An anonymous reader writes "It was eight years ago that Ghyslain Raza slashed his way into our hearts with his Star Wars Kid video. Sadly, Raza suffered from severe bullying and abuse for his video and eventually ended up in a psychiatric ward for children. However, his video was seen 1 billion times and multiple thousands of geeks came immediately to his defense. While those must have been the worst years of his life, things are now looking up."

I was worried that his negative experience would turn him into a ruthless, soulless shell of a human being. Thank god he became a lawyer instead.

... he’s putting his litigious experience to some use, getting his law degree at McGill University in Montreal.
So, he went to the Darkside.

Who is the forty year old accountant in the picture? Is that what early 20-something men look like these days?

Most of us are brain-whores for some company or other but only lawyers specialize in S&M.

I have an impairment called "empathy". That video made me sad, because I could imagine the position that kid was in.
Sucks to be me, I guess.

I tried to feel bad for you, but I just ended up laughing.
