STUDENT ROBBED AT GUNPOINT, SAYS HE DESERVED IT DUE TO HIS 'PRIVILEGE'
Breitbart ^ | 29 Nov 2014 | Kristin Tate

Posted on 11/29/2014 8:12:32 PM PST by South40

Oliver Friedfeld, a senior at Georgetown University (GU) and his roommate were recently mugged at gun point -- but Frieldfeld says he deserved it because of his "privilege."

In an oped for the GU newspaper, The Hoya, Friedfeld wrote that he "can hardly blame" the assailants for robbing him. He argued that income inequality is to blame for the incident.

"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?’ It’s precisely this kind of ‘otherization’ that fuels the problem," Friedfeld wrote.

He’s right! He does deserve it.

But not for his privilege; for his attitude.

I didn’t scrutinize every comment in Friedfeld’s original opinion piece, but the vast majority of commenters utterly disagree with his overly-submissive attitude.

Don’t be fooled. This little prick calculated his answer to a “T.” He’s angling for a left-wing non-profit management position somewhere when he graduates. This was just resume’ building.

A liberal who got mugged.

I guess reality has no effect upon him.

One day he’ll wind up a dead white liberal idiot and his family will blame it on his white privilege.

I think he probably crapped his pants during the episode and now wants the world to believe he was calm and accepting.

This Friedfeld guy is a classic narcissist. Truly a blossoming liberal.

"...wonder if they'd been beat within an inch of their life if they'd say the same thing..."

That was my first thought when I read this. If he had been pistol whipped and his girlfriend, wife or daughter raped, you would think his attitude might be different.

But, liberalism being a mental illness as it is, that isn't a given. I have found that the depths of irrational liberalism has no bounds.

It is the same with regard to amnesty for illegal invaders. They are not to be blamed! (sarc)

People like this will become lawmakers and create amnesties for criminals whose income is under the poverty level.

This article has never been posted before, not 3 days ago, not ever. That’s why it did not show up in my search.

This is one of the comments below his oped. Apparently, his fellow Hoyas don't agree with him.

" Personally I’m not thankful he is ok. I think we need to let Darwin take care of the kind of liberal idiocy this “educated” moron is spewing. It is truly an astonishing amount of stupidity in one little article."

I am glad you feel that way, Frieldfeld.

Next time flash a gold Rolex watch on your bare arms.

If this idiot had been shot to death, I wonder if his last conscious thought would have been "I gladly die at the hands of some POS MOFO, because I had it coming because of my white privilege?"

Possibly. Do not underestimate the power of persistent brainwashing. It is producing suicide bombers, after all.

Here’s another comment:

Seat of Mars (@seatofmars) NOVEMBER 26, 2014 AT 9:00 AM
Dear white liberal student, I know it feels good to hate yourself and your culture. I used to be a liberal too. And I know the serotonin filled joy of self-flagellation. Of despising your civilisation, your background, the hard work of your parents and their parents before them, stretching back generations. There is nothing that feels better than taking the moral righteous high ground at the expense of yourself and those closest to you. It is the ultimate in self sacrifice. With the influence of Christian culture taking the blame is written into our very cultural DNA. There is no-one more admirable than the guy who takes the fall for the sins of others.

But here’s the thing. It’s wrong. It’s completely and utterly wrong and wrong-headed. As a liberal you must defend the principles of liberalism. The rule of law, the social contract, the social capital that is built up through generations of people working together in harmony for common goals. Criminals break all bonds of social behaviour. They neither know of, nor care about, the hard won principles of civilisation. Who are you to condemn it? Well, who are you NOT to condemn it? Who do you think you are to give away the principles of civilisation so cheaply? Who are you to normalize muggings and violence and to shrug your shoulders as if they are nothing? The social contract relies on both supporting its principles and on the censoring of those who break them.

Civilisation is not a “privilege” that has arrived by magic. It is not a cheap and tawdry gift that brings only embarrassment to its holders. When the West falls it will be you and your kind who enable it to happen because you treated something so precious with such disdain.
