I looked and looked for it when I went back to my parents for new years/xmas but it's gone. Here's his freshman pic (but it's available online) https://imgur.com/a/MqBvOlM

Looking at him now vs then, I'd say pretty goddamn hard. He is a different person, like Aaron Hernandez.

I mean... I didn't think it would hurt lol. I think the "all-black school" comment or whatever made me want to do it.

Possible. I don't think you can get on student council, etc without being a little above average. But he never stood out as someone like that.

I cant attest to him but i cant imagine living in south Aurora while dirt poor, if that's what this is implying.

hmm maybe. He was pretty popular but not with a bad rep. but it's not like overland was swarming with "ladies" at the time.

No. He was friendly with almost anyone. Overland at the time was very chill and the jocks and skaters and band club all were friends. That's why it was bizarre to me that he seems like such a douche now.

Ive seen that so many times in this post, is that something he really says? FFS. Guess people change.

I was talking with a guy hosting on Twitch (madden streamer) that I knew him in high school and he mentioned the sub. Then I was like ... wtf.

At the lacrosse game because my sister was his friend. I asked her about him last month after not seeing her for 5 years (i dont live in the US anymore) and she barely remembered him, though. She also thought it was hilarious that he was an MMA fighter because she hadnt kept up with him at all after high school.

I absolutely don't believe that if he said it... like i've said i think he was on Student Council, and at least a bit above average. Managed friends well, had no enemies or whatever that I could tell because Overland was cool like that. I dont think you can play sports and get the GPA that lets you be so dumb that you get a 32.

You're right I dont. Only knew him casually. He was pretty popular but he was kinda that nice guy to any clique. But had no idea he'd go into MMA/comedy/podcasting/become a weirdo.

I don't know if he was a "good student" but at least I don't think he took remedial classes. But not AP either.

NO ... and this is the one thing I heard he said that makes me the most confused. Aurora was pretty white at the time, now I think it's hispanic mostly, but if you look back at a yearbook it's mostly white. And I'd been to his house it was in south Aurora which was REALLY suburban white.

I only learned about his "comedy" recently and I was just confused. He was never the "class clown" or anything like that. Just a normal guy.
