So...here's what's going on with that last post.

There's a guy. We'll call him Batshit. He's a fellow student, and part of my roommate Roommie's primary social circle, also consisting of RichBoy and CompSci, who are dudes. We're all juniors. I started going out to dinner with Roommie, RichBoy, and CompSci, and drinking with Roommie, RichBoy, and Batshit. I knew they were kinda dysfunctional but I've been depressed and anxious and somehow it was easier than hanging out with my usual circle. I knew from Roommie that RichBoy was a Nice Guy(tm) and that Batshit was sketchy, but I don't get particularly trashed when I'm drunk and I figured it was an okay risk for good food and free, excellent alcohol. (I did say I've been depressed, right?)

Batshit is more than sketchy.

On Thursday night, when my roommate was drunk, he goaded her into cutting up her arm with a steak knife. It will scar. He was angry to be formally reprimanded for it, but has not apologized.

In her words he "romanticized" the knife. I asked for clarification and she mimed him caressing it. He feels better with a knife in his hands. He asked if I didn't think a Wii game about stabbing would be amazing.

One night last term when Roommie was drunk, she suggested they take a walk. They went to his room to get his jacket. When they got there, he said "You don't really want to take a walk, do you." They had sex. She doesn't remember it clearly, but she was sore the next day.

His girlfriend had never had an orgasm before he pressured her into sex. He argued with Roommie that it's okay to pressure girls into sex. When they hooked up, he tried to get Roommie off and was annoyed when it didn't work. He was shocked when he asked how she really felt about him, and she honestly told him "just friends."

He thinks women send signals, and men have to interpret the signals. This pisses him off. He thinks all drunk girls are throwing themselves at him. He told Roommie she was being a tease with the way she dresses. She dresses very casually most of the time but has a large chest.

He's cheated on his girlfriend, despite grandiose claims that he can't even get it up for anyone else. He brags about making out with freshman girls at parties. He harshly judges any woman he knows or believes has cheated.

He's highly homophobic. He claims he beat someone up with a piece of plumbing pipe in high school. He nearly strangled RichBoy their freshman year. He has "episodes" when certain music is played wherein he says racist things and talks about hurting people.

One night we were drinking with another girl. She got really drunk and was in a bad place, and Batshit offered to walk her back to her room. Roommie got so antsy that he might repeat what he'd done to her (despite repeatedly convincing herself it might have been consensual) that she took the other girl into the hall to warn her. Despite that, things happened and the two left together. We ran into them in our dorm, where they'd stopped off. She wound up throwing up in the bathroom and paramedics were called. Batshit spent the entire night until the ambulance left trying to convince them to let him sign for her, take her back to room, and care for her. He lied about how many drinks he'd had. He claimed to me he could consciously trigger an adrenaline rush that would wash the alcohol from his body. He felt she needed to talk to him more than she needed to talk to a professional, because they understood one another: she had spoken to him earlier about wanting to go on a knifing spree.

CompSci and RichBoy are worried if Roommie tell's Batshit's girlfriend that he's cheating, she'll collapse. She's "fragile." Both Roommie and the girl from last paragraph could be considered vulnerable. So could the drunk freshman girls he's hooked up with.

I reported him. Despite my requests that they not tell him, they called him in anyway, and he guessed it was me. RichBoy and CompSci reported he's been angrily ranting about how much he hates me now. Roommie then reported him, with more info, though not filing a formal complaint about the rape. They still can't do anything, but they'll call him in again. Either he'll believe Roommie was involved or he'll get more upset with me.

He's not so stupid to do something sober. He knows he's safe so long as he's discreet. But he could get drunk and riled up, and I'm not sure how worried I should be. We lock the door now, and I programmed Security into my phone. RichBoy and CompSci promised to tell us if he says anything more, though he might stop hanging out with them so much if he realizes they're on Roommie's side.

I probably missed some stuff there. I might edit them in as I remember.

I think he's a young psychopath. I don't know that he's yet capable of directly and obviously hurting someone (he's already harmed people but it's not enough for the college), but I fully believe he will one day. I almost wish he would try to do something to me just so I could nail him with it get and get him gone and stop wondering if I should be scared on Friday nights.
