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.

i have this to say to the author of this piece:

"If they had put a bullet through your head because of your 'privilege,' thank God little damage would have been done! It is obvious you suffer from a severe case of Liberal Cerebral Defenestration."

Swordmaker's and Kathy's proposed diagnosis for the new ICD-10 addenda:

321.0 SPLAT Liberal Cerebral Defenestration (LCD) or Liberal Acquired Brain Absence (LABA), Complete loss of rationality, cognition, and cerebration due to indiscriminately keeping one's mind so far open that the brain falls out. First and subsequent encounters.

Beyond stupid and very untrue. Idiot, just walk in the wrong neighborhood here in Chicago, get shot dead, and some idiot will put up a plaque for your “privileged” demise.

Hey Oliver if you really believe that Income Inequality is the reason these poor souls had to rob you and you feel compassion rather than anger, why don’t you get mommy and daddy to take their (and your) millions down to the ghetto and give it all away? YOU HYPOCRITICAL LITTLE PRICK!!!

This guy is literally too dumb to live. He was raised to feel guilty about being successful and to think that he owes bums anything. How sad to handicap one’s child with this crap.

He’s angling for a left-wing non-profit management position somewhere when he graduates. This was just resume’ building.
That or he's got the hots for a Black girl, or guy for that matter?

This mentality is exactly the reason the o was elected...twice.

The word for this behavior is "obsequious" -- a kind of slithery, slavish bootlicking -- not a manly trait of the American pioneering spirit.

All these pics were taken in the past week.

Yes on the last shot. The others are from last August. Unless there has been more global warming again.

Are we to infer that the assailant was Black? Then, by saying that Blacks who commit such heinous acts get a free pass, by saying that the issue of "race" should be taken into account in evaluating the morality of such acts, the victim is tacitly admitting to being racist, right?

And are we to suppose that the assailant somehow "knew" how much the victim's tuition was? That the assailant took this into account in deciding whether he would attack him or not?

Cripes!

Just like a rabbit, some animals are simply prey. In the bunny’s case an ability to breed rapidly and in seemingly endless numbers is the counter balance. But people like Oliver do not procreate or only in very limited numbers. And lack of any survival instinct almost assures a well deserved spot on Darwin’s scrap heap.

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.

It felt good, reading that!

Regards,

Notice how he complains about “privilege” yet does not kill himself. If he truly believed that, he would off himself, as his existence surely harmed millions of people by his sheer “privilege”.

Life would not miss you pal.

This “white privilege” carp is spreading faster than the gay marriage movement. It seems to be everywhere and makes NO DAMN SENSE. Soon we will have an entire generation believing this ridiculous notion that was made up in some University Sociology department and is now becoming accepted as fact.

Now we know why the GJ announcement was delayed. Yes, they wanted to make sure the college idiots were out on break so they could fill in for the black protesters who had grown tired and gone home. They'll have to be back in class Monday because finals are coming up. Wait a couple weeks for Christmas break and that’ll be about the time a civil suit can be filed against Wilson or some other staged outrage like Holder leaking the federal investigation.

-— It’s precisely this kind of ‘otherization’ that fuels the problem,” -—

At this time of year he should be more concerned about weatherization.
