This Georgetown University Student Is Cool With Being Mugged Because He’s “Privileged”
There hasn’t been enough stupidity posted on this site today. Thankfully, a Georgetown student told the world that he’s completely cool with being mugged because he is “privileged,” so I believe we’ll reach our “stupid quota” for the day. Fucking moron.
After being mugged at gunpoint recently, Georgetown University senior Oliver Friedfeld had no issues with being the victim on the crime. Instead of calling a spade a spade, he attempted to cast the blame upon himself, because he has affluence and his attackers do not. Completely fucking reasonable, right?
From Campus Reform:
“Not once did I consider our attackers to be ‘bad people.’ I trust that they weren’t trying to hurt me. In fact, if they knew me, I bet they’d think I was okay,” wrote Friedfeld in an editorial featured in The Hoya, the university’s newspaper. “The fact that these two kids, who appeared younger than I, have even had to entertain these questions suggests their universes are light years away from mine.”
…
“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?’” asks Friedfeld. “It’s precisely this kind of ‘otherization’ that fuels the problem.”
The little criminals robbed you not because of your perceived sense of privilege, but rather because they’re fucking thugs, you goddamn idiot.
Your message sounds fantastic, it really does. I wish I saw the world as naively and perfect as you, but you’re simply not comprehending the issue properly. Leprechaun shits and unicorn giggles are entertaining to dream about, but they don’t fucking exist, just like your make-believe utopia of kindness.
Friedfeld suggests that the “privileged” adapt to normalized crime, until the wrongs of the past are righted.
… or nah.
I’m done with this guy..

It’s good to see that the majority of the commenters, who are students, are telling this kid how much of an idiot he is. The problem is, you’ve got a few idiot social justice warrior loudmouths who say stupid stuff like this that make people think that’s what the whole university stands for.
11 years ago at 4:33 pmHe stated in his article, “I had never before seen a gun, let alone known where to get one”. NF. This kid sounds like a loser.
11 years ago at 3:21 pm“Social Justice Warrior Loudmouths” are usually the people who actually go into areas like Anacostia and do service work…..soooooooooooo…..
