He was in my dorm. He was on the football team and was best known for starting fights with people smaller than him and beating the hell out of them. He was a total psycho. Everyone hated him and smaller people feared him because you never knew when he would just go off on somebody. He really enjoyed it too. I rode in the elevator many times and watched him victimize people in close quarters. "What'r <em>you</em> lookin' at?"__that sort of thing. I was a starter on the wrestling team and often hoped that he would come after me. I would have defended myself. Sadly, he never did. Guess I wasn't an easy target so he left me alone. These allegations don't surprise me because he's just the same guy he always was. Looking at the evidence, he's definitely going to jail. Justice, at last.
