- Irish kid I knew in HS responded to his friend getting jumped by pulling a pistol on a guy in front of God and everyone, pulled the trigger, and the only reason it didn't make headlines was the firing pin was broken. When he was chased by these guys, he literally tore off one of these kids' ear. Went to a mental facility for 18 months after that instead of jail because his mother was a ranking officer @ the 52nd Precinct. Record was expunged when he turned 18, went on to become NYPD. PRETEND YOU'RE SURPRISED.

- Jewish kid I knew had a psychotic break and tried to murder his mother, sister, teachers and two of our friends. He had a shovel and lye in the trunk of his car, and tools he was going to use to torture one of our teachers to death. He ended up at New York-Presbyterian University Hospital up in White Plains for about two years. Moved to Beloit, WI, then to Minneapolis. Never heard from him after that.

- Jamaican kid in college, actually one of my best friends, had a nervous breakdown once his mother was arrested and they took his younger siblings into foster care. Got separated for a semester for grades, moved to Orlando with his older brother, who was a drug dealer and dragged him into a gangbang on a stripper, which he basically concluded was gangrape, and hated himself for participating in. He came back to campus because it was the only place he had to go, and proceeded to stalk me and my girlfriend for a month, promising a violent confrontation because he "had to do it". Ended up in Greater Lakes Mental Hospital out in Lakewood, OH. I reconnected with him years later. He lives in Opa Loca, Florida and is extremely fragile.
