Just one of the unbelievable tidbits from the article:

And yet, when a reporter asked whether I was surprised that this happened in Georgetown, I immediately answered: “Not at all.”
Can anyone find the news story that this reporter interviewed the author for? Does anyone believe that reporters interview victims of random muggings in DC?

How do you know he is a liberal. Did I miss it in the article?

While I suspect its a satirical story, I can't believe you don't get what he's saying.

The only possible way that you don't is because you have such a black and white outlook with a strict and ridiculous moral code that sees explanations and any empathizing as "making up excuses".
I see it for what it is. It's outrageous propaganda that's aimed at promoting self-hatred. It makes me sick that anyone could possibly think this way. But it's exactly the agenda the mainstream media and the communist "higher education" system pushes. Of course it seems ridiculous now. But this is how their agenda works. Open up a "discussion" on the merits of this topic, and gradually start promoting it in the media and at left-wing schools. It's a form of cultural marxism and there are plenty of ways we've been socially engineered by cultural marxists who are in positions of power in the media and in academia.

Georgetown University is hardly left wing. It's a Jesuit and Catholic university.

He's spouting the typical Cold War nonsense a lot of older folks talk about.

It sounds 100% Bircher.

Irrelevant. Unless you don't consider this a radical left-wing idea. For what it's worth, judging from his name, the person who wrote this garbage is probably not a Catholic.

I tried to read your article and actually got about half way down the page before I couldn't read it anymore. Biggest crock of horse sh*t I've read today, and I've read some pretty stupid crap. Not even worthy of discussion or debate, and I'll PM you my home address so you can send me money 'cause I'm poor and down on my luck and you know.......could really use some of yours. Nothing bigger than twenties if you don't mind.

I only blame them if they commit crimes against those who believe they deserve to be left alone.

If they commit crimes against those more enlightened folks "who empathize and understand", I'm okay with that.

Win/win I always say

Anyway, I think the character in the article is having a good laugh over pulling a lot of legs.
