Those people usually pay for it just by the lives they live.

I remember one time I rode my friends bus to work on a project with her after school. The school stopped at a hood middle school on the way and picked up other kids.

I’m turned around talking to my home girl and all of a sudden I feel pain. I turn around and this little kid is beating me with his belt… while SOBBING tears. It was so bizarre, I could tell right away this kid wasn’t all there, so I didn’t fight back, just defended.

Wasn’t a huge deal, just weird. I laughed about it the next day at school. Somehow administration found out and asked me if I wanted to press charges. Now I’m not sure they knew he was “special”, but even at that age I thought it was kind of fucked up they were gonna treat it like a regular assault.

Only explanation I could come up with was that he had a crush on my home girl and me talking to her set him off.
