28 Wild Things A High School Classmate Did

26.

“He was the bad kid early on (pulled chairs out from people, would slam kids heads down onto the desk, tripped the teachers, and other random acts of violence). Yet he had some talent when it came to playing football, so all the adults and school administrators turned a blind eye to all the horrible stuff he did…meaning he never learned that there were consequences to his actions. Once he broke into a teammate’s locker and stole money from them (while the football team was practicing) — instead of discipline or perhaps alerting the police, the coaches instead made the team chip in and pay the money to the aggrieved player. And by the end of high school, he was a father of four, with four different girls.”

“Well, his football talent got him a full scholarship to Northwestern University; it took only one semester for him to get kicked out for selling coke and ecstasy. Once back home, he started hanging around the high school, trying to pick up the 14/15-year-old freshmen girls, which eventually led to him being banned from campus. Then one night, he and some friends went into the city, tried to shake down a laundromat owner, and ended up shooting the guy to death. This kid was the getaway driver, and because it couldn’t be proven that he shot the owner, he was given a slap on the wrist. Last I heard, he’s been in and out of prison for various things, like domestic violence, robbery, and drug dealing.”
