re: Any Skidmore, MO residents on this board want to tell what happened on July 10, 1981?

Reminds me of a guy I went to HS with. He, and his brothers as well, was a notorious prick that would get into brawls at the drop of a hat. Fighting very dirty as well.

About ten years out of HS I heard several guys cornered him in an alley and beat him to the point he has been in a wheelchair since. Basically left him for dead.

No one was ever arrested for the beating.

And no one felt bad about it.

This is random but analogous. It turns out in most troops of chimpanzees with an alpha male it is the most socially collaborative or intelligent male in that position.

In the instances where the largest and strongest male becomes the alpha by intimidation and physically abusing all of the competing males? Several smaller males team up and tear him apart in fairly short order.
