This sounds plausible. He probably haven't suffered any serious consequences of his actions ever before, and his bail agreement, which is pretty mild, only reinforced him in the illusion that this is nothing, it'll all be ok, consequences happen to other people.

He can be both. An entitled schmuck who's not entirely there.

I learned "cocksure" thanks to that comment.

Also I think it runs deeper than his parents. Wasn't it the top contributor to the democrat party during last election ?
