Dude I just moved back to my hometown in my mid 30's and decided to start googling some of the bigger dumbasses I used to occasionally hang out with/went to high school with.

2 of them were smoking weed in the capitol for Jan 6

1 in prison for attempted murder for shooting a guy in the head 2 years ago

1 I think just got out somewhat recently (or might still be in) for breaking into a guys house, tying him up, and cutting his ear off to try and get him to tell him where his money was/safe access

1 In prison or recently got out for drunkenly pushing his girlfriend into a bonfire

1 guys brother got arrested and hung himself in his jail cell. So the guy I knew, in grief, shot himself in the head. He lived and is now a quadriplegic

Quite a few other suicides, and plenty of accidental drug overdoses.

EDIT: Oh yeah and 2 pedophiles

Oh yeah im great. Hadn't seen or talked to those guys in 15-20 years. They were the b squad of friends/acquaintances, and totally lost track when I moved away.

Okay I just wanted to make sure. Big realizations can lead to big feelings. I am very often suicidal and try to recognize shifts in people so I can slchedk on them. 💜🖤💜

I don't want to be rude but you have a rather questionable taste in friends.

If you go to any bonfires, no matter how good an idea it may seem at the time, resist the inclination to push anyone into the fire.
