    Had two bullies in elementary school. One of them died in a car accident a month after high school graduation. The other went on to have a mildly successful college basketball career which was cut short when he was hit by a car.

    No, I was not driving either car

    My friend’s uncle was a cop, I met him when we went on a boat trip. As a way to convey how great being a cop was, he told me how on his first day he told his supervisor he wanted to arrest someone, so they found a homeless person, beat them, and arrested them. He laughed and laughed at this. I was appalled, and told him so. He laughed harder and called me a pussy.

    He’s a judge now.

      That sounds like my old local child protective services (CPS). The kind of people to be open about relocating kids and traumatizing everyone in the process. They did this to my best friend’s family and made the remaining innocent relatives suffer based on association, and now he and his GF who is my other best friend live their whole lives “under the table” so as to not be affected by them, especially since they have the court in a grip.
