Bring a real point next time. I assume supposedly well-read posters have a fucking clue about the NYT’s writing conventions, especially when they’ve been explained to you in the thread before you posted your half-assed attempt at a rebuttal.
MRS. Mr. Vinyl Turnip
You’re making a giant assumption here. You have no idea the efforts this man’s parents have made to bring him up properly.
Children of good parents can still turn out bad.
Exactly. and children of bad parents can also turn out just fine.
I mean, for all we know, it’s even possible that Flying Dutchman’s kids aren’t huge assholes.
“street thug”? Care to discuss your support for that canard? And Trayvon Martin was a thug, too? Good lord. Certainly clear where some people are coming from.
Not to mention referring to Meat Loaf as Mr. Loaf.
Yeah, I know they claim it’s apocryphal but the story’s too good not to tell.
You realize the police don’t * make * the laws, right? That would be We The People. It’s hardly " totalitarian" to expect citizens of a democracy to abide by the laws that they themselves voted into being, or that they not violently assault the people tasked with enforcing those laws.
Not in the last 50 years
How about if the people enforcing the laws don’t get to violently assault anyone that looks at them funny?
And as for them not making the laws, you’re not paying attention. Here in Minnesota we have a weak minded governor who won’t sign any law that Law Enforcement opposes, and they’re more than happy to step up and tell him what to do.
But does he have any lovely daughters?
When did they start doing that?
And how did he get to be governor?
People here are weird. Quietly weird, but still weird.
That take MIGHT be plausible if Mike Brown was just innocently walking down the street and was confronted by Officer Wilson. But Brown had just robbed a convenience store and had every reason to believe he was about to be arrested. THAT’S why he likely attacked Wilson. A little different from saying “yes, officer” or “thank you, officer”, don’t you think?
You’re providing an emotional reaction that is not based on fact.
That always confused me when I was a kid. If I was a “Master,” how come everybody else got to tell me what to do? 
I once clipped a cute article they once wrote about wrestling, in which they referred to a wrestler who “claimed his legal name was Manfred the Maniac”, and they subsequently referred to him as “Mr. Maniac”.
Just one, IIRC.
Well and feeling fine,

You arbitrarilly bin people by age into categories that deserve or do not deserve respect. What other imaginary hierarchies have you constructed in your head?
Pick 1;
You’re being extremely disingenuous.
You’re a complete fucking moron.
You were born yesterday and are unaware of how the world works.
Me too! Hell, you weren’t even ‘master’ of your own room - you had to clean it up whenever your parents demanded it.
I bet that made you feel so proud.
