Privilege & Entitlement: A Look at Philadelphia Gay Bashing Suspect Kathryn Knott

Article here.  Children of powerful people acting privleged and entitled isn't news.  Boys and girls alike, when raised to view themselves as inherently exceptional, act that way; simple cause and effect in action, and most people know this already.  And most people also think that hate crimes against virtually anyone or any number of people belonging to some group are committed exclusively by men.  Well, guess again. Excerpt:

'Though most have heard about the brutal attack on two gay men in Philadelphia that transpired earlier this month, many haven’t learned much about the suspects indicted this week for the attack. Of the three suspects arrested, one in particular stands out as a shining example of privilege and entitlement: 24-year-old Kathryn Knott. The daughter of (Philadelphia-area) Chalfont Township Police Chief Karl Knott, Kathryn Knott serves as a living example of virtually every stereotypical child-of-privilege and law enforcement cliché including abuse of police power for personal gain.

After her arrest (with her two male accomplices), Knott’s past came to light fairly quickly since she leads an active and open social media life. Not only does her Twitter feed glorify binge drinking (and ejection from public spaces due to that drinking), it also contains evidence of xenophobic and homophobic behavior as well as potentially illegal behavior related to her X-Ray Technician work at a local hospital.'
