The person in the first story said they put bleach and ammonia in their revenge “cocktail.” That makes chloramine gas. That’s like a chemical weapon. Ronnie’s lucky he’s still alive.

To the OP giving that wife beater his dues, you aren't a bad man, if anything you gave her justice, you gave her freedom. I recently found out a girl I knew growing up was brutally beaten by her bastard boyfriend. Thankfully she's home safe now, but i can't help but feel rage at what she went through. I wish nothing but awful and painful karma to abusers!!!! To the Marine, Im sorry. You were giving information you believed to be true and acted appropriately. Im sorry that happened, I hope you find peace. I hope you can forgive yourself. 🙏🏼

The OP that got Linda out of that abusive marriage is not "that guy." I do not condone what the OP did at all but I can't call him anything but a good man for letting that dark side out one last time for the traumatized child inside him as well as Linda. I'm glad it all worked out for him and his wife.

Mean little boys put rocks in ice balls & threw them at my great grandmother , when she was a young girl. They hit her in the face & permanently & partially blinded her in one eye & damaged the other. As she got older , she went permanantly & completely blind. I moved in with her, so she could remain independent , for another few years.

Second story about Lynda, I wish I had someone that would've done that for me with my first husband. He put me in hospital twice and was the cause for a miscarriage. In my eyes your a hero.

Genuinely feel bad for everyone in that first story. Kid was a an asshole for sure but like OP said it was probably due to abuse/neglect from his own parents. And now he’s permanently blind. I’ve been severely bullied growing up myself but I’ve also grown up with abusive parents,  and I can understand why OP doesn’t feel proud of what they did. I just wish kids had better parents.

I'm torn about Rotten Ronnie.  While no child deserves that pain and certainly not the permanent loss of sight, I wonder what would have happened if he wasn't given such a harsh reality check. The culture on council estates is so toxic and so many abused kids like him end up continuing the cycle of abuse. I mean, making kids eat glass? Escalating that behaviour would probably have ended with Ronnie in and out of prison. Obviously it's speculation, but I've seen it so many times. Again, definitely the wrong way to go about it - a good punch would have had the same effect - but I still wonder if this saved a lot of pain for both Ronnie and the people around him in the long run.

These were genuine “Raw”  human stories.  I love them.  I love the courage for those who
shared their intimate “demons” with the rest of us, for you to narrate. Thank you!  These stories had a bit more depth, I hope to hear more like this.   Good night, I could not sleep without you ❤️😴

Everytime I hear, “Hey friends. Thanks for listening” I always respond with “Hey Joel, thanks for narrating”☺️☺️

I’ve been on the receiving end to something similar to what that guy said in the 4th story to the woman. I’m a woman, I’m 5’4” and 130lbs so I’m pretty small. But I work alone as a storage facility manager. One day this potential tenant (a heavy set and tall man, easily double my weight, and probably a foot taller) came in and wanted to look at some units. In order to do that, I would need to go with him, alone to a unit inside a steel and concrete building that is usually devoid of people. I had been doing my job for about 5yrs at that point, it’s in a safe, low crime area, and I’ve never ever had a bad experience with anyone. I got complacent basically. So without missing a beat I agreed to show him a unit. As I’m walking in front of him showing him talking about his options to rent, when he hits me with “do you ever get worried about being alone with men you don’t know? What if someone were to throw you into a unit, close the door and took advantage of you?” I got a chill down my spine and mustered up everything I could to not show I was terrified by what he said. So I said “oh I’m not alone. The maintenance guy is working today (lie). Also I’m a veteran (true) and I think I can protect myself if it came down to it.” He just gave me a kind of vacant stare and said “oh… that’s good” and I finished up the tour as quickly as possible. Man left without renting, and I never saw him again. After that though I became a lot more cautious and started making people give me their ID to put in the cash drawer in the office if I was going to show them around, and I carried pepper spray. If they tried anything, their ID would be there and I could give them a good spray in the face to run. I’ve been doing this job for 10yrs now and thankfully I’ve never had any issues to need that. Still creeps me out sometimes to think about what he said to me though. That story reminded me a lot of what was said to me and I can relate to how terrified that woman must have been.

No sympathy for Ronnie whatsoever. The only thing that would have made his just desserts even sweeter and more well deserved would be if he had been told why it was happening to him. 100% his own fault, regardless of the condition he was left in afterward.

Poor Rotten Ronnie. Good he became less horrific towards others afterwards. Karma is real…just too bad it had such serious consequences in his case.

I was super afraid that the Afghanistan story was going to be a pregnant woman.

The first story clarified that Ronnie was not the bullies actual name then right after stating that they said Rotton Ronnie was the nickname they gave him back then.

Regardless of if it’s true or not it’s still a good story and good on them for getting back at Ronnie’s punk ass💀

For the 1st story, I don't blame OP for what she did. Ronnie was a bully who bullied everyone around him. Yes, he probably had a terrible upbringing, not so great parents. He was more than a bully though, he was a sociopath. Nothing could stop him. There was always going to be someone who would get back at him. If it hadn't been OP it would have been someone else and it probably would have been worse, like murdering him. What OP did was harsh but it could have been much worse and OP's friend could have gotten really sick or died from what the bully did. So, I think he got what he deserved. This is also coming from someone who was also bullied and was never able to get revenge on her bullies.

I feel sorry for any kid, including "Ronnie", who was ab---sed by their parents in their own home, but that does not justify bullying one's peers.

Placing your entire body weight on a smaller and weaker person, to the point they are incapacitated, and shoving animal feces in their mouth is beyond vile.

Well, now that fella knows what it's like to have his self-worth completely and utterly annihilated.

The individual who confessed to administering her revenge chemical cocktail to the guy should not feel the least bit of guilt, if you ask me.

it makes me sick knowing op in the last story is in a relationship and could possibly assault his current gf if his disgusting thoughts become actions.

The last one turned my stomach

Story 3- The Soldier. I'll be honest I was just so relieved the "lump" under the burka was groceries. I was so sure/scared the woman was going to be pregnant and could not imagine the kind of guilt that would have come down on OP. Killing an innocent bystrander is bad enough but an expecting mother? Worse, just that much worse.
I hope OP has the mental and emotional support they need even now that they're home.
