Someone had a bad case of karma, IMO.

That's a pretty sad stance from you, though definitely understandable.

Bullies tend to be people with anger issues (with kids it's usually due to sh***y living conditions/family problems... etc) I'm honestly sad to hear that someone you know is in such a predicament. Being homeless is no picnic, and can be quite dangerous depending on the area they are in.

I wouldn't wish that upon my worst enemy.

Then your enemies weren't as bad as mine.

Faulty logic. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy either.

I don't recall wishing him homelessness. Guess it just worked out that way by itself. Ain't life grand...

Well the way I'd look at it is I'd hope they could learn a hard lesson in humility, but not actually starving or something.

Do him and yourself a favor - give him just enough money to either buy a meal and feed himself for a day, or a bottle of cheap liquor and waste himself for a night.

In the end, he will remember your kindness, and curse himself many times over for giving you the opportunity to be gracious to him.

Then again, maybe he will just curse you. In which case, you can walk away knowing that you have scorched his ego by demonstrating that his bullying not only had no lasting effect on you, but that in the end it did nothing to make him a better person than you.

Now dis Fnord guy here, he speaks mah language. I like the liqueur idea myself. Imagine big bad evil Joey singing the rainy Arizona night away in encanto park. And who knows, maybe I'll give him a protein shake- wouldn't want him to starve to death too soon. I want this to last.

LOL. And when most people type LOL, they are communicating inner amusement, but not me. I am sitting here by God, laughing out loud.

LOL

If it really means that much to you, so long after the fact, you didn't win you know. You just lost less than him.

I wouldn't want the bullies homeless. I'd just want them to realise what they did to people and so learn from their mistakes and break their cycle.
