As a 14 yr old at elite "Cranbrooke School", Romney was known for his "practical jokes" , such as the time he led a posse of his fellow little brown shirts, as they tackled a kid whose haircut Willard didn't like, and pinned the crying child down so Romney could cut his hair with scissors.
Or, there was the time Willard escorted a blind teacher right into a closed door.
... What a surprise! Scratch these privileged little buttoned-down mama's boys, and you'll ALWAYS a bully lurking underneath.
These could be seen as wayward incidents from a youth spent seeking a path in life. Except psychologists tell us our basic nature is set by age five ( Any of us who have raised kids can attest to the truth of that).
These stories will resonate, because they illustrate a central truth about Romney's nature that only get exposed accidentally in bits and pieces when he lets his guard down- that he's got a bossy, sadistic, passive-aggressive streak a mile wide, and he takes it out on people who can't defend themselves, who he thinks are "below his station" in life.
No wonder Romney doesn't "relate" to normal people. He isn't one.
Oh shucks. When I was 9, I remember peeking underneath a girl's skirt. Oh, and when I was 8, I think I poked a classmate in the eye. Does this mean I cannot run for President now?

you never did anything wrong while growning up? I certainly do not even want to think about some of the stuff I pulled or even my sweet little sissy husband did in elementary and Jr High. Oh and there was the time our son really did put a dead frog down a little girls dress in about the third grade..I could go on and on. Whether these stories you report are true or not I don't know, but kids will be kids...
oh moving_pains this was him as a teen to his fellow colleague or classmate?
basically you assaulted him or damaged some of his property.
peeking someone skirt. well now did you force the girl to show you her undies? if not then technically you didnt do anything.
as for poking someone if they suffered eye damage like his classmate suffered hair damage then you can press charges.
but Romney used and abused his power to get what he wants like all the rich banksters are doing thats a surprise that he supports the bail out to the banksters but not to the auto industry.
its the same concept and those that argue otherwise are hypocrites.
moving_pains seem to think banksters should have been bailed out like Romney.
but i will concur. Romney shouldn't be attacked just from the past his policies are equally bad.
for now lets leave his past and focus on his bad policies that him and obama share exactly almost.
anyway. it is well known.
if you didn't do the teasing you would be teased yourself.
hence most people just either avoid it completely or try to and those that do get to become target practice for the ones that want to crave attention and join groups to bully people/make friends well fake friends shall we call them.
they do those pranks to get attention and have fun at people's expense usually.
yes he went out of his way and abused his father's power to get what he wants.
what else is new. its always been like that.
which is why someone with a silver spoon from day one is not usually fit to lead.
usually by the 3rd generation of a emperor dynasty the empire falls.
first generation conquers it.
second generation manages it.
third generation spends it.
Right now we are dealing with our son who is being verbally and socially bullied. He's not a wimp. He's played football for 4 years and has done a triathlon. He's a cute, nice kid and he has a good heart and he is having a lot of trouble understanding why people want to be mean.
When it all boils down, there are two kinds of people in the world. Those that want to build others up and those that want to tear others down.
This article is just more evidence of Romney being the latter kind of person. If he had grown up poor, he might be in jail right now.
Please, most of us have had our stints of stupidity. WHen I was a freshman in HS I had my times where I did stupid things that I look back now and say why, or how. That isn't anything like the person I am today. I'll say there are things I don't care for about Romney, but these childish things are what so many kids do, and grow out of.
The Post, citing five people who attended the elite Cranbrook School in Michigan with Romney, said he had led a "posse" of fellow students against another student named John Lauber, who the newspaper said "was perpetually teased for his noncomformity and presumed homosexuality." The group reportedly pinned Lauber down while Romney forcibly cut his hair.
"It was a hack job," Phillip Maxwell, a childhood friend of Romney who was in the dorm room when the incident occurred and is now a lawyer, told the Post. "It was vicious."
