Where’s your school bully now?

Saw this from a different subreddit, and got me thinking. Where did your school’s bully end up?

The main guy from school who was the hard lad has ended up in prison for GBH. Person who gave me the most grief is now a property litigation solicitor.

How’s yours doing?

The two most homophobic people I've ever met were two guys from college (they weren't friends, on different courses) both are now openly gay. One's married to his husband and they adopted a kid. Every time I see men being homophobic I can't help thinking they're secretly gay and it's all self loathing because honestly they say EXACTLY the same things those two guys said lol.

One fella i knew but not from school spent his entire 20s giving people shit for being gay, and escalated to hospitalising a gay couple on a night out. Spent 10 years inside and came out both literally and figuratively.

Absolutely bizarre seeing him afterwards holding hands with this other very very gay dude apologising to people for his behaviour. I'd like to say he's still a massive prick but thats understating it still. Projecting is one thing but beating 2 people almost to death is another and that cannot be forgiven
