Times When Karma And Revenge Worked Hand In Hand

#1 Revenge Is Always A Dish Best Served Cold

Don't worry about what someone did to you wrongly, there is always karma. Yes, it may take forever to get revenge, but sometimes it's worth the wait and so ironic that it couldn't have turned out any better. These acts of revenge over history prove that karma is truly a real bitch!

#2 Carl Ericsson

He couldn't wait for karma to take the reins any longer. Carl V. Ericsson held his grudge deep inside for over fifty years. After being bullied in a school locker room by thugs who taunted Carl with a jockstrap, he kept the memory alive in his mind in hopes of one day paying back his teen bullies. In 2012, Ericsson tracked down one of the students involved in the bullying, Norm Johnson, who was the most popular kid in school. At the age of 73, he found Johnson's address, knocked on his door and asked if he was the same Norm Johnson then shot him twice in the face before he could answer. Ericsson was sentenced to prison but he finally got his revenge.

#3 Cora Crippen & Hawley Crippen

This is a classic case of revenge from beyond the grave, maybe. When Mrs. Crippen discovered that her husband was having an affair she decided to move away with her money. When she mysteriously disappeared Mr. Crippen sold everything prior to setting sail with his mistress for a new life in the US. A decomposing body was found in the cellar of the Crippen home and Hawley was arrested and executed for Cora's murder in 1910. Nearly a century later, in 2010, forensic examination confirmed that the body was not Cora's but that of a man. Hawley was therefore executed for a crime he did not commit. Cora's body or whereabouts was never discovered.

#4 Lorena Bobbitt

She was abused and subjected to marital rape by her husband when finally in the year 1993 she exacted revenge. One night, Lorena Bobbitt decided that enough was enough after her husband came home drunk and abused her yet again. She fought back and then reached for something she knew would stop the abuse. She sliced off his penis with a kitchen knife. She then drove off and threw it out of her car window. The penis was later retrieved and surgically reattached but Lorena Bobbitt taught him a valuable lesson against domestic violence, one he would remember for life!

#5 Alan Ralsky

This revenge was enacted by a group of people. Ralsky was the spam king as he swamped the mail boxes of people with junk e-mails. When an article about him appeared in a local newspaper along with his physical address, those affected by his spam emails switched the script and signed him up for junk mail from a number of websites, magazines, and subscriptions. The result was Ralsky's home being flooded with hundreds of pounds of junk mail each day! On top of that, he was sentenced to 51 weeks in prison for a related stock manipulation scheme.

#6 Aaron Burr & Alexander Hamilton

One of those he consistently broke was Aaron Burr, who lost the presidency to Thomas Jefferson because of Hamilton. Hamilton again went on to work against Burr while the latter was running for governor of New York. It was then that the famous duel took place when Burr challenged his bothersome opponent to a gun duel. Hamilton lost and died in July 11, 1804.

James Annesley's Irish family was loaded with huge amounts of wealth, not to mention a noble title. He also had a greedy uncle who wanted it all.

James worked off the debt and returned to Ireland to confront his uncle. As a result, Arthur's reputation was destroyed, with the cases filed against him in court decrying him as a schemer and scoundrel, and he was placed in lockup in disgrace.

#10 Pierre Picaud

#11 Dachau Massacre

In late April 1945, the members of the 45th Thunderbird Army Infantry Division were ordered to take the Bavarian concentration camp at Dachau when they witnessed one of the most horrific sights against humanity. There were 39 rail cars filled with the corpses of 2,310 camp inmates. The sight of the death train caused them to take revenge and mow down more than 75 German soldiers by machine gun, even those that were unarmed and had come for surrender. It was revenge in its most blatant state!
