This is what happens when adults get used to receiving that which they have not earned and the source of the largesse dries up or cuts benefits. The "entitled" get angry, belligerent, and even murderous that their "freebies" were cut or significantly reduced.
How many times have we been warned in this very forum that those on public assistance would turn to crime if their public assistance benefits were eliminated/cut and would attack and harm the rest of us to take what they had been accustomed to getting for free? Many times.
I do not see how you can possibly make any kind of logical analogy regarding a kid killing his father and the 'lower class' attacking the 'rest of us', whatever that even means.
This is simply a fantastic generalization.
We do not know this man. We don't know this family. Do you really believe he killed him solely over an allowance? Not an action deriving from some deep resentment and hate towards his family and/or father?
Every wealthy person who gets an allowance does not murder his/her parents. In fact, I would say the majority of wealthy people do not murder their parents if their finances are cut. I believe a lower class person might do the same if his 'allowance' or something else was taken away by his parents, emotional conditions were the same, and that parental hate is not solely the purview of the wealthy.
There appears to be a political agenda behind the OP sentiments. In general, I do not think this theory would fly in a methodical sociological study factoring in all controls and conditions.

Don't teach them to be entitled to other peoples money in the first place. They need to work to earn their money like everyone else.
You argue the other way, pay them not to harm other people. Now that's a sad way to think.

Why not? There are many examples of left-wingers insisting here on this forum that the taker class will attack the giver class if their benefits are cut or eliminated.

No, I don't. Everyone needs to earn their own (and their dependents') keep. Freebies should be abolished as they only exist if value is taken from some to give to others.

InformedConsent supports the shake down just like the mob did. Pay up or you get hurt.
That's the life InformedConsent advocates for hard working Americans.
With a Princeton degree he easily could have found a nice, cushy job. Now he can utilize that degree at a state run facility for the next 30-50 years.
I heard once that the average prison term for murder is 4 years. Time actually served, not counting probation, time off for "good behavior" etc.
Anyone know if that's true?
