alt Hacker NewsMy elementary school bully killed himself with shrapnel from blowing up a GI Joe. I felt really guilty about it because I kept wishing he would just disappear and then bam, he was gone. Reading Ender's Game gave me way too much sympathy for Ender.
Adult cruelty towards children seems to be a thread running through my life.
The funny thing is that I know my bully in college (another comment in this post) did time but if he got out and managed to go ‘straight’ I would celebrate him because I know just how hard it is. The person I want an apology from that he won’t give is the dean of students who told me ‘his hands are tied’ who is treated as a hero because he did a lot of great stuff for my school. I want to ask him “what would you have done if your daughter was the victim?”
