them. And his perch has nada to do with it. The birdbrain on it does.

At one time this would be a very good satire piece....

Quite remarkable a $ 60,000 education can literally turn your brain to mush...

I wonder next time he is assaulted and laying in his own pool of blood dying will he be so inclined to watch his own death from the “ perch of Privilege “

if pajama boy wants to walk around as a victim, more power too him, just don’t tell me I have to do the same. The sooner these idiots are put out of our misery, the better.
I can’t believe people actually believe the drivel coming out of this guy.

Big mistake in my abbreviation of a long title:

He attends Georgetown University NOT GWU.

Sorry for any confusion. I’ve asked the “FR powers that be” to fix.

Friedfeld

Friedfeld? He needs to change his name to Friedbrain.

Only a racist could blame “white privilege” or even just the short form “privilege” for this violent crime. As a sensible conservative, I know that the vast majority of black people are better than this. As a law-abiding person who grew up genuinely poor (with far less than we would have had on welfare), I know that the vast majority of poor people are better than this. Whether or not Oliver Friedfeld is a liar who invented this story, he’s a bigot if he actually believes that poor people (or, more likely, poor black people) are incapable of acting morally or of following the law.

Liberals are incapable of making moral distinctions or treating individuals as moral agents. They see everything through the prism of race and politics. We are so screwed as a nation.

In life you have choices. Poor choices, poor life.

This student has got to be a sophomore because his reasoning is soooo sophomoric.

What do you call a poor black kid, brought up in the Detroit ghetto by a mother who can’t read?

'Who am I to stand from my perch of privilege,surrounded by million-dollar homes and paying for a $60,000 education, to condemn these young men as "thugs?"' he argued. 'It’s precisely this kind of "otherization" that fuels the problem.'

It's precisely this kind of excusing criminal behavior for people who were not born into wealth that fuels the problem. Being born into poverty is not destiny--people can and do climb out of poverty all the time. However, teaching them that being born into poverty means that they cannot ever hope to be anything other than a criminal *does* shape their destiny.

This is a topic I know *very* well, having been born into poverty and working my way up to a quite comfortable middle class life style.

Oliver, please submit yourself to a life-time of repeated muggings and rapes to atone for your White privilege.

I get the impression that this whole ‘check your privilege’ business is to keep the majority from fighting back when attacked.

Come now. You must be underprivileged relative to someone, Georgie boy.

Great comment at the site:

He should simply leave the university now, as his education in liberalism appears to be completed.

He got jumped. It was a cool mugging - no tissue damage this time for the liberal freshman. I got jumped one time by 3 or 4. They tried to put a beating on me, but they were getting tangled up with each other. No damage. I wasn’t even sore afterwards.

The noble thing would be to just offer his life as self sacrifice.
