Went to high school with a guy two years ahead of me. Kind of a redneck, had anger problems but not so bad that it made you worry. Two years after he graduated he blocked all the windows and doors to a house and burned the family alive in side in the middle of the night. Total surprise.

My grandfather was in a boy scout troop with Ted Bundy, and I’m pretty sure he went to college with my grandmother too. They both talk(ed) extensively about how charming and normal he was, how little you would expect him to have done anything like what he did.

I went to high school with this kid we’ll call Jay. He was from a low income neighborhood in a part of our town that has a pretty high rate of crime. Long story short, he stabbed a kid at a party about a week after he turned 18. Currently serving a life sentence. It was a shock to hear that it happened, but as odd as it sounds I wasn’t very surprised that he did that. A lot of us could foresee something like that happening – he always seemed to have a problem connecting consequences with his actions.

I went to high school with at least TEN yes TEN people who murdered someone. They were a mix of gang killings, revenge and just plain crazy people. One of the guys killed two older gentlemen in the 8th grade over 50 bucks. He was weird to begin with.
