Showing Original Post only (View all)"Romney giggled hysterically as the teacher shrugged it off..." [View all]
From the WaPo article about Romney bullying a gay student:
One venerable English teacher, Carl G. Wonnberger, nicknamed the Bat for his diminished eyesight, was known to walk into the trophy case and apologize, step into wastepaper baskets and stare blindly as students slipped out the back of the room to smoke by the open windows. ...
As an underclassman, Romney accompanied Wonnberger and Pierce Getsinger, another student, from the second floor of the main academic building to the library to retrieve a book the two boys needed. According to Getsinger, Romney opened a first set of doors for Wonnberger, but then at the next set, with other students around, he swept his hand forward, bidding the teacher into a closed door. Wonnberger walked right into it and Getsinger said Romney giggled hysterically as the teacher shrugged it off as another of lifes indignities.

What kind of person takes advantage of a nearly blind teacher and has them walk into doors he indicates are open?
I hope Romney got help because he was a very sick person.
