A man waited more than 50 years to carry out his vengeance after being bullied at school.
South Dakota man Carl Ericsson never forgot how his bully Norman Johnson pulled a jockstrap over his head in a high school locker room when he was younger.
Retired Madison High School teacher and track coach Norman Johnson had answered his front door only to get shot twice in the face.

Revenge is a dish best served cold. In this case, near absolute zero levels of cold.
Reminds me of a couple “Frasier” episodes.
I’m good with revenge, although in this instance it might’ve been a bit harsh.
Sub zero cold.
When I was a little kid, I got bullied. From that perspective, I understand the desire for revenge.
As I grew, the bullying stopped. It was as much the change in my response to bullying as it was a change in the world.
From that perspective…this guy was nuts.
Get over it. Move on. Do better.
I bet he played doing that over and over in his head for fifty years.
A long time to wait
Learn to let things go.
In South Dakota, a jockstrap is often worn to keep the noggin warm.
What you do is go work for the tax man and subject him to a random audit every couple of years.
Um, is it just me or does the punishment seem a bit extreme for the alleged jockstrap incident?
Rather than shoot the bully he should have brought along a dirty jock strap and made the bully pull it over his own face.
There was one particular person in my high school who bullied me. I hated him. Fifty years later, I have a great professional career, a hot wife, cool cars and money in the bank. I recently checked him out on Facebook and learned that he works as a waiter in a restaurant in Florida. Sonehow, I feel no need to exact any revenge.
I love a happy ending.
Living well is the best revenge if one believes in it.
Haha!
I had a girl bully me in jr high, I became an RN. I saw her on FB, she became a CNA.
I had the same reaction.
That is similar to a plot of an early Simon & Simon episode.
Well, this was a little extreme.
Maybe just do the classic flaming bag of dog poo on the front porch thing. Then he’d still be free.
I’m reminded of a Streets Of San Francisco episode:
Monkey is back.
