Sense of Entitlement

“This is what you get for messing with me!” witnesses say Miata Phelan screamed at her boyfriend. The witnesses included the man’s 8-year-old son. “I hope you die, motherf&----r!” Sure enough, her boyfriend, and the father of her unborn baby, Larry Martin, 28, did die. Prosecutors say Phelan, 24, stabbed him because he had gone to the mall, and didn’t buy her anything — her birthday was the next day. Phelan has been charged with first-degree murder, and is being held on $1 million bail. (RC/Chicago Tribune) ...Of course he didn’t buy her anything: he got her birthday presents the week before.
