What a hideous human being. I wonder if he too was bullied growing up and takes it out on others or whether he was just born cruel. There's no way you would get away with it here - there's laws to stop it happening and the boy could have sued him for wrongful dismissal amongst other things.
If he was bullied growing up, I think that’s even more reason for him to be good to others, after all, he has experienced firsthand what it means to be treated unjustly. It’s a pity that corruption is the order of the day here, otherwise he would have gotten a taste of his own medicine sooner.
