    The Right Man syndrome

    The Right Man syndrome
    is a personality and behavioral pattern described by science fiction writer AE Van Vogt and later popularized by the British writer Colin Wilson. The term describes an individual, almost always male, who has a dynamic yet fragile personality and possesses a manic need to feel that his actions are perfectly justified and correct at all times.

    The need always to “be right” assumes supreme importance in the Right Man’s life. “To challenge any aspect of a Right Man’s worldview,” says writer Bruce Wright, “is, to him, an insufferable attack on his self-esteem, to be met with whatever vitriol might be required to still the threat .
    I was reading a book about serial killers when i came across the term 'right man syndrome'. Is it just me or does the above description remind you of any certain website owners we might know.

    re: DorkStar


    he went on a ride along with his cock sucking cop brother and they both got killed serving a high risk warrant in Garfield Park.


    the media won't report on this story, as it doesn't involve black people shooting at the police (they were white) and it doesn't involve an officer killing an unarmed civilian.



    RIP.
