The Psychology of Entitlement Attitudes

The problem is, of course, that not only is economics bankrupt, but it has always been nothing more than politics in disguise... economics is a form of brain damage.

She certainly won't be rude to a police officer next time.

Nope.

Anyone who abuses someone carrying a firearm is just plain silly.

If unhappy about the "stop" she should have stayed polite but later she could have made a complaint in writing.

Yeah she is pretty stupid, obviously. It is a little sad though that someone who clearly wasn't a violent threat is treated so violently.

But damn.. how stupid is she, that whining like some cat getting killed after she was tazered was hilarious.

Well you couldn't expect them to sit there all day waiting for her to comply. Chances are she new damn well she had a suspended license and was waiting for the right chance to take off, possibly injuring a pedestrian or somesuch while trying to escape. She was clearly warned multiple times that she would be tazed if she didn't get out of the car.

What a whiny dumbass.

So my only question is... is this real? Whats the part about it being done by a student for thier class...?

I found this Sense of Entitlement humorous...

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'F')EMA sent him $9,000 in housing aid, but he spent it all on booze, cigarettes, some clothes, and food—partying, mostly. “I spent my money just the way I wanted, and I think [FEMA] should send me some more,” he says.

Attorneys with the Legal Aid Society have been negotiating a buyout deal for Johnson and the remaining evacuees, and expect a settlement...

In Canada you are supposed to obey any lawfully given order given my a policeman. That he went back to his car and than it escalated would seem to indicate that there was some information he got such as an outstanding warrant or something.

However, I've seen something jsut like this but the SUV was green and it was a highway stop. Again it was a woman and she was on her phone relating everything that was happening to her instead of talking to the cop. In that instance, I think she escalated it by not following the directions of the cop.

but gees, talk about harsh. Things are just so out of control now-a-days. no one treats anyone like they are human anymore.

It is NOT clever to extort money etc from rescue organisations, the state or hotels.

Next time there's a crisis how many will be prepared to help out the refugees with rooms & food after hearing this story?

Should jail the parasite: Manacles, orange jump suit, TV crews, the works - as a high profile example.

The state pays either way, whether it's nights out on the town or bread, water and basic cable at your local holding facility. Your choice.

How do you figure that? I expect she threw a punch at him when he went in to the other side of the car. Shes busy with the first guy who has the tazer out and the other officer went around to the passenger side to slap some cuffs on and she most likely took a swipe at him in the car when she realized that. And so the first fired the tazer as she had been warned about like three times... Thats what it looked like.

Sorry no tyranny to see here... move along..

She was treated worse than a dog. No one in their right mind would tazer a dog for sitting up on the front seat of a car and yipping. That is all she was doing.


One could argue that they didn't go far enough, that they should have shot and killed her. Really, do we need any more SUV driving idiots like this woman? My opinion is no, we don't. As we can tell from the video she is quite stupid, so nullify her.

If we got rid of more idiots more often we wouldn't be suffering so much as a society.
