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.

When my kids were little, I told them if you see a classmate being bullied, try and make friends with him. Or her.
“””””I must admit, had I a untraceable gun at the time I was in HS”””””
What is an untraceable gun?
This reminds me of an episode from The Mentalist TV series of ten-fifteen years ago. A long-ago high school prank in a locker room many years earlier led to ruined lives and a couple of deaths at a high school reunion.
LOL. I just realized the pair were from Madison High School. LOL

Back when I was in HS, many guns had registration numbers on them and you could trace them to where they were bought and by whom
Pre gun control act of 1968 obtained in a private purchase for cash. Could only be “traced” as far as where the manufacturer delivered it, even retail stores had no requirement to do checks or keep records of buyers.
I once dreamed about going back and taking my revenge on my school bully, but then I hit puberty, discovered girls, and never thought about it again.
So if they caught you with the gun and could do ballistics and show that the bullet came from your gun, they could find out where you bought it?
The only way you can understand it is to have it done to you
It helps to remember that if you think somebody bullied you in school, somebody else thinks that you bullied them. The jock strap thing probably was going too far, though.
Haven’t read the article yet but I’ll place a wager the guy had something terminal and decided to check off his revenge list.
“ Um, is it just me or does the punishment seem a bit extreme for the alleged jockstrap incident”
I’m sure there was more. And things are more extreme, or seem so, when young.
“ When I was a little kid, I got bullied. From that perspective, I understand the desire for revenge.”
I think it’s more justice.

Obsessive.disorder.minor, but obnoxious bullying. Be careful who you hurt. You may tease an obsessive who will never forget.
As far as I can remember I never bullied anyone in school. I guess I’m safe.
You’d want him in control of your food?
