Sure, we can kick around WHY Brown was like that but it all distills to his believing he was owed something not his.

Entitlement.

Would you forget Brown and Wilson for a second and consider what is being done with the word "entitlement" and consider the connections being made?

Government programs, Food Stamps, Section8, Unemployment, Medicare, Social Security, the myriad pension and retirement benefits, any benefits, public or private negotiated by organized labor or mandated by law.....

= "Entitlement".

Now;

"Entitlement" = "Theft", "Looting", "Violence", etc., etc............

Therefore;

"Entitlement" = "Bad".

Whatever "beast" the right has long wanted to kill = Entitlement, Entitlement = Crime, Crime is bad, entitlement is bad.

You don't see what's going on there?

Tell me; Before this Ferguson mess, when was the last time you heard the phrases "entitlement violence", "entitlement theft", "entitlement looting"......

I heard it for the first time a while back....

On EIB.

You would think this is obvious. The truth s that what's going on goes beyond wanting to "free" blacks from "entitlement". There are all sorts of things they'd like to "free" us all from.

Think about it.

See the game.

In clinical psychology and psychiatry, an unrealistic, exaggerated, or rigidly held sense of entitlement may be considered a symptom of narcissistic personality disorder, seen in those who "[ Freud said ] because of early frustrations, they arrogate to themselves the right to demand lifelong reimbursement from fate."

What about this, Mr. DSM V?

[BlueStreak]

That's "sense of entitlement", Finn, not actual entitlement.

There are things in this life we are entitled to. Convincing us we're not is the first step towards relieving us of those things. Demonizing those things through this "entitlement theft" bullchit and vilifying us for claiming them is a way to trick us into wanting to give them up.

Have you ever heard the term "generational theft"? It's a term created to make old people believe they are stealing from each others grandchildren and feel ashamed for doing it.

This is a variation on that meme.

There was a chain of events leading to his demise that began somewhere, who was responsible for that? The clerk? Darren Wilson?
You get mugged in Ferguson, the poster child mugger gets support. Gotta wonder how long Mike Brown's been getting off with this crap before he turned 18, it'd probably be political suicide to unseal and publish his juvenile record.

Ooops, sorry. Michael had zero juvenile record, Pio. Nada.

He wasn't a choir boy, but he had no record, and was made fun of by the local Bloods gang.

Racial prejudice which in turn led too all the other problems.

I have seen the narcissistic personality up close and personal and I can tell you that proposing that it is a mass psychosis occurring in in the majority of the population is a stretch. They can be totally charming and unaware of what they are doing.

One sentence from Freud. Freud was not an experimentalist. He was a quite subtle theorist, and no one sentence from him, stripped out of his vast web of thought, is going to well-represent the structure and nuance of his ideas.

This is just an example of argument from authority, using a famous-name quote selected to suit the purpose.
