He is an acquaintance not a friend; but we have known him for many years; I would not be surprised to find out that he has committed very serious crimes up to and including murder. He is a very scary guy; the scariest thing is that most people who know him casually think he is “such a nice guy”. He has a distorted view of the world, he seems to feel that he is entitled to anything that he can get away with. I doubt whether Ted is as extreme a case as he is, but they had similar upbringings and their mannerisms are similar.
I wish I didn’t agree with you up to some extent, but I do.
disappointment doesn’t begin to describe the way I feel about ted.
I immediately discard denials from friends and acquaintances who say “he would never do that”. It means nothing. Every neighbor of every serial killer says that.
